Over At My Personal Blog... Avon Bug Guard: Facts & Info, FAQ Avon Bug Guard How to Choose. How to Use, Facts, Info & FAQ's About Avon's DEET Free Insect Repellent Lately I've had customers asking me about Avon Bug Guard so I thought I'd post some Facts & Info about it over at my personal blog. Go ahead and check it out at the link below. And if you or if you know anyone who might be interested in giving Bug Guard a try feel free to send them on over!

Avon Bug Guard Facts, Info & FAQ

As an Independent Avon Representative I get a lot of questions about Avon products. Some are about Avon’s Skincare line or about their makeup but most are regarding Avon’s popular Skin So Soft products. One product in particular is Avon Bug Guard, which is also part of the Skin So Soft family. There is often confusion about Avon Skin So Soft , which is often used as a “home remedy” insect repellent and Avon Bug Guard and I’m often asked to explain the difference between the two as well as whether or not Avon Bug Guard is safe for the whole family to use.
You may be wondering the same also, so I’ll begin with the most obvious difference between the two products.
1) Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil is labeled as moisturizing bath oil. The label does not claim to be an Insect Repellent or show instructions on how to use as an insect repellent. The Avon Corporation has also stated that “Skin So Soft Bath Oil is moisturizing bath oil, not an insect repellent. Therefore, it is not registered as such with the EPA, and we may not make insect repellent claims about it”
2) Avon Bug Guard is labeled as an Insect Repellent and has been registered with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
EPA registered means the repellent, has been evaluated for efficacy and has been tested for safety on humans. Before a product can be marketed as an Insect Repellent the EPA has specific requirements that need to be met: the product must contain an EPA registered Active Ingredients: (DEET, Picariden, IR3535 or Oil of lemon eucalyptus) and the product company must provide EPA with technical information on the effectiveness of the product against mosquitoes and/or ticks.
Avon Bug Guard has met all EPA requirements whereas Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil has not. Because Avon Bug Guard is EPA registered it is safe to say that it is safe for the whole family including children, and pregnant or nursing women.
There are three varieties of Avon Bug Guard:
Avon Bug Guard plus Picaridin
Avon Bug Guard Plus IR3535® Expedition™ SPF 30
Avon Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Sunscreen Moisturizing Lotions
Depending on the time of day and the type of outdoor activity will determine which Avon Bug Guard would be right for you. All are DEET free and are available in a pump, aerosol spray or lotion.

Skin So Soft Avon Bath Oil - A Review

Have you heard of Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil?

As an Avon Representative, It’s one of my best sellers! Many of my Avon customers are very loyal to the Original Skin So Soft bath oil they rave about how soft it makes their skin as well as the additional benefits associated with the legendary product (insect repelling qualities, household remedies etc.).

But I have a little secret that may shock you….I’m not a big fan of the scent.

Now don’t get me wrong! I use many products from the Skin So Soft Avon line or “SSS” for short, like the lotions, hair removal products, deodorants and body wash but I have to truthfully say I don’t use the bath oil. And I’ll tell you why. Last winter I decided to purchase the Skin So Soft Gelled Body Oil for me and my son because we both suffer from extremely dry skin during the winter so I thought this is great, we can both use it and my son can easily smooth it on after his shower and all will be well. Unfortunately we both found the Original SSS fragrance was just too strong. My poor boy, he was so annoyed! He said he smelled like a flower! And I don’t blame him; the strong flowery scent didn’t suit me either.

Now I realize fragrance is all a personal preference and as mentioned most of my customers love the Original scent but for me it’s just too strong. I prefer a lighter scent. So I ended up returning it and figured that Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil just wasn’t for me and I stuck with the other Skin So Soft Avon products that came in other scents like the lotions and body washes. I don’t mind the way they smell, in fact I really like the light fresh scents of SSS Soft & Sensual and SSS Signature Silk and the lotions really do leave my skin feeling soft. But I couldn’t help feeling like I was missing out, especially when my customers would rave how soft the Original Bath Oil left their skin. If only Avon had the bath oil in these other scents. I couldn’t figure out why AVON had these two fantastic fragrances in their other Skin So Soft Avon products but yet they were holding out on the bath oil.


Well now that’s all changed!
Because recently Avon announced they improved the Skin So Soft formula and also added to their bath oil collection. They still have the Original formula but now they also have Soft & Sensual and Signature Silk formulas as well! Boy was I happy when Avon informed me of this news. It was about time!

Now Avon has three New & Improved formulas that will please everyone! Here is the new line up:



Skin So Soft - Original Formula (Botanical & Fresh Herbal Scent)
If you’re a loyal user of the original bath oil you’re going to love this improved formula now with Jojoba Oil. It still has the same fragrance as well as softens and conditions skin all day. Skin Soft Original is also available in Shower Gel, Gelled Body Oil, Body Lotion, and Bath Oil Spray.
Click here to see the whole SSS Original Collection over at the Avon website.





Skin So Soft – Soft & Sensual Formula (Lush Floral & Jamine Scent)
This new formula with Argan Oil locks in 50% more moisture than lotion. It offers rich hydration and restores skin’s essential moisture. SSS Soft & Sensual is also available in a new Creamy Body Wash, Shower Gel and Ultra Moisturizing Body Lotion.

Skin So Soft - Signature Silk Formula (Fresh Gardenia & Exotic Woods Scent)
New Signature Silk Bath Oil also with Argan Oil boosts and illuminates skin. Signature Silk is also available in a new Creamy Body Wash, Shower Gel, Replenishing Hand Cream, Ultra Moisturizing Body Lotion, Gelled Body Oil, and Perfecting Oil.
Click here to see the whole Signature Silk Collection over at the Avon website



So there it is I am now a happy camper! I ordered my bath oil in my favorite scent (Soft & Sensual) and have been using it ever since. My skin feels good and I smell good.


Here are some tips when using the bath oil
How to use:
As a Bath Oil - Fill into bath and poor desired amount into water to soak yourself
As a Leave-in Moisturizer - Apply to wet skin after bath, smooth all over body then wipe off with towel

Helpful Tips:

• Be careful when pouring! It has a push twist cap but it will pour freely if dropped. So make sure your hands aren’t slippery when holding the bottle.
• I found that while using the bath oil as a leave-in moisturizer it’s better to apply it standing on a towel rather than in the bathtub because it can leave the tub slippery.
• The top doesn’t have anything to control the flow of the oil so I found it easier to pour it into the cap first which makes it easier to control when I’m pouring it onto my hand to apply.

Have you tried Skin So Soft Avon Bath Oil? What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear how you use it and any helpful tips you might have! Just leave a comment below.
