Can I just use DMSO with essential oil and use on my face for acne?? Thanks

I rather doubt it! If you try to use it be sure to dilute it greatly! Start with about a 30 to 40 % and work up from there. I used it full strength on my knees and it burned and itched badly, after which all the skin peeled. I to have been diagnosed with acne. What worked most profoundly for me was the 4 or 5 regiment of Proactive. After just a month or so the acne completely cleared up! I have seen it do fantastic things on several others.

Hi Marie, I have used it on my legs and arms, great for aches and pains but it could irritate your face so I would pass

Yes, spray your face lightly after using other product, as this will then penetrate your skin. If uncomfortable dilute 50/50 with distilled water or weaker dilutions

Here is a link to one if the many sites I use as reference. You can always google the various ways to use your oils. Keep in mind ths oils should be diluted in a carrier oil before applying topically to your skin to avoid desensitization.http://younglivingoillady.com/essential-oils/frankincense-essential-oil/

MSM is used by many people with crèmes or butters for application to skin. There should not be any reason why you could not use oil. If you are using it externally it will be taken up through the skin. Make sure the oil is one that works well with uptake. If you use it internally, drinking it in juice or water is just fine. My family uses it every day. It is natural and water soluble and the body uses what it needs the rest excretes.

The best way I have found to use this oil to combat acne is as part of an oil cleansing method. You can find tutorials online, but the basics are to combine a castor and sunflower seed oil and a few drops of oils such as tea tree and sea buckthorn.

There's nothing in the list of ingredients listed as DMSO. I have to admit I don't know what that is. If there is a spelled out name of the ingredient you're asking about, I can check the list again.

This DMSO is not for people. It is a solvent. I bought it by mistake. There is another DMSO that IS for people. Look for it - but don't buy this one.

I do not believe so...if it does it'd be just a bit of water. To check you can put your bottle of DMSO in the fridge not freezer and it will freeze right away and the liquid that's not frozen is water and you can pour it off making your DMSO even purer.

It doesn't come with instructions. Just Google DMSO and you will get several opinions. You have to see what dose is best for you.

Yes it is. I have sensitive skin and also oily areas on my face. You don't need to use very much, just a small dab. It goes a long way. I hope you give it a try!

The answer depends on what you are choosing to use the DMSO for. I use a 4 oz spray bottle and have 2.5 oz of Aloe, 1.0 oz purified filtered water (or enough to allow it to spray) and .5 oz of DMSO.

Well, I can only speak from personal experience. Yes. I have used tea tree and breathe easy essential oil. Just know that the unit comes with pads in an enclosed pouch with the menthol already added (so you just put the pad in and it's ready to go). What I did was waited until my pad got older and the menthol scent faded out...then I added my essential oil. I know you can buy seperate pads at Walmart, but I'm not sure if they are filled with the menthol (which is pretty strong). Or you can buy the makeup pads and cut them and use them to absorb your essential oil. I like the unit though. It has a lot of potential:-)! Well, I can only speak from personal experience. Yes.

I make soap myself; so yes, you can use this on your face. Tea tree oil is very beneficial for skin problems.

Not certain as to the technical answer to that... I can tell you that I can use it daily for about 2 weeks before I notice my skin feeling more oily than usual, longer if I'm using a good face wash. But, I've never dealt with acne, so my perspective may not be a good source of information. I would imagine that the Andalou company would be pretty good about addressing that in an email though. Best wishes in your search for an answer!

While using DMSO, I asked friends if they could smell garlic; they all replied "no," but perhaps body chemistry may create that odor. Nope--no garlic smell on me, and the DMSO works beautifully. I have no knowledge of what MSM is, so I'm not sure about the transformation of DMSO. Ask a chemist. :-)

No...just the usual warnings. Your best source for specifics on how to use DMSO is the Internet. This seems to be a high quality DMSO product. I have been very pleased with it.

you should use an oil that is 'steam distilled' if you are planning on using this on your skin. the description on this oil reads distilled, it does not specify 'steam distilled' which most manufacturers are usually quite happy to 'Shout Out' about, as it costs more to do this method.I know you are seeing that this is a pure oil and you're thinking that it costs so much less than the 'other essential oils' , one of the reasons they cost more is that they are steam distilled, not chemically distilled like I suspect this one probably is. My safety motto is: If the label doesn't say it, always assume it isn't.
