🦟 My natural mosquito lotion recipe to enjoy summer without bites
I don't know about you, but I love summer... until the mosquitoes show up to spoil the party. And since I'm not going to use chemicals to keep them away, I've been making my own mosquito lotion for years with natural ingredients, which, by the way, you can find at Alma Eko .
It's super easy, quick to make and... it works like a charm!
🌿 What you need:
- 120 ml of water
- 1 tablespoon of pharmacy alcohol
- 15 drops of citronella essential oil
- 15 drops of geranium essential oil
- a bottle , preferably with a spray bottle
(If you want to vary, you can substitute the citronella for clove essential oil, which is also a great repellent.)
🧪 How to prepare it:
- Pour the 120 ml of water into a spray bottle.
- Add the tablespoon of alcohol.
- Add the drops of essential oils.
- Close, shake well… and that’s it!
📝 My recommendations:
- Always shake before use so the alcohol and oils mix well with the water.
- Do not apply it to the face or directly to babies' skin (in case they put it in their mouths).
- You can use it on your skin, clothing, or even curtains and mosquito nets to keep bugs at bay.
And just like that, with four steps and in less than two minutes, you'll have your lotion ready to enjoy your summer nights on the terrace, sunset walks, or that dream vacation... without that annoying buzzing sound near your ear .
💛 At Alma Eko, you have all the ingredients ready to ensure mosquitoes don't stand a chance this summer.
