Homemade Bug Spray Recipe
Rinse out an old Element Spray Bottle, or use any spray bottle.
- Mix 2 full droppers (about 1/2 tsp) Eucalyptus Oil
- 2 full droppers Lemongrass Oil
- 2 full droppers Citronella Oil
- few drops of Cinnamon Essential Oil!
- Mix with 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup witch hazel. We like to add a little bit of glycerin to give it holding power, but if you don't have any, then you can leave it out.
Directions: Spray & rub on before going outside. Avoid the eyes, and spray on your hand and rub on your face.
