2. Lavender
I love the smell of lavender because it mostly resembles a lot of childhood memories, but also because of its fresh smell. But I never knew that it was also a great mosquito repellent because the fragrance and the oil of crushed lavender flowers can help keep the insects away.
Moreover, lavender has awesome antiseptic and antifungal properties, which means it will also soothe your skin while protecting you from mosquito bites. If you are looking for a natural repellent against them, lavender is the solution because, compared to other toxic repellents, it won’t cause any harm to you or to the environment.
Use some lavender oil directly on the itchy area right after the bite or before you go out on the sensitive areas such as ankles, necks, and arms. Don’t worry about using it even if you’re dealing with sensitive skin issues. Being a natural ingredient, it won’t cause you any rashes.
