I was going to try bicep area as someone had suggested but becaue that area is not as dry as outer arm and can rub against other areas I thought I'd do outer arm.
I find that I have to rub the damn cream for at leaast 5-6 minutes to make the white go away. |
The tricep area is too thick for the cream. If you pinch the skin on the tricep, and then pinch the skin on the inner bicep, you will notice that the skin on the inner bicep is much thinner. The inner bicep area is great for applying the cream. That is where I apply it. It is dry, and out of the way, and after putting on a T shirt you can avoid transference. You can apply it to the inner area of the bicep. In order to avoid having a hard time rubbing the cream in, rub in a very little at a time, and once that is completely rubbed in, then rub in a little more, repeat until done. I have found that this is the quickest and best for absorption. After being done, the cream should be completely absorbed. Apply to 1 bicep per day, and alternate biceps every day.
They provide a measuring spoon that measures 1gram. To measure less, you can use cooking measuring spoons. 1/4 teaspoon = 1 gram, 1/8 tsp = 1/2gram. To measure less, buy small cooking spoons set called dash, pinch smidge. Dash = 1/8tsp, pinch = 1/16tsp, smidge = 1/32tsp. So, you can measure out 100, 50, 25, 12.5mg's T.
In order to lower your dose to 50mg, you need to use 1/8 teaspoon.
