Always has been the best!!:
I am 32 years old. I remember as a child my twin brother went away camping, and my mother packed a bottle of Skin So Soft body oil (the original product) by avon in his bag.

Excellent Repellent, Worked great for camping:
This is an excellent product, I highly recommend it, don't listen to all the pissed off people who didn't get their Avon orders for free and are just venting as they wouldn't be able to tell you how great this product was. I went camping and not a single bite, didn't even see mosquitoes around me. The smell is pleasant also unlike other DEET products I've used.
Best Spray for dual purpose:
This product is awesome. It is a bug guard this keeps all the bugs and mosquitoes away, and it also keeps the skin smooth and soft. No irritations. Nice product.
