Mosquitoes and Ticks: The Complete Guide to Natural Remedies and Skin Protection in Summer
Summer means freedom, outdoor living, and shared moments. It’s the time for sunset walks, mountain hikes, terrace aperitifs, and garden dinners. Yet, punctual and inevitable, they also arrive: mosquitoes and ticks, the unwanted guests that threaten the peace of our outdoor moments every year.
Why bites are more than just a nuisance
Mosquito bites may seem trivial, but they often cause persistent itching, skin irritation, and in sensitive individuals, allergic reactions. There is also a significant risk of transmitting diseases like West Nile fever, Dengue, or the Zika virus.Ticks attach silently, spreading serious illnesses like Lyme disease or rickettsiosis.
It’s not just temporary discomfort: a bite can spoil an entire holiday, an important evening, or simply sleep quality.
Natural remedies: effective, but with limits
To avoid harsh chemicals, many rely on natural remedies, often from traditional practices.
Essential oils – citronella, lavender, geranium, eucalyptus, tea tree – are popular, as are aromatic plants (basil, mint, lemongrass) and DIY sprays with vinegar and lemon.
Yet despite their natural appeal, these methods offer limited efficacy and not always adequate protection, especially outdoors, at dusk, or in wooded areas.
Traditional repellents: protection with drawbacks
When homemade solutions fail, many use commercial repellents containing DEET or icaridin. They are undeniably effective, but come with drawbacks: they often feel oily, leave the skin sticky, and have a strong, unpleasant smell.
Prolonged use on sensitive skin or around children can lead to irritation, dryness, and inhalation discomfort.
Many need a full shower and moisturizer after a “protected” evening – a demanding and unsustainable routine.
The modern solution: effective, natural, and pleasant
Real innovation lies in next-generation cosmetic formulas combining scientific effectiveness, natural ingredients, and sensory enjoyment.
A prime example is Skin Defence Active Protection, a protective barrier cream against mosquitoes and ticks, formulated with a patented 100% plant-based active ingredient: Cymbopogon winterianus essential oil, known for its natural repellent properties and excellent skin tolerance.
This cream provides up to 4 hours of effective protection, absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue, and delivers a refreshing, moisturizing effect, ideal even for sensitive skin. All with a light, pleasant fragrance unlike conventional products.
A dermatologically advanced formula with no compromises
Unlike industrial repellents, Skin Defence Active Protection contains no pesticides, no DEET, no parabens, silicones, microplastics, or petroleum derivatives.
It respects the environment and helps keep skin healthy, even in critical months.

In summary
The key is to choose an effective yet respectful product that combines science, nature and beauty in one.
