If you’re jetting off on holiday this year and looking for a bug repellent spray that doesn’t have an overwhelming scent, shoppers have recommended The Avon Skin So Soft Dry Oil Spray. The product is hailed not only for its nice smell but also because shoppers claim it leaves skin feeling “so soft”.
One shopper said: “Been using this for many many years. I’d spray my children on holiday, and their beds at night so they wouldn’t get mosquito bites and they never did. I’d use on myself both at home and on holiday as it leaves skin so soft and smells lovely.”
Another person added, “This is unbelievable stuff…I usually get savaged. I didn’t get bitten once in Cyprus, but more importantly, I can’t handle the feel of anything heavy on my skin. This is brilliant. It leaves a nice sheen and enhances a tan, and hydrates skin.”
To top it off, despite its many five-star reviews, the product is purse-friendly at £5.99. You can buy it from the Avon website or on Amazon, which also stocks multi-packs.
The spray is enriched with jojoba oil and vitamin E, ensuring skin nourishment, while the inclusion of citronella is key to its bug-repelling abilities, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The Avon dry oil spray distinguishes itself with its moisturising benefits and has secured a 4.4/5 star rating on Amazon. One satisfied customer said: “Never fails. This Oil is a Classic.”
Another review on Amazon proved the product isn’t just useful for international holidays, reading: “A must have for Scotland. Everyone knows this is the best product for midges – good scent too – wouldn’t go without it.”
One customer expressed disappointment, though, writing: “I got this stuff for going on a golfing holiday to Turkey this year. I was told this is the best stuff to repel mosquitoes, but I was still bitten multiple times. It’s like an oil consistency but smells good. Would I buy again – probably not.”
For those seeking alternatives, Boots offers the Repel Maximum DEET and PMD Aerosol 50ml for £5.39, which has earned a commendable 4.1 out of five stars. Additionally, the Jungle Formula Maximum Strength Insect Repellent Aerosol Spray is available on Amazon at a reduced price of £7.40, down from £10.99.
