What/how do you clean skin with before applying DMSO?

I use soap and water. But unfortunately I'm usually away from home and can't use natural soap. I also like to use an organic shea butter/calendula salve to drive the solution deeper into my skin.

Pure water, no lotions or soaps.If you use unfiltered water, the toxins and bleach from the water will be getting in your body too.

I just use tea tree oil soap or lemon grass soap (neither has any chemicals). Then rinse THOROUGHLY,Again and again. I never use DMSO by itself, but rather always mix it with other things, such as coconut oil.

I'm not sure what the manufacturer would recommend, but I would suggest a small amount of mild soap and water on a face cloth.

I use Pond's evening soothe makeup wipes (they're in a lavender colored package) and use baby shampoo as a cleanser to remove any excess makeup left and a good moisturizer after ! I have super sensitive skin and it's unbelievable how this combination works after the sealant

Yes, I would mositurize very well before hand. Let the skin absorb it then apply

The makers do this for legal purposes. DMSO is not approved for human use. Owners of expensive race horses go through gallons of DMSO a year. I'm up to my second jar. It did start iterating my skin, but only after it cleared up a fungus I had.

Make sure to wash face before use. And I read somewhere to rinse off in water and let air dry between uses..

I lightly dampen my face with water and then apply about a dime size amount. I leave it in for about 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Hope this helps!

I'm not quite sure that's a good idea: DMSO is a powerful solvent, and it can carry anything into the body through the skin. Aloe vera may be innocuous on the skin, but may be toxic if carried into the bloodstream. You should always apply DMSO on clean skin, otherwise you risk poisoning yourself.

I just used a mild collagen soap. There was no real residue to speak of; easy to remove. Just wash your face as your normally would.

dmso should be diluted about 50/50 with filtered water. No TAP water as it contains chlorine. dmso will carry anything with it through the skin so make sure that everything is clean. No soaps, creams or dirt. It has a dehydrating effect on skin so use just a little on temples or clean skin.

I would cleanse with soap and disinfect the skin before use. Soak the needle head in alcohol for 10 minutes before and after use.

Since I only use this product after I've washed my face clean, spraying alcohol from a spray bottle and rinsing in water seems to be enough to clean this off. Then I air dry and replace back in the container it came in.

The size of a dime and make sure you exfoliate beforehand no amount of skincare products will work on top of dead skin. Rub in circular motions let absorb

Thank You for taking your time to comment to my question. Hope the DMSO will continue to improve the pain problem for you.I find it helps me alot but can't use it every single day as it does burn the skin.

Whatever cleanser you prefer. I would test with something mild first, depends on your skin how much it can tolerate, but this is a very thorough cleansing tool.

With your face soap, mix a small amount of the micrdermabrasion. You will notice a more even cleaner healthier looking skin. I love it

I just use it with a normal gel cleanser. You could probably even use bar soap with enough lather.
