How can you take a shower with antiperspirant on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antiperspirants: What? This is not the way that antiperspirants are intended to be used. In fact, the way that they say they should be used is after the shower, but that is not the best time of day to use them. The most effective and antiperspirant is used when it is applied to the dry armpit at nighttime and slept with it on.
