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... read full review »

Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus has provided average protection for my family. I think the idea of combining a sunscreen with bug protection is great. My kids and I are very fair skinned and tend to attract lots of mosquitoes. It is a welcome relief to apply one rather than two products. However, one...

     I like the convenience of having the bug guard with the sunscreen.  It does not irritate my sensitive skin and my kids do not complain about using it.  We always take it camping with us.  I highly recommend this sunscreen to family and friends.

Avon Skin so Soft Bug Guard Plus SPF 30 is a lightly scented (Gentle Breeze), insect repellent, SPF 30 sunscreen lotion.  This product is very water resistant. 

This product is not the one with the blue dye in it.  This is a dye free formula.  The lotion is not very thick and is easily applied.  The scent is not overwhelming, but rather a plus compared to similar products that have very strong foul scents.

I was hesitant about buying a product that is scented because I thought it would attract more bugs.  I could not have been more wrong.  This product does repel mosquito's, flies (we have...

I live in the country between a horse farm and black angus cattle farm.  Add to that our own horses, house cat, numerous adopted barn cats and you've got every type of flying, buzzing, creepy, crawling, insect you can imagine!  With all that being said I'm outdoors a lot.  During the summer months more so.  I don't have time to look for or put on 101 different products to protect me from all of the above.  And I want to smell pretty, after all I'm still a girl, lol. 

I remembered Avon made skin softener that also repelled insects.  I checked out their website and low and behold I founded...

I have four children who are all fair skinned.  Five minutes in the sun, and my eight year old is already getting red.  I have tried several sunscreens, and I loved the idea of having a bug repellant in the sunscreen as well, especially since my kids are also allergic to mosquitoes and welp up when bit.  However, I found that the sunscreen just didn't last long enough in the water, and you know kids, playing in the water is their thing.

I found that the sunscreen part works well, but the bug guard didn't work at all. My  family was all bit up. I ended up going out and buying a diff. bug spray.. I did want to give it another chance but it failed again and we didn,t even go into the water. Why pay the extra money for something that is not going to work

We live on a Bog in Maine and I could get carried away by the bugs.  I use any of the AVON Bug Gaurds and I hardly notice the bugs.  Out of my whole family, I'm the one that the bugs love and would eat me alive.  I hate going outdoors, but using Bug Guard allows me to play outdoors with my girls and enjoy the outdoors without fighting the bugs.  I think that the smell of the Bug Guard is very pleasant, it is not overwhelming at all.  I've never tested the Sun Screen aspect of Bug Guard, because the only time I usually need sunscreen is at the beach, but I have used Bug Guard on my girls and...

I am writing this review about Skin So Soft bug guard and sunscreen.

The product that I tried was a spray and it was so handy. The best bug spray and it is a sunscreen to boot!

We use the Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus. It is amazing. Keeps us from being bit and has no bad smell. Goes on smooth and keeps bugs away for hours.I think is a good price.
