Just chop a big garlic clove (take off skin first) into three or four pieces, then cover it with olive oil and keep in an airtight container. I use a really little container, but if you use a bigger one, like a small rubbermaid, then use a little more garlic and a little more oil. I swab it gently on with a q-tip, however many times a day I want. It 's very soothing. You can store it in the fridge between ob's, but otherwise I keep mine right by my bathroom sink. I can also put my tiny container in a ziploc and carry it with a few q-tips around in my purse.
