Does Avon skin so soft body lotion repel mosquitos
87950
ABSOLUTELY! I live in south florida, so mosquitos are a big problem. And boy do they love me. I've tried everything. Some of the 80- 100% Deet sprays work well, but they are literally poison. This spray oil works equally well without making your lips numb and you nail polish peel off. I would highly recommend it. Hope this was helpful to you. Best, Kaeli

Mix Lavender Oil with Vodka or Rubbing Alcohol, 10 drops Lavender Oil, 50 drops Alcohol - works great for mosquito bites and presser sores just as they start itching...

I am 77 years old and have used this product combined with Avon moisturizers for over 30 y( I don't sell AVON , ☺ just use it) recently my rep gave me a wrinkle tester and I have NO CROWS FEET... no wrinkles and people always remark about my beautiful skin... I credit this Alpha Hydrox and Avon. Before that I used some Retin A, which I needed a prescription for at that time till I stumbled on this cream and I love it. Buying it on line I usually wait for a special offer, but even without that it is cheaper than anything some of my friends use without getting the results I get. But a lot of people think they are getting something better because of the " name" Rene Ebsworth ¢¾ I am 77 years old and have used this product combined with Avon moisturizers for over 30 y( I don't sell AVON , ☺ just use it) recently my rep gave me a wrinkle tester and I have NO CROWS FEET... no wrinkles and people always remark about my beautiful skin...

Nothing on the label describes it as "bug soother". It's very effective for repelling the bugs I encounter. It is gentle on the skin with its all natural ingredients.

It's a little bottle so it's probably just for face/neck/chest. It's also runny like water so it would be hard to put on all over. I use eucerin daily protection lotion SPF 15 for arms and legs.

We live in Virginia where gnats are as ferocious during the day, as mosquitoes are after dark. For over 3 decades, my family keeps misting bottles with 1/4 Skin-So-Soft & 3/4 water by the front and back doors. Any time it's needed, a quick shake will mix the oil and water before spritzing our skin, followed by a gentle rub to disperse. One bottle from Avon will last for years.

It depends on your chemistry. Personally, I was disappointed in the product. I'm in Florida and it did not protect against no-see-ums completely. However, bugs are drawn to me more than anyone I'm with at any given time, and it did work for the others. Seems Deep Woods Off or Bullfrog are the things that work for my skin, although one contains DEET and the other is a spray.

I do not believe this has picaridin in it. We've tried the Avon Bug Guard spray with picaridin. We did not like the smell and the eye and nose irritation. While this Bug Guard lotion is supposed to require re-application every couple of hours, we think that it actually works longer than the picaridin spray because you have to rub the lotion on the skin...and it does not just evaporate or rub off.

For older skin, I was not thrilled with this product. I would recommend Avon's ANEW ULTIMATE 7S Elixir for deep wrinkles.

Yes, this is why I bought it. I have found that by using it for body & face I am less itchy & it is gentle on my face.

No...it is a gnat repellent. They will fly around the area sprayed, but not land on that area. I rub it on my face, neck & ears & it keeps them from landing & biting on those areas. I do wash my face & whatever I have sprayed with plain soap & water when I go in to stay, but since there is no bad smell or residue on my skin, I really would not have to do that.

Unfortunately I've only used these during the day so I'm not sure if they'll repel Mosquitos.

Absolutely! It's a blend of essential oils in a fractionated coconut oil carrier. It actually soothes bites and stings when put directly on the skin! If you put a few drops on pulse points, it gives even more overall protection from bugs!

First let me say I am a fisher, not a hunter, and animals do smell different than humans. That being said, after applying and allowing to thoroughly dry, I did not notice/smell an odor from the Repel Sportsmen 30-Percent Deet Mosquito Repellent Wipes. No one around complained either. I have asthma and certain present odors aggravate it but, this product did not. I also have fairly sensitive skin & I had no skin reactions either. I also use the Sawyer Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent Trigger Spray, purchased on Amazon.com, and I love it. Works like a dream even after 3 washings in the washing machine. (Please note that I did use a mild detergent.) After the 4th washing of the clothes, it did start to loose its effectiveness but still worked. Both are well worth the money & I keep both on hand for myself & guests. Best of luck & happy hunting.

This is a lotion however there is also a body wash you can purchase as well.

Yes, it is insect repellantthat is applied on your skin. It is 98.11% DEET, so a little goes a long way. One very light "pump" on each arm and leg is enough to spread around each arm or leg. You'll have enough MAXI DEET left on your hand for your face and neck. What I received was in a different application container, than what was pictured, but it was the same product. I've used this stuff for years in Costa Rica, which can be a little "buggy" at certain times of the year.

Don't swim, but it says to apply only twice a day so I would guess no. Also it says to avoid using it if badly sunburned. I would use Avon Skin So Soft without bug guard with the kids at the beach.
