Mix baby oil with cloves and see what happens

A homemade recipe that’s as easy as can be

Ready to give it a try? Here’s how to make your own mosquito repellent oil in a few simple steps:

Ingredients :

• 35 ml baby oil (or, failing that, mild olive oil)
• 6 cloves
• A small dark glass bottle, preferably with a dropper cap

The procedure to follow:

1. Gently warm the oil in a  small saucepan  (without boiling it).
2. Add the cloves and let it steep until it returns to room temperature.
3. Then pour the mixture into the bottle and let it sit  for 10 to 15 days in a cool, dark place.
4. Strain the cloves… and your repellent is ready!

Apply a few drops to your arms, legs or ankles: not only will you be protected, but your skin will be soft and lightly scented.
