[Guest Blog from my sister Gayle]
A little idea that has done great wonders for mom's tender, fragile skin has been this wonderful recipe that sister Gwen researched and experimented with. Sometimes hourly changes, requiring lots of cleaning up, had mom's skin on the verge of break down--nearing the point of no return. Using this recipe made a big difference, and I believe has protected and preserved her from painful sores, infection, and discomfort.
Start with lots of little cotton squares/rectangles, cut from an old T shirt, fold to fit into available small plastic tub, like deli meat comes in. Pile to top of container.
Heat to boiling, 4 cups of water. Pour into mixing bowl with 1/4 cup of each: glycerin, aloe vera, aquaphor wash. Whisk until blended and cooled a little. Pour into container with folded wipes. (Let cool before putting lid on).
As wipes are used, throw in bucket with water and a little vinegar. To wash, put in washer and spin out water. Wash on hot with non-chlorine bleach and detergent.
(A nice little chore while mama is napping!)
