Avon skin so soft

[woof]

I heard its good against midges & the like, but which one do you order ?, as there are quite a few different ones in the catologe.

Use the normal one, the others are intended for girlie things.

I think it's horrible stuff and irritates my skin worse than the midges, i can't believe it is sold as a moisturiser.

I used Smidge that Midge last summer which was far more pleasant.

Avon have changed the recipe in the last year or so and it's not so effective. Was mainly the bergamot oil that was keeping the midge off. Also if you store it for longer than about a year it denatures and doesn't work so well. Pity 'cause I sold thousands of bottles of the stuff in the past - though not officially as a midge repellent. It was to keep you feeling all soft and supple in the outdoors. Plus personally I found it a bit oily. There are other good products out there.

My old bottle of it has solidified. Anyone know how to remedy that? I like the stuff, but don't use it often.

Contains citronella as well as bergamot oil, but as stated above Avon changed the ingredients, so was not as effective, you could always buy some of this

Ehhhh a Yorkshireman washing it off while there's some life left in it?! Say it can't be true lad!

I used Avon Skin So Soft for many years. It worked fine for me but you must keep it topped up. After using Woodstocks Stupidly Simple Midge Repellant i find this works better for me and its cheaper. In fact I've just received another three pots.

I could add brut66 to the next batch. You wouldnt have to wash it off to go on the pull then.

The Avon didn't work for me this weekend up by Llyn Brianne. Still scratching.

But you would have to splash it all over?

Llyn brianne is the worst place I have ever been for midges, and I have been to Galloway . The scotsman I was with said it was like glen affrick.

 

[British Red]

Isn't this glen affrick?

 

[tenderfoot]

Isn't this glen affrick?

No , i think for most women he is Glen drool
