What’s Bugging You?
Bug spray - smells bad, right? I thought so too, but lately I’ve been test driving Kiss my Face Sun SWAT - SPF 15 spray with essential oil bug repellent. After pulling weeds and hauling water in my garden, biking, and a family picnic, I can say I’m bug and sunburn free. The essential oils include citronella (naturally!) patchouli, cedarwood, juniper, tea tree, and lavender. It’s actually a decent, spicy bay rum scent that outdoorsy girls or boys wouldn’t turn up their noses at. I’ll keep you posted as to the true bug repellent power of this blend as the bug season really gets going. Also, the spray is cooling and not sticky or oily, and is waterproof for 40 minutes (you should reapply even the most waterproof sunscreens periodically, no more than 2 hours or so).
DEET and other chemicals might be a health concern that we should avoid if possible…but then again, so is West Nile Virus. Where do you draw the line between natural health and beneficial science/chemistry?
