Title: A Good deal & keep the mossies away
Post by: Crabbit on March 01, 2008, 21:19:04 PM
Avon have their Soft and fresh dry oil spray reduced from £5 to £2, and then if you use code 'birthday' it gives you a further 10% off your order PLUS free delivery.

This dry oil spray doubles up as a mosquito repellent so is ideal for anyone going on holiday to Turkey.

I have heard good reports about this product, many people swear by it.  
Unfortunately the one time I got an Avon rep I wasn't sure which one it was so have never tried it myself.

I then had the good luck to find that Boots mossie wipes work for me so would be reluctant try anything else.
I would hate to go back to being the main course for the mossies.:D

If you can get it it has worked for loads of people.

Hi Laffa, yes this is the same one.  I was an Avon rep for years, and have only recently given up as we moved house and it was too much hassle to continue.  I sold loads of this to people going abroad in the summer.  Have just placed my order (3 bottles!).  Thanks Crabbit - saved myself a couple of quid!

Try vitamin b tablets as well worked really well for us. I will get some of this as well, you can never be too careful. Plus I love a bargain.

I also went through Quidco to get another 15% off, I will have to wait and see if it pays up.

The product is Skin so Soft Dry oil body spray Soft and Fresh.It must be the green bottle and not the pink.It is also an excellent moisturiser if you have sunburn.So a good all round product.!!!

Thank you so much for the info Crabbit I have just bought four bottles and got the discount brilliant. I will try anything as I get bitten terribly no matter what I use.

We got a couple of bottles of this stuff and took it to Spain with us.My other half did'nt get bitten at all but I did about 6 times.I would say its pretty good stuff myself and even if it does'nt keep the mossies at bay at least it smells nice and makes your skin nice and soft. Thats what she says not me about the smell I mean.I think it smells a bit poofy myself.Whats the verdict of others on here that have tried it this year in Turkey.Any good ?

Used it in April only got one bite around my ankles where I had not applied it. Used it in August but I must admit I was a bit lax with it and got a few bites on those nights, overall I would say it is a good product to keep the mozzies away, if you remeber to apply it!

I've been using this for years now and it really works for me. It also doubles up as an aftersun and my tan seems to stay for longer. I spray it all over me when I get out of the shower (be careful where you spray though as it makes the tiled floors very slippy) and just wait for it to dry. Thanks for the tip on the offer have put my order in!

Hi Alan i dont feel very healthy at the mo, do strong vitamin B tablets help you feel healthy or should I say are they good for you?
Cheers Karen

Avon Skin so Soft is the best Mossy repellant I have ever used,and I spent a lot of time in the jungle (Jungle Bunny)It does not do your street cred any good but rather that than weeping infested mossy bites
