You'll need:
Witch Hazel Aloe Vera Gel (I liked the medicated, pain relieveing one because it helped numb everything- super beneficial if you need stitches!) Pads (the larger the better! I had some extras that my hospital gave me) Lavender essential oil (optional)What to do:
Open the pad and save the wrapper! For each pad you'll want about 2tbsp of witch hazel, about 1tbsp of the aloe Vera gel, and a couple of drops of the oil. Mix it all onto the pad and then fold in half and wrap it back into the wrapper. Store all padsicles in a gallon size Freezer baggie and place them in the freezer!"
