Things I wish everyone knew about skincare (from a dermatologist!) 👇
🧴 Deodorant works better when applied at night – your sweat glands are less active while you sleep, which helps the ingredients absorb and block sweat more effectively.
🧼 Dandruff shampoo needs time to work – don’t rinse it off right away. Let it sit on your scalp for 3–5 minutes so the active ingredients (like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione) can actually do their job.
🌿 Antifungal creams treat more rashes than you think – many red, itchy rashes that look like eczema are actually fungal. 💧 Hot water can make eczema worse – it strips the skin of natural oils, increases inflammation, and makes itching worse. Lukewarm water and short showers are key.
It’s not always about having more products—it’s about using the right ones, the right way.
