What You’ll Need:

Remember to reapply the repellent every few hours or as needed, especially after sweating or swimming. Now revel in your outdoor activities without the annoyance of pesky bugs. Try this homemade repellent and embrace the natural power of insect protection. Stay bug-free and happy exploring!
