Nia Kiesow, Media Coordinator, And Her Natural Bug Repellent

An Unusual Way To Repel Bugs

When we saw Nia Kiesow in Union Square, her glowing skin stopped us dead in our tracks. Her sun-kissed complexion was not only radiant, but it also looked extremely healthy, prompting us to ask questions about her beauty routine.

"Coconut oil is my favorite. I use it for everything. Tanning, moisturizing and whatever you have left on your hands, you can rub into the ends of your hair," the media coordinator told us.

Kiesow's go-to body oil also works as a natural bug repellent. "Coconut oil and a little bit of tea tree oil will keep mosquitoes away because they can't penetrate the oil to bite you." We've got to try this.
