None of us like to get bitten by insects whether it’s when out walking, running or gardening, or when abroad on holiday. Insect bites are unsightly, itchy, sore, they can become infected, inflamed, and swollen. Prevention can be better than cure and there is certainly nothing lost by trying this approach.
Incognito is an award-winning, natural, Deet-free insect repellent. It is safe for your skin, the environment, for sensitive individuals and is just as powerful as Deet.
Incognito helps to keep bugs away without using any harmful chemicals. It is non-toxic and eco-friendly. It’s made with essential oils and is scientifically tested to be as effective as leading chemical repellents. It offers protection against mosquitoes, midges, ticks, horseflies, and fleas. These insects bite to feed on your blood. Sounds horrible! The bite triggers an immune response, which leads to inflammation and itching. So best to try to protect yourself from being bitten. Incognito works by altering your natural scent, making it harder for insects to detect you. It’s eco-friendly and ethical, vegan certified, biodegradable, making it perfect to use in protected eco-systems like the Amazon.
Simply spray on your ankles, wrists, behind the knees or ears, three to four times a day. Reapply after swimming, showering or excessive sweating. It is safe to use from 6 months old. For extra protection you can also spray on your clothes, backpacks and bedclothes especially when travelling. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and again at dusk.
If you do get bitten despite all your efforts to protect yourself, take a look at Incognito’s Zap Ease Instant Bite Relief. It is a simple gadget that you use when bitten. It reduces itching and helps to reduce the urge to scratch. I don’t go anywhere without these two products. I do not want to be bitten!
As well as using Incognito Insect Repellent Spray many people will take vitamin B1 and garlic before and during the holiday for extra protection in high-risk areas. B1 is considered to be a natural insect repellent as it can make your skin less attractive to biting insects. Studies suggest that B1 creates an odour that repels insects like mosquitoes. The sulphur compounds in garlic, especially allicin, are believed to create a smell that repels mosquitoes and other insects.
Happy, safe, insect-free life!
