Not sure where to post this but.....has anyone had experience of the skin so soft product and how effective it is against insect bites, especially mozzies?. I am thinking of asking a friend to bring some out from the uk (they do not seem to have online facilities for delivery to Italy).
Thanks

I had some sent out late last year, but haven't needed to try it yet. I have heard it is very good though.

I have also found the Skin So Soft body oil very effective.
(Beware if you get a bit on tiled floors as it can make it dangerously slippery).
You can buy it and have it sent overseas here, I believe:
Skin So Soft. Avon. Alternative insect and mosquito repellent.

I can vouch for the effectiveness of SSS OIL. I was distracted by visitors arriving whilst I was applying it once, which resulted in only one leg being ‘done’.

At the end of the evening the leg with the SSS was bite free but not the other one, It did take a while for me to remember that I had not applied it to both legs!

Actually SSS has another advantage - it is actually quite a nice product for skin care! It gives your skin that silky "I've been on holiday somewhere very expensive in the Med" look. You do know Med tans are considered the finest tans in the world - dont you?

This is the one you want to buy.

I'm about to have a dozen zanzariere fitted at some cost and now I read that 6 quid would have done the job just as well.

And for legs of the short, fat hairy variety... oil or cream?
