Avon SSS Dry Oil spray

Just got the latest Avon book and the SSS dry oil body spray is on offer at 3 for £5, an absolute bargain as its usually around £4 for one. Will stock up now and should be free of mozzie bites this year

Mrs Andytaj is an Avon rep.

We have been using this ever since the kids were little, back when a trip to Woolacombe or Torquay was an exotic holiday.

We are going to (Sunny!!) Selsey at the end of March, do you think we'll need some then? :lol:

Someone in work told me about this last year. Her boyfriend is in the Marines and it's what they use in Afghanistan. Duly bought some and took it with us and none of us got a single bite. Good stuff. :D

Thanks for that tip, dotty - went online and ordered mine last night. I swear by the stuff - I'm a mozzie magnet, and it seems to be the only thing which works for me. I've also got very sensitive skin, so a lot of the actual insect repellents are a no-no for me anyway.

I must be lucky as I have not been bitten once. I think one tried to bite me one night last June when but I felt it land on my neck and gave it a slap before it got chance to get stuck in, but apart from that never had a problem.

Both my mother and I have relatively rare blood groups and we're both mozzie magnets. Not only am I a magnet for the little blighters, but I react really badly to the bites and always end up having to get antibiotics for the infected bites. I've still for the scars from the worst bites, which all happened in the Costa del Sol, Spain. Another reason to stick to Turkey, methinks (as if I needed one)

I could only see the original 3 for five and the sensual one is five for five.
Anyway just ordered them with avon online through a google search and would have got free delivery if I had spent £20 because I went through a google link. The code is KWG. Handy if you are looking for other stuff.
Thanks for that

It's the bluey/green coloured one you want - think it's called soft and fresh, rather than the pink/sensual one.

You're right, gayle - the design of the bottle has changed slightly. The one you've mentioned is the one you're looking for - original, in the white bottle with blue on it.
