BY NATURE Handmade Soaps

Summer’s here and it’s the season when all pesky insects come out, too. So what’s the best way to protect yourself and your kids when you’re out? Well, wearing shirts with long sleeves and pants would give the best protection, but doing so isn’t really a good idea during the summer. In this time of the year, the more skin exposed, the better!

Another option would be applying insect repellent on a regular basis, especially when outdoors. But with all the chemicals they contain, it’s not so safe to be applying them on the skin at all.

That’s why I came up with an insect-repelling soap called No Bites Bar. It’s no different from my other handmade soaps that keep your skin clean and moisturized after every bath. It can even be used as a facial soap because it has chamomile extract and oatmeal. And the best part is it’s 100% NATURAL!

But how does it work as an insect repellent? Well, the scent of the essential oils that stay on your skin should repel insects for some time. But, like any other insect repellent, one should re-apply for continued protection. So what you can do, instead of taking a shower again, is simply make a little lather with No Bites Bar and apply it directly on your skin, just like you would with lotion, and leave it on to dry. I’ve tried it myself and it initially keeps the skin cool.

Don’t worry about the lather causing the skin to become dry (which other soaps could) because No Bites Bar is made with really moisturizing ingredients. Your skin won’t feel sticky, too, as long as you’re not perspiring. But once you do, that’s a different story since it’s soap after all

By the way, I will be introducing my Moisturizing Insect Repellent along with my other new products soon, so please keep checking my websites from time to time. These products are all 100% NATURAL and I specially concocted them for our two (2) sons. I came up with these products late last year and early this year and have been using them on both DL1 and DL2 while observing their skin’s reaction. Aside from DL1 loving the scents (he would often say, “Smells good, mom!” while sniffing them), these products have helped with their dry skin, due to their atopic dermatitis or eczema (they have the dry type). We also recently found out that my husband actually has atopic dermatitis himself! No wonder both our boys have them. Yup, my side has asthma of the skin, too.

There’s actually no way to cure them of their atopic dermatitis because it’s a condition that is normally outgrown (if they’re lucky), but I’m very happy that I can make and use all-natural products to manage their skin condition
