A Summer Tip for Environmentally Sensitive Skin
Let’s face it, the only thing worse than getting bitten by mosquitoes is putting on bug spray that doesn't feel that safe to your health.
I recently discovered a great natural alternative that works well: Tiger Balm.
Tiger Balm, found in drugstores near the muscle relaxers, works great for arthritis and rheumatism, muscle and joint pains, neck and back pain, tired feet, sprains, massages, and a warm up rub prior to exercising. But now another claim can be added to that list. This natural blend of essential oils like camphor, menthol, and clove bud oil keep the mosquitoes away in a similar way to citronella candles.
How to use it:
Tiger Balm comes in a tiny package, but you'll be amazed by how long it lasts. A little goes a very long way. Dabbing it on your ankles, wrists, neck, and inner elbows before going outside should keep mosquitoes away from your entire body. And it stops the itching from bites you may already have, too!
If you don't have Tiger Balm on hand, other menthol/camphor rubs and ointments like Vick's VapoRub and Watkins Menthol Camphor Ointment will work just as well.
