peel of one (1) lemon
Few things can disrupt the pleasantries of summer like a slew of itchy and unwelcome mosquito bites. If you prefer to try a natural way to keep the mosquitoes at bay, cut the peel off a lemon and then rub the essential oil from the outside (yellow side) on your skin.
Tip: If you fold a piece of peel between your thumb and forefingers (yellow side out) and give a gentle squeeze, the oils will be released. You’ll actually see a squirt and smell a strong lemon scent when that happens.
