1x 150ml SKIN so SOFT ® AVON Dry Oil Body Spray ORIGINAL® +jojoba insect repellent

Product Information

The reason Avon Skin So Soft could work as a mosquito repellent is possibly due to one of its ingredients, icaridin. The good news is that those local news stories about how great Avon products are at repelling insects don’t have to be totally wrong anymore!

Avon Skin So Soft is not advertised as a midge repellent but it’s well-reported that it offers effective against midges in Scotland. Filled with active days on unforgettable routes, these trips have been designed with the journey at their core. By taking preventative steps to stop them from biting you, you’re potentially cutting off their ability to lay more eggs. Incognito have a wide range of insect repellent products including suncream, body wash, lotion, roll-ons and incense sticks.It’s also not explicitly sold as an insect repellent so it has no estimated anti-midge duration, though I guess 3-4 hours would be about right.

Being targeted by midges and mosquitoes can really spoil your holiday, your lakeside campsites trip or your family friendly festival, especially if you react badly to the bites. We sometimes use Incognito insect repellent which we also spray onto our clothes to help protect against ticks. Some people appear to be more tasty to the flying insect and can end up being irritated by them more than another person, even one standing by their side. Smidge keeps midges, mosquitoes, horseflies and other biting critters at bay for up to 8 hours with just one application and it’s also water-resistant, so if you feel the need to go wild swimming you won’t have to re-apply it.It’s actually only the females that bite as they need lots of protein to form their clutches of eggs, but while they mostly feed on cattle and wild animals they’re also quite happy to chow down on any passing human that comes within range whether young, old, male or female. Though it’s unclear if the 40-minute study used Avon’s Bug Guard repellent brand, despite mentioning it in the paper . We haven’t tried Lifesystems Natural 30+ Insect Repellent Spray but I like that it’s another natural midge repellent. It is worth mentioning that however annoying these pesky Scottish midges can be, they are not such a serious threat to your health as ticks which can give you Lyme disease. All you need to do is keep applying it like you are already, keeping your skin safe while free from itches.
