Summertime is here!
Time to get out of the house and enjoy nature. Take a walk in the woods, play a round of golf, go fishing, go camping, have friends over for a bonfire, take the kiddos to the zoo, take a trip to the beach or the mountains. Even mowing the lawn is fun, when you’re blasting Sirius XM Classic Rock Workout on your LG earbuds.
While you’re out there soaking up the sun or basking in the moonlight, though, make sure you’re protecting your largest organ – your skin! The sun’s rays can cause serious damage later in life (trust me; I’m a melanoma survivor), and those pesky bug bites are certainly annoying but can also carry nasty diseases. You want to make sure you and your family are safe.
You may have already heard of Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard products, or you may already be using them (good for you!). I’m going to tell you all about them, so you can make an informed decision when choosing your protection products.
All of the products are DEET-FREE and safe for children 6 months and up.
Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR 3535 Insect Repellent Gentle Breeze SPF 30 Sunscreen
Gentle Breeze Sunscreen Lotion protects against sun, bugs, and water at the same time!
It has an SPF factor of 30, is water resistant, DEET-free, and PABA-free. It has Vitamin E and aloe to moisturize the skin, and it repels all kinds of bugs. All of that in one little bottle!
Gentle Breeze contains IR3535, an ingredient that repels a broad range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, deer ticks, black flies, gnats, no-seeums, sand flies, and biting midges.
It is non-greasy, non-comedogenic, and non-acnegenic. It is dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic. Gentle Breeze is safe for anyone over 6 months of age. For continued protection, reapply every two hours or after 80 minutes in the water.
Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Expedition
Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Expedition provides all-in-one protection from sun and bugs in a spray.
Bug Guard Plus Expedition Aerosol Spray contains SPF 28 and repels mosquitoes for 8 hours and deer ticks for 12 hours. It also provides effective protection against a broad range of biting insects, including black flies, gnats, no-seeums, sand flies, and biting midges.
It is DEET-free, dermatologist-tested, and hypoallergenic.
Bug Guard Plus Expedition is safe for anyone over 6 months of age, but should be applied on children by an adult. Reapply as needed for maximum sun protection, but not more than four times a day. Expedition does not need to be washed off when coming indoors.
Expedition is also available in a family-size pump spray for those who don’t like aerosols. The pump formula has SPF 30.
Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin
Bug Guard Plus Picaridin is the spray you want to use at dawn and dusk, when the bugs are most active.
Bug Guard Plus Picaridin does not contain sunscreen. But, it does contain Picaridin, a DEET alternative with low odor and a light, clean feel.
It provides strong and dependable repellency against mosquitoes, deer ticks, gnats, no-seeums, sand flies, and biting midges.
It is DEET-free, oil-free, and dermatologist-tested. It is safe for anyone over 6 months of age, but should be applied on children by an adult. Do not apply under clothing, or on cuts, irritated skin, or excessively sunburned skin. NEVER APPLY DIRECTLY TO FACE.
Bug Guard Plus Picaridin does need to be washed off when returning indoors.
Bug Guard Plus Picaridin is also available in a family-size pump spray.
Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes
Bug Guard Plus Picaridin is also available in a convenient towelette! They come individually wrapped in a resealable zipper bag – perfect for traveling or keeping a few in your purse or car!
Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes provide all the same protection as the Bug Guard Plus Picaridin sprays. They come in a package of eight individual towelettes. You should always have them on hand.
A little tip: I’ve heard that some people who golf or fish will put a towelette underneath their hat, to keep the annoying bugs away from their face.
When using the towelettes, be sure to wash off the residue when returning indoors.
There you have it! I hope you have a wonderful summer, with no sunburn and no bug bites!
