Get Ready for Summer Holidays with doTERRA TerraArmour Essential Oil

As summer holidays approach, many of us are looking forward to spending time outdoors, whether it’s at the beach, on a camping trip, or having backyard barbecues with family and friends. However, summer fun often comes with unwanted companions: insects. doTERRA’s TerraArmour essential oil blend offers a natural, effective way to enjoy the outdoors without being bothered by mosquitoes, flies, or other pests. Here’s why TerraArmour is a must-have for summer and how to incorporate it into your holiday plans.

What is TerraArmour?

TerraArmour (also known as doTERRA Outdoor Blend) is a unique blend of essential oils, including Citronella, Lemongrass, Thyme, Cedarwood, Geranium, and Peppermint. Together, these oils are known for their insect-repelling properties, making this blend ideal for deterring pesky bugs naturally without harsh chemicals. With a fresh, woody aroma, TerraArmour is suitable for all outdoor environments and can be used safely around the whole family.

Why TerraArmour is Perfect for Australian Summers

In Australia, the warm summer weather brings increased insect activity, especially mosquitoes. TerraArmour’s all-natural ingredients work to repel these insects, letting you enjoy the outdoors without concern. Unlike synthetic repellents, this blend is free from DEET and other chemicals, making it a safer choice for both you and the environment. It’s also easy to pack, making it a convenient option for beach days, hiking trips, or backyard gatherings.

Ways to Use TerraArmour During the Summer Holidays

Apply Directly to Skin

For personal protection, dilute TerraArmour with a carrier oil (such as Fractionated Coconut Oil) and apply it to exposed areas of skin. The blend can be applied to pulse points, wrists, and ankles for maximum coverage.

Create a DIY Outdoor Spray

Mix 10–15 drops of TerraArmour with water in a spray bottle for a quick, effective insect spray. Use this to mist outdoor seating areas, picnic blankets, or around doors and windows to deter insects from entering your space.

Diffuse Outdoors

If you’re relaxing on the deck or having a barbecue, consider diffusing TerraArmour using a portable diffuser. The fresh aroma not only keeps bugs away but also adds a pleasant fragrance to your gathering.

Add to Sunscreen or Lotion

Blend a few drops of TerraArmour with your favourite sunscreen or moisturiser to add an extra layer of insect protection. Just ensure it’s properly diluted to avoid skin sensitivity.

Protect Your Campsite

When camping, apply TerraArmour to the edges of your tent, sleeping bags, and camping gear to create a natural insect barrier around your site. This keeps bugs out of sleeping areas without the use of chemical sprays.

Tips for Using TerraArmour Safely

• Dilute for Sensitive Skin: Always dilute TerraArmour with a carrier oil, especially if applying it to children or individuals with sensitive skin.
• Avoid Sun Exposure with Citrus Oils: Although TerraArmour is safe for outdoor use, it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure on areas where it’s applied, as certain citrus oils can increase photosensitivity.
• Store Away from Sunlight and Heat: Essential oils can degrade with excessive heat, so store TerraArmour in a cool, dark place to maintain its effectiveness throughout the summer.

Final Thoughts

Heading into summer, doTERRA’s TerraArmour blend is a simple, natural way to enjoy the outdoors without the nuisance of insects. Whether you’re spending time in the backyard, on a bushwalk, or by the beach, this versatile blend will have you covered. With TerraArmour, you can make the most of your summer holidays in Australia with peace of mind, knowing you’re protected by nature’s own defences.
