1 ounce/28 grams Peppermint Essential Oil 3 ounces/85 grams rubbing alcohol mix together in a fine mist sprayer. Apply to arms and legs but do NOT use it on face, near eyes or on very small children. It is a strong mixture but very effective. Also, the alcohol evaporates making you cooler and the peppermint makes you smell good Always shake the bottle before using.
I've never made up a spray with peppermint oil before. I usually use citronella but will try the peppermint as anything that might keep midges away is fine by me. :-D
I'm sure that will smell better than 'Avon, Skin So Soft' that people were using (and maybe still) several years ago. Plus it made me itch! I'll try Dr. Toni's brew.
I've heard listerine works well too. Put it in a spray bottle and spray the area you'll be in and around yourself. Same thing dont get it in your eyes.
