Summer is here and it’s the time for thinking about our holidays. But this time of the year whether at home or abroad we will have a variety of insects that bite, including midges, ticks, and mosquitos. The last thing we want is to be bitten by these insects. Thankfully there is a natural solution to help protect us. Incognito Insect Repellent Spray, is scientifically formulated and clinically tested with good protection for up to 7 hours, although I would re-spray every four hours myself. I do not want to be bitten especially by any of these insects. It does not contain any deet and is certified by the Soil Association as 100% natural. I love that it can used for all the family including young babies from 6 months onwards. You can use it for any outdoor activity at home or abroad and is also recommended for high-risk areas to protect against mosquito-borne diseases.
Incognito repels mosquitoes, midges, ticks, sand flies, land leeches, black flies, and stable flies. I use it regularly especially when I am out and about in forest areas. And I have it with me for the sunny holidays too.
Garlic and Vitamin B1 have traditionally been taken to protect against mosquito bites. If you are prone to being bitten or if you are going to a high-risk area, I would take these too, for extra protection. Garlic may also support your immunity and is a natural antibiotic so no harm in taking this as an extra. You could eat a couple of cloves a day before and during travel or take it in supplement form.
If you are worried about getting an upset tummy while abroad, take a look at Optibac Travel Abroad. It is formulated for travel and contains Saccharomyces boulardii. It is advised to take it for 3-5 days before travel and while you are away.
If you are prone to skin irritation while in the sun, nettle is a natural antihistamine that many customers take to prevent this unsightly rash. Or take a look a natural sunscreens like Green People as they do not tend to cause skin rashes. And bring some Aloe Vera Gel to apply to cool down sun blushed skin.
Hopefully these tips will help ensure a happy holiday!
