Insect Repellent and Sun Protection

This is a difficult question to answer as there are so many different types of insects, and what works for one person might not work for another. There are a few things to consider when choosing an insect repellent, such as the type of insects you want to repel, the length of time you need the repellent to work, and whether you have any allergies. Some of the most popular insect repellents contain DEET, but there are also natural alternatives that can be just as effective.

There are a few smells that insects tend to avoid, such as citronella, eucalyptus, and lavender. You can find these ingredients in many insect repellents, candles, and soaps.

When it comes to sun protection, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best form of sun protection depends on your skin type, the amount of time you plan to spend in the sun, and whether you are using any other products (such as insect repellent). If you are fair-skinned or have a history of skin cancer, you should always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Using a water-proof sunscreen will also help to keep your skin protected for longer, and you won't have to worry about it washing off in the water.

The answer to this question is not clear-cut. SPF 30 sunscreen filters out 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 sunscreen filters out 98% of UVB rays. So, while SPF 50 sunscreen provides slightly more protection, it is not necessarily twice as effective as SPF 30 sunscreen. We recommend using sun protection with SPF 50 because it's always better to be safe than sorry.
