avon skin so soft moisturiser

[ethandron]

which one of this range is it that has anti-mosquito properties? just looked on-line and there are a number of skin-so-soft products to choose from. thanks.

I am not sure exactly what it is called but it is the spray oil in the greeny blue bottle (not the pink!)

[ethandron]

thanks joannie. do you think it's a dry oil body spray? seems to be the only one is a blue bottle. have you used it yourself, and if so, did it really work for repelling the little varmints???

[joannie10]

hi there - yes that is the one. I have used it for midges and it is great. It does have great reviews for repelling mosquitos also.

It works a treat, big butch Royal Marines use it in the jungle!Oh & Earl Spencer uses it

Just browsing and came across this post. Have ordered some as it seem to be the answer to my prayers. Those little peskies really love having a nibble at me. If it`s good enough for the R Ms, then it`s good enough for me!

[ethandron]

great, glad to hear that it really does work. i don't have an avon lady and although i can order it on-line, i wonder if it would be better to try and find out who my local avon lady is and get it through her. anyone ordered avon on-line?

Your local Avon lady will be happy to help. All the green Skin So Soft products have the smell that the mossies hate, shower gel, spray etc etc. I used them very successfully last year, came home without a single bite and it smells great anyway! I have just heard about patches you can buy that you use like you would for HRT or when trying to give up smoking. They are called 'Don't Bite Me'. Not tried them, but those who have, swear by them?

Has anyone tried the uplifting one for your boobs and did it work?

[saxy_jag]

It's the Soft'n'Fresh variety. Avon doesn't actually claim that it has insect repelling properties, but does acknowledge that certain of its ingredients are known to and that customers do buy it for this reason.

Note 'insect' and not specifically '.mosquito' repellent.

[joannie10]

alot of camping shops now sell it as do shops and garages around the highlands of Scotland because it is so good for the midges but it is quite a bit more expensive. It was on special on Avon last month so was only about �1.75. You might not get that offer online. If you don't have a local Avon then your best bet would be to use their website.

My friend buys it and rubs it on her Horse to keep the flies off

[joannie10]

a friend has been using some b00b uplifting thing from Avon and is finding an improvement. We did agree though that if you took time to rub anything in twice a day there should be some improvement - same with cellulite creams. Surely just the massaging helps.

Joannie, I'm tempted to agree with you, even though I'm an an Avon rep. I think the same goes for most products of this nature.

Ethandron, although the variety I suggested is still available, Avon ha very recently rebranded the SSS range, and I'm not sure whether they're planning to replace or withdraw Soft'n'Fresh. It's worth contacting them, though. They do tend to listen to their customers and have been known to reintroduce popular products if there is sufficient demand - and SSS is one of their top sellers.
