It is unlikely that you will find a person who would dare to go into nature without a quality mosquito repellent.

If you don’t do this, you’ll hardly be able to rest: hungry insects won’t give you any peace.

However, purchased formulations can be quite toxic. You can often hear about allergic reactions or skin irritations. This is explained simply: manufacturers use chemicals.

Therefore, it is better to make your own composition based on natural ingredients.

How to do this?

The only downside is that the ingredients are quite rare and can be expensive to buy. But you can use the product for a long time, and without any risk to your health and skin.

You will need to pour 15 drops of lemon and eucalyptus essential oil into the container. If you find lemon eucalyptus essential oil, you can use it: take 30 drops at once.

Then add one small spoon of vanilla extract. Surprisingly, mosquitoes hate vanilla.

Next, add about 120 ml of regular vodka.

The composition is mixed and poured into a container with a spray bottle.
