Your Summer Essentials: Complete Natural Protection in 3 Simple Steps
Summer brings sunshine, getaways, and more time outside — but also mosquitoes, ticks, and midges. Fortunately, staying naturally protected is simple with incognito®’s trusted 3-step method. Plus, there’s a special offer for Tisserand readers at the end of this blog – keep reading to find out how to claim it.
Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and chikungunya are now endemic in parts of Europe, and West Nile Virus has recently been detected in UK mosquitoes. Ticks are also on the rise, with cases of Lyme disease confirmed this May in popular walking areas such as the New Forest and Hampshire/Dorset borders.
Whether you’re travelling abroad or exploring closer to home, here’s how to protect yourself naturally with incognito®’s award-winning, DEET-free range – clinically proven protection by the UK’s #1 natural insect repellent brand*.
The 3-Step Protection Method
Like Tisserand, we believe in a holistic approach to wellbeing, particularly when it comes to insect protection – and it starts well before you spray.
Step 1: Body Care
Most regular cosmetics can attract insects. Our citronella-based Hair & Body Wash, Soap, Moisturiser, and Loofah create a base layer of protection — ideal for daily use or 1–2 weeks before entering high-risk areas.
Step 2: Insect Repellent
Reapply every 4 hours for 100% protection**, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Our everyday essentials include the Insect Repellent Spray, Roll-On, Lotion, and Sunblock SPF30 – all DEET-free and clinically proven. For families, we also offer Kids Insect Repellent Spray (suitable for sensitive skin) and our NEW lightweight, wooden bead Insect Repellent Bracelets (available in small, medium and large).
Step 3: Ambient Protection
Use Room Refreshers, Incense Sticks, and Java Citronella Oil to keep your space clear of insects — especially helpful at night or in enclosed spaces. You can also rinse clothing in our citronella oil to create a natural shield.
The C.L.O.A.K. Method
For added protection, remember the C.L.O.A.K. guide:
- C – Cover up. Wear long sleeves and trousers to protect your skin.
- L – Light and loose. Leave strong perfumes and dark colours behind. Mosquitoes are drawn to dark colours and sweet scents.
- O – Odour Control. Some bodily odours and scented products attract insects. Wash with an unscented or citrus product like our Hair & Body Wash morning and night. Use a natural loofah every other day to deep clean your pores.
- A – Apply Repellent. Use incognito® insect repellent spray, roll-on, lotion, or sunblock on exposed skin. Reapply every 4–5 hours or as needed.
- K – Keep Them Out. Use incognito®’s Room Refresher or Incense Sticks to keep mosquitoes out of your space. Eliminate nearby stagnant water, as mosquitoes can breed in as little as five days.
