Antiperspirant or deodorant?

Antiperspirants, on the other hand, actually fight the sweat.

That means that these products should ideally be applied in the evening before going to bed.

Its also a good idea to put it on right after the shower.

It is best to apply an antiperspirant in the evening to clean, dry skin.
