The Natural Bug Bite Remedy I Can Take On the Go If you're anything like me, you know summertime equals barbecues and bonfires, sure, but also painful, itchy bug bites. Whether I'm ridiculously sweet, or there's something irresistible about my O-negative blood, I'll never know. What I do know is, scratching my skin raw is never a good idea (hello scars!) And taking antihistamines is an acceptable option only at bedtime, since they leave me near-comatose. Thankfully, I recently found Badger After-Bug Balm Bug Bite Itch Relief Stick, $6.99, and I'm so glad that I did.
The list of natural and organic ingredients immediately drew me in, but I stayed for its comforting qualities. The bug bite balm glides on smoothly and nourishes skin, thanks to a blend of lavender, coconut, castor and sunflower seed oils. Colloidal oatmeal and a cooling combo of menthol, eucalyptus, peppermint and tea tree oils soothe the bite on contact. I've tried just about every itch relief product on the market -- they either smell not-so-great or leave me scratching soon after applying. Thanks to Badger After-Bug Balm, instead of smelling like a bunch of chemicals, I'm left with the spa-like scent of lavender and mint and can go about my day itch free. Needless to say, this girl will be enjoying a lot more outdoor adventures this summer!
