Not applying it every day
This one can go either way. “Depending on your body and what type of deodorant/antiperspirant you’re using, you may not need to apply every single day, explains Dove dermatologist, Alicia Barba, MD, in Miami. Some antiperspirants are made to last 48 hours, which means daily application isn’t essential. When in doubt, read the label, or just cleanse and reapply.
