My family loves to be outside! We don't love the bugs, however. I am convinced that we have sugar in our blood with the way that we attract mosquitoes. I want to keep us protected but I don't want us to be using harmful chemicals. I've tried a few non-deet bug repellents but nothing seemed to really scare those suckers away! So I made my own using our Young Living Essential Oils. And it works! I feel that we need to reapply ever couple of hours but that's no problem. I was hesitant that it would smell awful. But it actually smells pretty good! Better than store bought bug spray for sure!
DIY Bug Spray
(DEET free!)
What you'll need:
4 oz glass spray bottle
natural witch hazel
1 tbsp carrier oil
(I chose Vitamin E Oil)
10 drops Purification
7 drops Peppermint
7 drops Thieves
5 drops Lemongrass (optional)
Add the oils to bottle. Fill rest of the way with witch hazel. Shake well before each use.
Be sure not to spray in or around eyes!
