Add Essential Oil(s):
Carefully add 30-40 drops of your chosen essential oil(s) to the mixture. The essential oils not only provide a pleasant scent but also possess natural insect-repelling properties.
Mix Thoroughly:
Secure the spray bottle’s cap and gently shake the mixture to ensure the ingredients are well combined. This will evenly distribute the essential oils throughout the solution.
Test and Adjust:
Before applying the repellent to your skin, perform a patch test on a small area to ensure there are no adverse reactions. If irritation occurs, dilute the mixture further with additional witch hazel.
Application:
When ready to use, shake the bottle to remix the solution and spray it onto exposed skin, avoiding the eyes and mouth. You can also spray it onto clothing for added protection.
Reapplication: Reapply the repellent as needed, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain its effectiveness.
