I don't know about you, but I've noticed the mosquitos starting to peek their ugly little probosci around our yard. I have tried a lot of different natural sprays and lotions, but have found this simple recipe to work the best. Make sure to store it in a dark/amber colored glass or plastic container after you mix it, as the sunlight breaks down the oil's properties and will lessen the effectiveness.
20 drops Eucalyptus oil
20 drops Cedarwood oil
10 drops Tea Tree oil
10 drops Geranium oil
2 oz. carrier oil ( such as Jojoba or Olive Oil )
Mix together in a 4 oz. container. Apply to skin as needed avoiding the eye area. Keep out of reach of children. Test on a small area of skin for sensitivities . Experiment with different percentages of essential oil.
