The Avon Skin So Soft bath oil is a terrific alternative to using an aerosol bug repellent. The skitters absolutely hate the smell and stay away. Simply wipe on exposed skin areas with a piece of paper towel and you're bug free.

Yes. I heard this too.Someone I know down in the Fl.Keys on a yacht swears by it for skeeters. Also other people have said the same thing.

Skeeter
A small, bloodsucking insect such as a mosquito.
Hank, watch out for them dang old skeeters, they itch like a _____ when they gitcha.

Skitters are an entirely different thing.

I know for a fact that it's a great tick repellant.

Request: Repellent Made From Skin So Soft

Archived on 10/15/2009

I saw a repellent or something to that was made from Avon's Skin So Soft and some other ingredients. Can anyone get me the recipe for it please. I thought it could be used to keep the fleas off you but I'm just not sure. Thanks.

RE: Repellent Made From Skin So Soft

I have used just the "Skin So Soft" product by itself. Keeps mosquitoes away for sure. don't know about fleas! Try it alone -- no other ingredients needed! (09/15/2008)

RE: Repellent Made From Skin So Soft

I don't know about a recipe, but I used to use Avon's Skin So Soft Bath Oil on my son because the fleas bothered him so. I would just put some in my hand and rub it on him. It has a strong smell, but it worked for him. There are a lot of "Skin So Soft" products, so be sure it's bath oil and not lotion or something else. (09/15/2008)

RE: Repellent Made From Skin So Soft

I mix 1/4 skin so soft and 3/4 rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to use as mosquito repellant. It works very well in mosquito infested Florida! (09/15/2008)

RE: Repellent Made From Skin So Soft

You don't need to mix it with anything all by itself it does repel flies and gnats and yes, fleas also. (09/21/2008)
