mosquito season skincare

5 oils · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2609


Tea tree and patchouli in equal parts, sharp green blending with warm earth; lavender and geranium soften it with florals; rosemary adds a sharp touch at the end. A scent meant for mixing into unscented lotion to apply to arms and legs before heading out at night. Dilute very low, under 1%, and patch test on your wrist 24 hours first; with sensitive skin, use a diffuser instead.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use mosquito season skincare in a diffuser?
Add Tea Tree 2 · Patchouli 2 · Lavender 1 · Geranium 1 · Rosemary 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of tea tree?
Swap tea tree for eucalyptus or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: eucalyptus is strong, cool and wide open.
When is the best time to use mosquito season skincare?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
