I enjoy spending time in my backyard patio during the warmer months.  Unfortunately, so do the local wasps and mosquitoes.  I really hate to spray harsh bug repellants on my skin so I was on the lookout for a product that would work effectively but wasn't overloaded with harsh chemicals.  Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 - Gentle Breeze has been the answer for me.  In addition to the insect repellant, the lotion also contains an SPF 30 UVA/UVB sunscreen.

When I first opened the cap, I was surprised by how innocuous the Gentle Breeze scent smelled.  I'm used to bug killers smelling like strong chemicals so it surprised me that the Bug Guard Plus smelled like a lightly fragranced body lotion.  The product contains aloe and vitamin E moisturizers, and is both pediatrician and dermatologist tested.  Another plus for this item - besides the sunscreen - is that it is both DEET-free and PABA-free.

After applying the Bug Guard Plus, I find that I can sit outside in the twilight when the buggies start looking for food, and I am rarely bothered by pesky mosquitoes. 

The only downside to this product is precisely that it is a combo product.  Where I live, the mosquitoes don't come out until after the sun goes down.  I don't need the extra chemicals of a sunblock since there generally isn't any sun out when I use the lotion.  Still, if you are in need of both a sunblock and an insect repellant, this product definitely kills two birds with one stone.  You won't need to buy separate products with Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus.  I highly recommend it.

before they called it bug guard and just skin so soft I always had a bottle in my tackle box. That way when I was fishing I had my mosquito repellent with me and I like the smell too. ;)

Maybe I should have ordered some of this to take out to California. Thanks for sharing about this.

Oh that's good to know! I must have overlooked it in the Avon brochure. :)
