Mary Bertsch, Avon Rep Are mosquitoes ruining your time outside with your family? I totally understand — my husband and grandkids seem to be mosquito magnets!
That’s why we always make sure we have Skin So Soft Mosquito Insect Repellents on hand.
Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus products have been a total game-changer for our family — giving us serious bug protection without the heavy, chemical smell you usually get with other sprays.
If you’re wondering “Does Skin So Soft really repel mosquitoes?”, the answer is YES — when you use Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard products.
These aren’t the bath oil myths people talk about; these are real, EPA-registered insect repellents made to keep you safe and bite-free.
Here’s why I recommend them to everyone I know:
1. DEET-Free Formulas You Can Feel Good About
One thing I love about the Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard line is that every product is DEET-free.
Instead of DEET, Avon insect repellent uses Picaridin or IR3535®, both proven to repel mosquitoes, deer ticks, gnats, no-see-ums, sand flies, and biting midges. These formulas are gentle on the skin and safe to use around the whole family. They’re dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and even have Vitamin E to help keep your skin soft.
No greasy or sticky feeling here — just a lightweight, clean scent that makes it easy to wear all day. If you’re looking for the best mosquito repellent that doesn’t leave you feeling coated in chemicals, Skin So Soft bug spray is the way to go.
2. Shields You from More Than Just Mosquitoes
It’s not just mosquitoes that you have to worry about these days. Ticks are a real concern too, especially with Lyme disease becoming more common. Thankfully, Skin So Soft mosquito insect repellents help protect against:
- Mosquitoes
- Deer ticks
- Gnats
- No-see-ums
- Sand flies
- Biting midges
I know we’re covered when my family heads out for walks, hikes, or just relaxing evenings outside. A quick spray or wipe with Skin So Soft bug spray, and we’re ready for a fun, bite-free day.
3. Bug Protection + Sun Protection for the Win
If you have kids or grandkids, or if you just love being outside like we do, you’ll appreciate the Avon Bug Guard Gentle Breeze lotion.
The Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Gentle Breeze SPF 30 Lotion is truly a must-have. It’s an Avon sunscreen with insect repellent, giving you both UVA/UVB protection and serious bug protection all in one step. Perfect for long days at the park, pool, beach, or ballgames.
I love using the Gentle Breeze lotion on all my grandkids—it works great for every age. It’s lightweight and non-greasy and protects them from sunburn and bug bites at the same time. It’s such a relief not having to carry around two separate products—especially when you’re juggling water bottles, snacks, and toys, too!
Tip: Use the Gentle Breeze SPF 30 lotion during the height of the day when the sun is strongest. For early mornings and evenings (when mosquitoes are usually most active), we switch to the Picaridin sprays for extra coverage.
4. Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin
Another reason I always recommend Avon Skin So Soft is how gentle these products are. The repellents are hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and infused with Vitamin E and aloe.
My husband has sensitive skin, but the Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin spray works great for him without any redness or irritation. It dries quickly, isn’t greasy, and doesn’t have that overwhelming chemical smell that a lot of other sprays do.
It’s nice to be able to spray it on everyone — even the little ones — without worrying about irritation or heavy fragrances.
5. So Many Convenient Options
One thing Avon really got right is giving us lots of different options to fit our busy lifestyles:
- Pump Sprays – Perfect for quick and even coverage.
- Aerosol Sprays – Great for covering your whole body, even hard-to-reach spots.
- On-the-Go Towelettes – Super handy for trips to the park, sporting events, or travel.
- Avon Bug Guard Gentle Breeze SPF 30 Lotion – A fantastic choice when you want easy bug and sun protection in one step.
The towelettes are my personal favorite for outings with my grandkids. They’re so easy to throw in my purse or beach bag and pull out when needed — no mess, no fuss!
