As Meghanstepped out on Wednesday eveningto attend a welcome reception and dinner in with King Tupou VI and Queen Nanasipau’u in Tonga, it was impossible not to notice hersuper shiny arms.
She opted for a cap-sleeve dress for the engagement, but still protected her arms against mosquitos with insect repellent.
“The advice would be to wear a repellent which contains an active ingredient and wear that repellent all day and all evening,” Professor James G. Logan, Head of the Department of Disease Control at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, tells PEOPLE.
“You have to put the repellent on like a hand cream. You have to really rub it in,” Logan adds. “If you squirt it on like a perfume, that won’t do anything because the mosquito will find a bit that’s not covered. A spray or a lotion is fine but really rub it in and reapply it often. There are four active ingredients, one of the main ones is DEET and it’s safe to use that during pregnancy.”
