At first glance it may seem easier to simply buy bug spray. But here’s my case for DIY bug spray and making it on your own.
-If you have sensitive skin, these ingredients may help soothe skin instead of irritate it.
-You can make a HUGE batch and it cuts the cost considerably.
-You don’t have to deal with the undesirable smell traditional bug sprays leave behind, not to mention the sticky residue.
-And finally, because making your own anything makes you feel kinda fabulous, even if it’s bug spray!
