✔ Ensure your skin is completely dry before application.
✔ Apply a thin layer to affected areas using the rollerball (like a deodorant).
✔ Use it at night before bed and wash it off in the morning.

Following these steps will help control excessive sweating effectively while keeping your skin protected.

How to Apply Driclor
