Herbal Insect Repellent

1 part Eucalyptus essential oil

3 parts Citronella essential oil

1 part Lavender essential oil

8 parts Almond oil

1 part Pennyroyal essential oil (Optional; DO NOT use if pregnant)

Blend the oils and store in a bottle.  Try a test patch on your skin for an hour;  if irritation develops, discontinue.  Because the essential oils evaporate quickly, reapply the oil every 45 minutes.
