Camping Bug Repellent & Sun Protection

<p>
There are plenty of things to do to repel common camping bugs, like mosquitoes, midges, ticks, and more.

<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
When choosing an insect repellent, <strong>consider the type of insects you want to repel</strong>, the length of time the repellent needs to work, and whether you have any allergies.
</p>
<p>
Some of the most popular insect repellents contain<strong> <a href="https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-deet-bad-for-you-and-your-kids">DEET</a></strong>, but natural alternatives can be just as effective.
</p>

<p>
There are a few smells that insects tend to avoid, such as <strong><a href="https://www.woodtowater.co.uk/products/prices-citronella-tealights-x25-insect-repellent">citronella</a>, eucalyptus, and lavender</strong>. You can find these ingredients in many insect repellents, candles, and soaps.
</p>

<p>
When it comes to sun protection, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best form of sun protection <strong>depends on your skin type, the amount of time you plan to spend in the sun, and whether you are using any other products</strong> (<em>such as insect repellent</em>).
</p>
<p>
If you are fair-skinned or have a history of skin cancer, you should<strong> always use <a href="https://www.woodtowater.co.uk/products/care-plus-outdoor-sea-spf-50">sunscreen</a> with an SPF of 30 or higher</strong>.
</p>
<p>
Using a waterproof 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.
</p>

<p>
The answer to this question is not clear-cut. SPF 30 sunscreen filters out <strong>97% of UVB rays</strong>, while SPF 50 sunscreen filters out <strong>98%</strong>.
</p>
<p>
So, while SPF 50 sunscreen provides slightly more protection, it is not necessarily twice as effective as SPF 30 sunscreen.
</p>
<p>
<strong>We recommend using <a href="https://www.woodtowater.co.uk/products/care-plus-outdoor-sea-spf-50">sun protection with SPF 50</a>, </strong>because it's always better to be safe than sorry.
