Avon SKIN SO SOFT Original Bath Oil Spray

I read something quite awhile ago that recommended Skin So Soft for mosquitoes. The information/article stated that soldiers exposed to the elements used this product and with so much success that they were requesting relatives to send it to them regularly. I tried it and it didn't work nearly as well for me. I live in Florida which has mosquitoes as big as jets especially if you live by the water, so I knew this would be a big challenge for any product. I had high expectations for this product and was extremely disappointed. It also failed to repel many other bugs during my time outdoors. As far as mosquito repellant goes, experts recommend to using repellant with DEET for effectiveness. Keep in mind there have been questions regarding the safety of DEET, so double check to make sure it's ok for you to use if you have health issues or very young children. I've used OFF! Deep Woods for the big bugs in my area and have had much better success.

My girlfriend has used this product for a long time. It makes her skin very soft and helps hold the moisture in too. Knowing this, I decided to try it and it works great on my "shaved" areas and keeps them soft as well. Also great lube for an electric shaver and keeps the skin from getting chapped. Now, if they would make it in a man's fragrance that would be even better!!!

I bought Avon Skin So Soft for my dog because I heard it does a good job of keeping flies away from him. The flies are still there.

It does not work well for mosquitoes, at least not the mosquitoes you'll see in Michigan! What it DOES work well for is deer flies. (The ones with checkered wings that bite you) I won't say it is a miracle cure - it does seem to wear off fast. However, it is the only thing I have found that helps. I have personally watched as frantic people tried OFF and Skintastic to no avail. As soon as I offered them some Skin So Soft, the flies left them alone. If you are planning a trip to Lake Michigan, I would make SURE to have a bottle of this stuff with you.

I have been using this product for over 18 years and just love it!!
