Did you know that Lavender naturally repels mosquitoes? I have to admit I did not know that until recently. Here are two products that smell fantastic and will end the bug bite blues.

Organic Lavender Sunscreen SPF 30
Not only does it smell like a dream (and the lavender naturally repels insects) but it absorbs instantly with no white residue and it contains skin softeners, antioxidants, and lovely ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and green tea.

Lavender Mosquito Repellent Towelettes
Indispensable for outdoor summer evenings, these towelettes cleanse the skin, repel mosquitoes and soothe itching. The formula is enriched in naturally repelling essential oils – A.O.C Lavender to calm and purify the skin, Citronella and Geranium. Just pop a pack into your picnic basket or handbag when going out in the evening.
