Smile Skin So Soft Available

Skin So Soft is great for keeping bugs away while you are camping or just enjoying the
outdoors. But did you know that if you wipe it around your doors and window screens, it will
help keep the bugs from coming into your home. If you don't have access to it, you could order
it at this site.
Lisa is a great friend and she enjoys riding her Harley Davidson.

If any of you members own horses about a 50/50 mix of Skin So Soft and water in a spray bottle will keep the flies off of your horses in the summer. You have to keep shaking it up because they don't stay mixed well. Thought I'd throw that out there too, I'm am seriously though.

Does Avon even market this stuff as a repellent? It didn't when it first started even though people swore it did. Then Avon added a repellent. Mmm.

Avon disputes the 2002 results posted in the New England Journal of Medicine study, claiming its Bug Guard Repellent works for three hours, not the 10.3 minutes for its Bug Guard Repellent (and the 22.9 minutes for its Bug Guard Repellent Plus) the study found, but a 2003 Consumer Reports analysis found the Skin-So-Soft repellent deterred mosquitoes for only one hour.

I know what Snopes says, but I'm allergic to bug bites and I'm allergic to Deet. I swell up and have to use Witch Hazel to try and shrink each bite. Some times I have to go to the ER for relief. Skin So Soft works for me and I'm sure it would work for others. I have friends that do a lot camping and they won't leave home without it.
So...what's on your skin?

Long sleeves when I know I am going out at dusk when the mosquitos are biting. When camping, a large brimmed hat with no-see-um netting.

mosquitos are attracted to warm and moisture. I try to be the coolest person in camp.

My wife uses it without diluting when on trail rides.
