10 Gross Little Creatures That Love Your Skin — And How to Stop Them Naturally

10 Gross Little Creatures That Love Your Skin — And How to Stop Them Naturally

You’re radiant. Glowy. Magnetic.
Unfortunately, bugs agree. From mozzies to mites, your skin’s natural scent and warmth are like a dinner bell to dozens of clingy critters.

Here’s how to protect your body — and your vibe — with smart habits and plant-powered ingredients from Love Bites Only.

 1. Mosquitoes

Advice: Avoid dark clothing and apply repellent before dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
🌿 LBO Tip: Love Bites Only uses eucalyptus citriodora, which naturally masks the scent trails mosquitoes follow.

 2. Bed Bugs

Advice: Wash your sheets and pillowcases in hot water weekly — and vacuum your mattress regularly, especially after travel.
🌿 LBO Tip: Roll Love Bites Only onto ankles, neck, wrists and any exposed areas before bed — peppermint oil helps deter bed bugs with its strong, clean scent.

3. Spiders

Advice: Declutter corners, windowsills, and under the bed — spiders hate clean, open spaces.
🌿 LBO Tip: The crisp scent of peppermint oil in Love Bites Only disrupts their senses and keeps them moving along.

 4. Lice

Advice: Avoid sharing hats, hairbrushes, or headphones — especially while travelling or at festivals.
🌿 LBO Tip: Lightly roll Love Bites Only around your hairline — tea tree oil is known to deter lice and soothe irritated scalps.

 5. Fleas

Advice: Vacuum floors and pet bedding often — and bathe pets with natural flea-repelling shampoo.
🌿 LBO Tip: Love Bites Only’s combo of peppermint and tea tree creates a scent shield that keeps fleas off human skin, too.

 6. Sandflies

Advice: Cover exposed skin with light clothing when outdoors near sand or water.
🌿 LBO Tip: A swipe of Love Bites Only delivers eucalyptus citriodora, a botanical that sandflies can’t stand.

7. Midges & Gnats

Advice: Avoid floral-scented perfumes and lotions — they attract small flying bugs.
🌿 LBO Tip: Use Love Bites Only as your natural fragrance — peppermint and eucalyptus send midges packing.

8. No-See-Ums

Advice: Install fine mesh screens and avoid sitting outside at dawn or dusk without protection.
🌿 LBO Tip: Roll on Love Bites Only before stepping out — eucalyptus citriodora is one of the few oils proven to repel no-see-ums.

9. Ticks

Advice: Wear long sleeves and socks while walking through tall grass or bushland — and check your body after.
🌿 LBO Tip: Roll Love Bites Only on ankles, backs of knees, and waistband — peppermint oil disrupts tick sensors and helps keep them off you.

10. Scabies Mites

Advice: Scabies spreads through prolonged skin contact — wash bedding, towels, and clothes often when exposed.
🌿 LBO Tip: While medical treatment is essential, daily use of Love Bites Only with tea tree oil supports skin hygiene and barrier protection.
