Lemongrass for ticks: a chic homemade spray & stick that you mix in five minutes

Lemongrass for ticks? Lemongrass (Cymbopogon) is the friend you invite for energy and for perfume. Its aromatic freshness is reminiscent of lemon with a grassy sharpness - cool enough to wear as a summer toilet spray, and "decisive" enough to put ticks off. In lifestyle translation: the fragrance alone makes half the mood, the other half is the routine - where, how much and how often to apply.

Mini ritual before a walk

Security and reality (cool, but no illusions)

• Clothes spray is for textile, not for face, hands or pets.
• Essential oils are natural, but they can be irritating – especially to sensitive skin. Always patch test.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
• Cats and essential oils are not a dream team – do not spray on animals or their equipment.
• Lemongrass smells divine, but don't expect 8-hour magic. For marathon It is also advisable to use standardized repellent and long sleeves during excursions.
• After each trip: shower and checkup skin. This is the most chic habit of the summer.

Upgrade tricks for “fragrance longevity”

• Use it amber glass and keeps the mixture in the shade – the aroma remains more stable.
• Don't overdo the water in the spray: more alcohol means better dispersion and fewer stains.
• In the summer, treat yourself to "layering": spray lemongrass on your clothes and your favorite perfume on your skin - first the repellent, then the perfume a few minutes later, so they don't clash.

Quick replies (to save scrolling)

• How often do I refresh? When the smell fades – approximately in an hour to an hour and a half.
• Can I use citronella instead of lemongrass? You can, but let's stick to the topic – lemongrass has a very clean, sunny scent that clothes love.
• Does it leave stains? Test on a hidden area of the fabric; light-colored silks and wools should not be sprayed.

Conclusion: natural, useful, wearable

Lemongrass is that easy summer blazer: it makes an impression, it's easy to wear, and it's the answer when you need a little extra. Spray on clothes + roll-on on skin + a little healthy routine = a drama-free walk. Grab a bottle, mix, shake – and go. Or buy a pre-made spray, like all-natural Bubble Bite at this link.
