I'd wash them with citronella scented prodects or use rose geranium to repel them. I've found that the most helpful as I work outside 90% of the year in southern Virginia. I've also invested in Insect Shield Co. to treat my clothing and a bandana to wear under my hat. It's amazing what the permethrin treatment has done and how few ticks are still brave enough to jump on me.
These are extreme measures but braid or pull their hair back and high and put some deet on their neck and that should also help.
As for getting them off when they're latched, I have no real tips other than try your best and a doctor's visit wouldn't hurt too. Be cautious of ALL the tick borne illnesses, not just lyme.

Can’t say I’ve had success from using essential oils. I seem to have at least halted my hair loss with my efforts which are many and have included essential oils. But the brand Now Foods makes high quality products. They’re sold on amazon or at Whole Foods which is now owned by amazon incidentally. Here’s a link to [peppermint oil](Now Peppermint Essential Oil, 4-Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GMFWXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zUtLDbC38SFHM). They also have an organic option which is obviously more expensive. Make sure to use a carrier oil when applying them to scalp.
Grapeseed Oil and Jojoba Oil. I mix about a quarter-sized puddle of jojoba, and add a nickle sized puddle of grapeseed. I rub it all over my face, then remove the makeup and oil with a hot, wet rag.
Pros:
Cons:
This is the best way I've found of cleansing my face and removing my makeup at the same time. My skin is much better overall for it. I like it much better than wipes, which was what I used previous. I'm one of those weirdos that must remove all traces of makeup before bed. No raccoon eyes for me in the morning!
For my (future) sub ohm mech modders out there. Here is a quality setup that will allow you to rebuild to your heart's delight. I recommend a minimum of 4 batteries.
optional
The First case is small, but would hold a few cartos/clearos and a few bottles of juice.
The Second case looks to be ideal for a long trip, or to keep in the car/office/house.
The Third case is a little larger than the first and looks like it would accomodate the same as above, plus a charger and a couple of 650s or eGo batteries.
If you can't tell, these are cases used for Essential Oils in aromatherapy. They hold bottles between 5ml and 15ml. Practically made for juice!
This essential oil is amazing! It's comparable in quality to Thieves from Young Living or OnGard from DoTerra, but at a fraction of the cost (a bottle of those will run you around $50). It's great for this time of year if you're prone to colds and coughs, AND it smells super yummy. It's a great winter/holiday scent!
Most Vitamin E oil is mixed with other things - i've used a ton of brands over the last decade of lobe stretching and the biggest difference i have noticed is that usually the stuff that comes in a bottle is thinner/easier to apply than breaking open the little capsules. I think right now i have this bottle
http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Vitamin-Beauty-9000IU-Ounces/dp/B00014GBZ8/ref=sr_1_15?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1375477681&sr=1-15&keywords=vitamin+e+oil+for+skin
That said - if you are trying to heal scars (not earlobes) you might have better results with something like mederma or scargo. I was introduced to mederma because my aunt used it on her implant scars and she recommended it. Also taking vitamin e and zinc orally (whatever the daily recommend is) can help your body to build new cells and break down old ones...good luck.
Here is a url. There's no visible brand name on the bottle.
I think frankincense was widely used because it was valuable in the ancient world and thus a considerable sacrifice in the old days, but you can easily order it online which is easier than offering him barley and cakes (which were also used as offerings to apollo).

I also posted to /r/beards (hey, maybe we can liven up this sub), here's my comment with the inventory:
I already plan to expand by getting a couple other carrier oils to balance out the jojoba—particularly either some grape seed or avocado oil and perhaps some Vitamin E.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Suggestions?
Try using wildman instead of blue beards stuff.
I ordered both on amazon and tried them out. Wildman I think is much better.
As far as the ingrown hair, I only offer advice found on webmd. See if you can cut just that one hair, let it die and hopefully fall out. If that doesn't work, maybe it is time to go see a doc, just tell him under no circumstances can he shave your beard and he is going to have to work around it.
Also, a picture would be appreciated, for science.
You're welcome. You know: I love how it feels, too. So creamy! I've heard other people on this sub say they hate the smell of rosehip oil. Not me! It smells toasty and warm to me. Plus, the brand I use is a pretty gold/amber color.
Maybe vitamin E oil? I use it for my acne scars sometimes. This is the one I use. http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Vitamin-Beauty-9000IU-Ounces/dp/B00014GBZ8
I just put some on my wrists when he starts getting nippy
https://smile.amazon.com/NOW-Peppermint-Essential-Oil-4-Ounce/dp/B005GMFWXW/
some also have anti inflammatory and anti cancer effects too. You can treat arthritis with this stuff
https://www.amazon.com/Fighter-Synergy-Essential-Undiluted-Therapeutic/dp/B005VSXTMM
Actually I buy mine online! [This] (http://www.amazon.com/Aura-Cacia-Natural-Harmonizing-Grapeseed/dp/B0001TPRJE/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1422457134&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=aura+cacia+grapeseed) is the exact one I use and this big bottle has been lasting me forever.
I think oil cleansing and moisturizing have both helped my oily skin, but I still get greasy on my nose and forehead. If you wear makeup, my best tip for oily skin it to apply a loose powder before your foundation, and then another application of powder after foundation (people often call this the Wayne Goss method if you want to read more about it). I like Ben Nye Translucent Loose Powder and Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation for my oily skin. I still blot about twice a day, but it's not as crazy as it used to be.
I believe it was this one. It wasn’t recommended to me, but i bought it because it said it was therapeutic grade. Again, don’t forget to dilute it with water!
MAJESTIC PURE Tea Tree Oil - Pure and Natural Therapeutic Grade Tea Tree Essential Oil - Melaleuca Alternifolia - 4 fl oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JD9FS28/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Q9.0DbAGWTPSE
I've been buying 4oz bottles ( a little over 100ml ) from amazon and so far everything is good. I used this peppermint oil :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OEIBJRW/
My peppermint soap won't be done curing until this weekend, but it has a good scent! My CP recipe was around 45% olive oil, 29% coconut oil, 22% palm oil, and 2% shea butter.
Add this maybe?
like this one!. While I have bought peppermint oil and lavender for scenting homemade beauty products, I'm not sure I want to know what frankincense smells like.
Hey all!
Issue: Acne
Skin type: Sensitive/dry
Current routine:
Morning:
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Mattifying Toner
It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizing Cream
Hada Labo UV Creamy Gel SPF 50
Evening:
Castor Oil + Sweet Almond Oil (a la http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com) 3-4 nights a week, the CeraVe Hydrating cleanser on the non-OCM nights
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion on OCM nights, CeraVe SA Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin on non-OCM nights
Occasionally used:
ReShape+ Dark Spot Corrector Cream
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
Length: I've been using this routine for roughly a month, the newest things I've added are the It Cosmetics moisturizer and the OCM. I know with the OCM they say your skin gets worse before it can get better and to do it consistently for 3 weeks for results but I feel like I've done it that long and my cheeks and around my mouth are still red and bumpy.
Other facts: I'm in the process of decreasing the amount of fast food and greasy food I eat, which is a lot right now but hopefully soon will be none. I think that will clear up my skin a little bit but I feel like poor diet isn't the only thing causing this. With the routine I currently have the bumps on my face tend to go away for a day or two but the redness persists and then the actual bumps return.
Location: Southern California
Any advice/suggestions are welcome; thank you for reading my post!
Edit: https://imgur.com/a/8bVpE, thought I attached a pic of each side of my face, whoops!
For the avocado oil, I use the brand Olivado. You can usually find this one in the grocery store where all the regular cooking and olive oils are.
I like using the sweet almond oil the best from Aura Cacia. I believe this brand has an avocado oil also. This brand's oils are usually in the skin care aisle of the organic/natural section of grocery stores. If you can't find it there, the brand may also be at a local health food/organic store!
the cheapest item in my wish list is sweet orange oil for $2.50. I need it because I like to make my own products like hand lotion, detergent etc.

Late to the party but I wanted to chime in cause I'm on the second month of my second round of Accutane, currently at 60mg.
Basically your skin profile will change to sensitive, dry and dehydrated and you have to treat it as such, which means a lot of pampering for the next couple of months. I took the general advice of nothing but CeraVe and Aquaphor for my first course and I think I did more damage that way. I switched over to r/AsianBeauty afterwards trying to fix the leftover scars and because of all I've learned over there, my second round is going quite smoothly.
Here's what I do:
I only do the oil & foam cleanse at night, usually just water in the morning. With this routine I've actually been able to use a couple actives with no problems, mainly Stridex in the red box every other day at the beginning to calm my initial breakout.Another trick I use is I apply a thin layer of Prosacea to affected areas. You can get these two at a CVS or Walgreens. Also, I'm a picker and I found that if I pick and pop something, this routine plus a hydrocolloid bandage on top works miracles: the zit heals faster than it should on Accutane and the mark it leaves behind is gone/significantly faded within two weeks.
Results: Two months into accutane and my skin shows no signs of dryness. It stays hydrated all day so all I have to worry about is my chapped lips. My scars are fading at a phenomenal rate and I even glow a little from all the moisture. You may find it daunting at first, so maybe start out with the foam cleanser, the toner, the ceramide gel and the sunscreen. I'd also suggest going over to r/AsianBeauty and doing a search for dry, sensitive skin if you want more options.
I hope this helps and good luck! You'll look and feel amazing afterwards.
Edit: Supplements! I take fish oil, evening primrose oil and vitamin D.

Skin Type: combination/dehydrated maybe??/acne-prone | Country/Climate I'm in: hot/humid/sometimes dry | Top Skin Concern: large pores, oil control in T-zone, pit-like scars on temples
Current Routine/Products I'm Using (as of two days ago):
AM
Tosowoong Enzyme Powder Wash
Thayer's Witch Hazel - Alcohol-free in Cucumber
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
Care Zone Doctor Solution A-cure Clarifying Emulsion
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+/PA++++
PM
Tosowoong Enzyme Powder Wash
Thayer's Witch Hazel - Alcohol-free in Cucumber
Aura Cacia Organic Skin Care Oil - Restoring Rosehip Oil with Vitamin E (For spot treatment and thickening my eyebrows lmao)
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
Care Zone Doctor Solution A-cure Clarifying Emulsion
Recently bought the Thayer's Witch Hazel to replace my previous toner (which was from the same Carezone Doctor's solution line) thinking it would be good since I like using watery toners with a cotton pad to wipe off oil after washing my face (dunno if that actually does anything). However, today I noticed my face was in a thin layer of oil, basically the same post-wash oily feeling as when I used to not use toner or anything and just suffered with a dry cracking face after washing. Not sure if this is what people who "broke out from Thayer's" also experienced except my skin just didn't break out?? Any speculation/experience with Thayer's will help!
Also, my Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence Rose Edition finally came in from Yesstyle! It looks really watery and you apply it with a cotton pad, so hopefully it can replace my Thayer's!
Hi, I'm late to this post but I wanted to throw my own 2 cents in.
I have suffered from mouth sores for as long as I can remember. Until recently, the only thing that worked for me was Oracort. Last month I was visiting with a friend who shills essential oils, and when I said I had a brand new canker sore forming, she gave me 3 drops of oil in a cup of water and told me to swish. I shit you not, that canker sore went away within a couple of hours and didn't come back.
The blend was called "Four Thieves" and can be found through various distributors. It's a mix of cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary oils.

Here is the mobile version of your link
I have dry/sensitive skin and I’d love to have a 100% vegan/cruelty free skincare routine, however it’s been hard to find products that work for me. I have purchased and tried many many products and the ones that have really worked, and I use daily are:
1.- Cleanser: Yes to Cucumber Daily Gentle Cleanser - I’ve been using this cleanser for more than a year and it has been great. It does not leave my face itchy or dry after washing it, which all other soaps did.
2.- Toner: Rosewater & Glycerin from Heritage Store - It has only three ingredients and leaves my skin hydrated, fresh, soft.
3.- Moisturizing Oil: Rosehip Oil from Aura Cacia - I use this for extra moisturizing in the a reas of my face that are extra dry and under my eyes.
The best part of these products besides being vegan/cruelty free is that they are all less than $10!
The rest of the products I use (serum and moisturizing cream) are from Dr Jart+ and are not vegan/cruelty free. I would LOVE to find some that work for me though!
I use rosehip oil as a moisturizer and before I put on makeup! I have this one! I’ve used argan oil in the past and liked it even more, but I was convinced the one I tried was making me break out. I would suggest you maybe try that out, too, though! :)
Buy an essential oil diffuser, like this one for example and get a blend or two of essential oils, like this this one or other blends that smell good to you.
And if you don't have the diffuser, putting a pot of water boiling on the stove with drops of essential oil does the same thing.
