How to Make a Natural Mosquito Repellent? - #48128

Client_ab14b4

Hello. I was wondering if I could make a mosquito repellent, water based spry. You see, mosquitos love to bite me and I am going to Thailand, where their bite is dangerous. I have essential oils such as lavander and lemongrass and I was wondering if I could mix them both or one, with distilled water. This would be easy for me to use and not much oily. Thank you.

Have you experienced any allergic reactions to essential oils before?:

- No, never

How often do you get bitten by mosquitoes?:

- Frequently

Do you have any underlying health conditions that might affect your skin?:

- No, healthy skin
