Dilution before application: To avoid irritation, it is recommended to start with about 25% DMSO diluted in distilled water (i.e. 25 ml DMSO + 75 ml water)
Sensitivity test: Before widespread use, test on a small area of skin (e.g. arm) and observe for 15–20 minutes for any irritation
Application: Apply evenly to the targeted, clean skin after washing with mild soap, and allow to be fully absorbed (20–30 minutes before contact with other materials)
Break after use: Since the skin remains permeable for up to 30 minutes, avoid contact with chemicals, cosmetics, newspapers, etc. during this period
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place in a dark glass container. If it crystallizes (below 18–19 °C), simply warm in hot water (not a microwave) to return it to liquid form
