Itching From Mosquito Bites? Try This New Hack!

No matter how regular you apply insect repellents, occasionally mosquitoes will still bite. Some of us are just more prone to being bitten by mosquitoes than others, if you know what i mean– It literally means you’ve got “tasty blood,” — If this is so, no doubt you’ll be familiar with the intense itching that comes with a fresh bite. Most times you can’t just help but ask the other fellow next to you, can you feel mosquito bites in here or is it just me? (Lol) Yes that happens often and it’s mostly inevitable.

Now the issue is not just about the bites but also the itching sensation which often comes with it. This itching happens when the affected skin (area) reacts to air, once that sensation occurs, you start to feel the urge to scratch because it’s actually itching you. After this, the skin is left with scars, and some hard to remove scars at that, for some sensitive skins.

Luckily, we’ve discovered a beauty hack that will cost you nothing and really reduce that desire to scratch that itching skin from mosquito bite. So to stop the itching, you need to block the flow of air to the bite. You can do this a number of ways: with a plaster or spray plaster, with sticky tape, even (temporarily) with a waxy or oily substance. There you go. Check out the picture below for a clew.

Ever noticed your bites itch less just after you’ve applied sunscreen? But one of the best and least visible ways to block off that bite is with a dab of clear nail polish! You should try that one too. Take a look.

It may sound weird, but I’ve tried it multiple times, and it really works. To do this, the skin must be unbroken, though. If you’ve scratched the top off the bite, leave it alone. The ingredients in the polish, plus the fact it’s been exposed to air and bacteria via the brush, may react to a sensitive skin.

You may need to remove and reapply the polish a few times as the bite heals depending on your skin type, but then, it’ll help that bite to heal quicker if you’ll be touching and scratching it less. And from a distance, nobody will notice your bites are shiny.

So next time that skin itches you, dap a bit of clear polish on your skin or put a bandage and see the itch stop instantly
