Lemongrass
Lemongrass works as an effective mosquito repellent. This pleasant smelling herb contains natural citronella oil that repels mosquitoes.
Break off a lemongrass stalk and peel off the outer leaves. Rub the pulp on your skin to help repel mosquitoes.
Another option is to fill a spray bottle with 4 ounces of witch hazel. Add 1 teaspoon each of eucalyptus and lemongrass essential oils. Shake it vigorously and spray it on your exposed skin every few hours.
