Are there any mosquito repellents which actually work??!


Question: Skin So Soft by Avon (it's labelled as SSS).

It's a famous topic for marketing students. Avon made the product as a beauty product but found that it was really good as a mosquito repellent. They never marketed it as such and it has only ever been pushed onto the shelves as a beauty product.

Also eating food that is high in vitamin B6 is supposed to help.

Ultimately though, i agree with you; you're pretty much gonna get bitten at some stage.

Skin So Soft by Avon. My Grandmother made me use it as a kid, and it still works for me to this day.

Watkins has a product that is very effective. Expensive but well worth it. Nutrimetics has their Green Tea line which I found very effective and I live in an area with high mosquito counts in the summer.

yes start taking garlic tablets 1 week before you go
they dont like the smell so they will not bite you

Idk why, but Avon Skin so Soft does really work. I live in Oregon where the mosquitos are like rabid dogs and I use that stuff and I hardly ever get bitten. Good Luck!!

tiger balm from herbalist shop

called "jungle brand"beware tho, its strong and can take the finish off cameras and binoculars, but its the only thing that works in Africa

Bear grease /fat is the best possible. Not easy to get though.

Eating a natural diet avoiding sugars, sodas, and processed foods helps most people. Bad food makes your body give off more carbon dioxides which attracts mosquitos. I seldom have problems compared to those around me, but I eat the good stuff.

OFF or Avons Skin So Soft

Skin So Soft by Avon was recommended to my wife but it didn't work at all.

None has been effective to me!!!! As a joke my parents tell me to rub myself with garlic! Who knows,we might have discovered something here!He He
