Buzz Off Already!

Is it just me or have you been besieged by mosquitos these last few days as well? So itchy those blasted bites are! I thought I’d share my saving grace, which seems to have prevented me from scratching off all 7 layers of my poor mozzie bitten to bits skin. 100% pure lavender essential oil applied neat and firmly pressed with a cotton ball onto to the embattled area has helped to soothe my savaged skin considerably. It also acts as a very basic bug deterrent too, which is good. If you haven’t any lavender oil kicking about, pure Tea tree essential oil will do fabulously as well. Both essential oils can be applied neat to most skins without the dilution of a carrier oil unlike a majority of other essential oils which are too irritating to be applied directly to the skin. But do perform a wee skin patch test first though, just to be sure to be sure. Cool Bananas!
