NATURAL MOSQUITO REPELLANT � THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!

Ingredients:

4 ounces witch hazel (alcohol-free if you can find it)

30 drops TerraShield essential oil

20-30 drops Clove essential oil

4 ounce, tinted glass spray bottle

Method:

Fill the glass spray bottle with the witch hazel. Then, add 30 drops of the TerraShield followed by 20-30 drops of Clove oil (the more clove oil added, the stronger your mosquito repellant will be). Shake well. For use, spray the repellant over exposed skin areas and rub in. Avoid the face and eyes. Apply every 2-4 hours depending on how aggressive the mosquitos are.

*CAUTION: Clove oil is considered a “hot oil” meaning it can be irritating to sensitive skin. Test the repellant on the small patch of skin first to make sure your skin can tolerate it. If you do find it irritating, calm the area by applying coconut or olive oil. However, I’ve had several families (with children as young as 18 months) try this blend with no problems or adverse reactions.
