Summer is a time for picnics and walks, but it is often marred by mosquitoes and other biting insects. Fortunately, there are effective protective solutions available today.
A cozy evening on the terrace, fresh air from an open window, a picnic in the park or a walk by the river and... that annoying buzzing: mosquitoes are already here! These insects detect us unmistakably by body heat, skin scent and the carbon dioxide we exhale, and they navigate well even at dusk. Their bites leave itching and swelling that can spoil any pleasure. But the good news is that proper prevention will easily free you from this nuisance — and you can truly relax.
Special products — repellents — contain ingredients whose smell insects cannot tolerate. Humans barely notice these scents, but for mosquitoes, midges, horseflies and ticks they become an insurmountable barrier.
When applied to the skin or clothing, the product creates an invisible protective zone around the person. The higher the concentration of the active ingredient (for example, DEET), the longer the effect lasts. Such formulations do not kill insects but repel them — making them keep a safe distance.
Before bites — prevention with aerosol repellents.
The products «Reftamid Maximum» (30% DEET) and «Reftamid Extreme» (40% DEET) protect exposed skin for more than 4 hours. After treating clothing the effect lasts up to 30 days against mosquitoes, biting midges, sandflies, horseflies and fleas. Protection against ticks lasts for 5 days when fabric is treated. The second option is suitable for places with a higher number of insects (outdoor recreation near water, etc.).
The insectoacaricide «Reftamid Extra Anti-tick» protects against ticks for up to 15 days. This product actually kills ticks. It is most effective when applied to an anti-encephalitis suit approved by specialists of the Institute of Disinfectology of the Federal Research Center for Hygiene named after F.F. Erisman (Rospotrebnadzor) (EXPEDITION LUX suit).
Important:
• The product is applied only to the suit.
• When treating the suit, pay special attention to folds and creases that act as traps.
• After washing, the suit should be treated again.
After bites from mosquitoes and other insects — aid for rapid skin recovery.
The cream «Pantevit» contains a balanced complex of active ingredients: panthenol and allantoin for tissue regeneration, aloe vera extract (moisturizing and softening), chamomile (anti-inflammatory) and calendula (antiseptic), shea butter (deep nourishment), vitamins E and C (antioxidant protection), as well as the antioxidant RonaCare® AP, which enhances the skin's protective properties. The product is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy residue. Does not contain parabens, silicones or dyes. Suitable for the face, hands and the whole body.
Summer is a time for adventures, not for fighting insects! An aerosol repellent creates a reliable barrier and prevents bites, while a restorative cream comes to the rescue if needed — quickly relieving itching and irritation. It's enough to have both products on hand to relax outdoors with peace of mind.
