Cream To Prevent Being Bitten

[sengas]

Please help I am going on holiday in September to Singapore visiting my son he told me to make sure I bring mosquito spray etc., now i have heard that Avon the beauty company has something that repels bugs from biting you it's called "skin so soft " , but after going online to purchase some I do not know which to buy that's gonna be the best there's the oil spray , cream now if anyone can help as I don't want to buy the lotion when it should have been the spray oil, any help would be super I am prone to be bitten by anything that flies , I heard the Mosquitos there are vicious please help thank you.

I have read somebody on here said it was indeed Avon Skin oh so soft - and they said it was a blue label. If you google it and control and use wheel of the mouse - the page should be enlarged and you can see "insect repellant" on it. I hope that is correct.

Avon's skin so soft dry oil spray is meant to be excellent sengas,I envy your trip,enjoy.

Skin so Soft with the blue label really works. My husband used to be plagued with midge bites but since using this he has never been bitten. I also believe taking yeast tablets for a couple of weeks beforehand can me quite effective.Mozzies don't like the smell !!!!

It's not only a blue label. It's a blue bottle.

I'll have a look on Avon.

[Tilly2]

Just had a look and they have changed the colour of the bottle since I bought mine. Blue label it is.

[eariyam]

Sorry yes, the bottle is blue. You can get it on e-bay for around £3 a bottle

Boots do a lightly fragranced insect repellant called Repel Once, its a non greasy gel and lasts up to 8 hours according to their adverts. X

Be sure to check the list of ingredients and get the highest percentage Deet available... Nothing works as well...

It's the dry oil spray, they are selling it on eBay - it's not a cream, and you do need to apply it several times a day. It works! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AVON-SKIN-SO-SOFT-ORIGINAL-DRY-OIL-BODY-SPRAY-x-1-2-3-4-5-INSECT-REPELLENT-150ml-/281380121220?pt=UK_TravelTickets_Accessories_RL&var=&;hash=item41838fea84

I've tried all the Avon and home remedies and to be honest if you suffer badly with bites, don't chance them.

I use this, it works

Thing is, rocky - we are all different, so what works for me hasn't worked for you :-)

[kloofnek]

Avon.skin so soft,always have it with me when go on hols...ever since someone posted about it on here...very good ,it is

[rockyracoon]

Absolutely Boxy, Deet seems to be the one thing that is stable though, mozzies hate it. I tried the Avon stuff a couple of years ago in the back garden, I had the bejeezus bitten out of me, I am very prone to bites though so have to resort to strong chemical deterrents.

[ethandron]

I agree rocky. We've found the Avon stuff no use at all, it's deet all the way for us.
