UV rays aren't the only enemy of summer skin!

Summer is full of fun events like camping, barbecues, beer gardens and fireworks festivals.

When it's hot, we tend to go out wearing light clothing.
The troublesome thing at times like these is mosquito bites.

If the itching continues and you end up scratching your skin, in severe cases the skin can become damaged and infected, or pigmented, leaving a scar.
Even if you take proper precautions against mosquito bites, there are probably many people who get bitten at some point!

Who is more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes?
〇 Sweating 〇 Drinking alcohol 〇 High body temperature 〇 Wearing perfume 〇 Smelly feet 〇 Type O blood

What can you do to prevent mosquito bites?
- Wear long sleeves and long pants to limit skin exposure. - They prefer dark colors such as black and navy, so choose lighter clothing such as white or yellow. - Use insect repellent spray and mosquito coils. - If indoors, make sure to close the screens tightly to prevent mosquitoes from entering the room.
* Eliminate puddles to prevent the breeding of mosquito larvae

What if you still get stung?
〇 Wash with soap 〇 Do not scratch 〇 Cool the affected area 〇 Apply insect bite medicine

◆ Insect repellent recommended for those with sensitive skin or who prefer natural products
For those who are concerned about the harshness of commercially available strong chemical-based products that can be harsh on the skin and the environmental impact, we recommend insect repellent sprays made with natural herbs that have scents that mosquitoes dislike, such as lemongrass, citronella, and mint.
Planting herbs on your balcony or in your garden can also help keep mosquitoes away.

We also recommend balms and oils made from the herb tea tree, which not only has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties but also regulates the immune system and relieves itching.

There are many organic insect repellent sprays on the market these days, but making your own is safer and more reliable.
Herbs are hardy and relatively easy to grow.
Aside from repelling insects, it is also versatile and can be used in cooking.
It would be nice to try growing it on this occasion.

Enjoy a less itchy summer with the right mosquito bite prevention measures for you!
