Q. What are some natural ways to repel mosquitoes? A.

Jojoba oil was found to be very similar but even more effective. Jojoba oil is a type of wax that is produced as a liquid at room temperature. The ‘oil’ has similar chemical structure to the sebum oil that our skin produces naturally which makes it highly absorbable. When used on the skin forms a very thin, non-greasy lipoid layer. The oil is excellent for people who suffer from sensitive skin conditions, including psoriasis and eczema. It aids in softening the skin and when applied to the hair will increase its shine. It also significantly reduces trans-epidermal water loss, without totally blocking the transpiration of gases
