SKIN SO SOFT Bath oil, Original Scent, 16.9 Fl Oz

I heard this could work to repel mosquitos so gave it a try. My partner usually gets eaten alive every holiday but used this product and didn’t get a single mosquito bite for the 3 week duration of our trip. Brilliant!

ve been a loyal fan of Skin So Soft for years, and it continues to be a staple in my home. The scent is light, clean, and nostalgic, and it leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth without being greasy. I especially love using it after a shower or a day in the sun. It’s also been my go-to for keeping pesky bugs away in the warmer months — a little bonus I’m always grateful for! A classic product that’s never let me down.

We used this stuff when I was a kiddo to keep bugs away from us. It smells nice enough but seriously. I'm one of those people who is apparently absolutely delicious to anything that sucks blood. Seriously, fleas,biting flies, mosquitoes,ticks and leeches.. yes leeches. 🤦 My Gran introduced me to this stuff when I was a kid. I'm 40+ now. It still works and smells the same. It's good for your skin and hair, mites and spiders aren't fond of it. Not sure about bed bugs 🤷 But the formula is still a bonified biting nuisance shoo off. If you live in Texas, or anywhere with mosquitoes 🦟 and other critters and they think you are the chefs kiss. Get this. Seriously. Just get it, put it in a misting bottle like you use for dampening hair at a salon and apply to exposed skin. We have mosquitoes this year here and I wasn't sure if it would still work or be the same formula but it does. One bottle will last you awhile and is definitely a good camping and backpacking idea in a misting bottle. This falls under the, "Shut up and take my money!" category. Do NOT use it on pets. This is for humans only. And keep it out of reach of children that might eat or drink it. Mineral oil is one of the ingredients. If you're somewhere that gets mosquito borne pathogens. This will drastically reduce your chances of getting bit and in turn getting sick. I hope Avon keeps this product line around for my children's children.

Smells so nostalgic and so good. The oil quality is good too. However, they definitely need a different top to control the oil output. I just poured it into a different bottle with a more ideal top.

It's a good skin softener, and keeps mosquitoes away, so it's an insect repellent too
