If you don’t have a latex glove, you can apply the Biofreeze using a bare hand.

Start by squeezing 1⁄4 teaspoon (1. 2 mL) of the Biofreeze onto the tip of your gloved index finger.

If you’re applying Biofreeze to someone else, ask them where the pain is located, and apply the gel to the area they describe. If you need Biofreeze on a hard-to-reach spot (like the center of your back), ask a friend to rub the gel on for you.

Throw the glove away in a trash can. The trash can should have a lid, and be out of the reach of children or pets.

Eyes or mouth. Ears. Armpits. Crotch area.

This and other directions should be printed on the Biofreeze tube itself. Be sure to read and follow all of the directions before beginning to apply the Biofreeze.

Do not apply Biofreeze by rolling it back and forth or by rubbing it around in circles.

If you apply Biofreeze without squeezing the tube, less of the gel will be applied to your skin. You may not feel the full effects of the Biofreeze, and may be left with lingering muscle pain.

Follow any other safety precautions as printed on the Biofreeze tube. Do not apply more than 4 times on the same area in a day.
