All Natural Mosquito Repellent

You see recipes for mosquito repellent all over Pinterest.  So I wanted to give it a try.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!   It is very light on the skin.  It is not oily and works pretty well.  I do tend to make sure that I reapply often because I am paranoid about bug bites.  But it lasts for about an hour (in my opinion).

This is simple to make, once you gather all of the ingredients.  I purchased my oils online from Puritans Pride and Vitamin Shoppe. I purchased the other ingredients locally at Walmart and Walgreens.

Here's what I did:

Since essential oils should be stored in dark containers, I bought a spray bottle of peroxide (it's brown) and emptied and rinsed it out.  I added the following ingredients:

 1 cup Distilled Water
 1 cup Witch Hazel
 1 tsp Glycerin 
30 drops - Citronella Oil 
15 drops - Lemongrass Oil
15 drops- Cedar Oil

Next, shake it up and spray it on.  You're all set!
