Could you believe it if we told you that you have been putting on your deodorant all wrong for all these years? Don’t worry, you are not alone and it’s never too late to make it right.

The two are actually different. In as much as they are both applied on the underarms, they serve different purposes. So, what’s the difference? Like its name, an antiperspirant prevents you from sweating. On the other hand, deodorant masks the odor that might result from sweating. If you sweat too much, you should invest in an antiperspirant instead of a deodorant.

2. Applying it in the morning

We are all guilty of doing this. Experts suggest that deodorant is best applied at night when your body is less active. That way, it gets enough time to kill the bacteria on your skin that causes body odor.
