browning123 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Avon Skin so Soft, works a treat - I used to get badly bitten this time of the year, but since using this I have no problems. I believe the troops in Afganistan use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc147 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Have you tried not rubbing the skin so soft in. I have found it works better if you spray it on and leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browning123 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Have you tried not rubbing the skin so soft in. I have found it works better if you spray it on and leave it. That's what I do - it gives a better barrier, I went out shooting rabbits last night in short sleeves and was not bitten once, plenty of nettle stings on my legs though!
