3. Soak cotton pads in the mixture

Next, you’re going to take some round cotton pads and cut them in half. Soak each of these halves in that cucumber mixture. They’re going to turn green and soak up all that goodness.


Pull them out with a fork and place them on a tray. Then, grab a container that has a lid on it and place all of those soaked cotton pads in that container. Store this in the fridge.
