March 24, 2022

Winters are gone and those lethal, cold-blooded tiny mosquitoes are back to their duty.

Why Do You Need Homemade Mosquito Repellents?

The chemical repellents available in the market are too expensive. Everyone needs to have a repellent with him or her whether a kid or an adult. So, it becomes big-priced for families. So, homemade mosquito repellents can be an economical option. Also, the chemical repellents are not suitable for all skin types. They may cause irritation to the skin.

Peppermint Oil And Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a mild oil that works wonders for skin conditions along with working as a potential mosquito repellent. While peppermint is a strongly effective essential oil to keep these tiny creatures at a bay because it contains elements like menthol and limestone.
