TRY SKIN SO SOFT BATH OIL

Did you know that Avon's Skin So Soft Bath Oil works as a flea repellent? Avon says Skin So Soft has been tested and proven to have flea-repellent properties that last for six days after application. "Not only does the woodsy fragrance of Skin So Soft keep fleas from biting your pets, but it also can help protect you!"

Ever since it hit the market in the early 1960s, Avon's Skin So Soft bath oil has maintained a reputation for repelling ticks, fleas and other insects without the use of harsh chemicals. 

 BENEFITS FOR YOUR DOG:

• It will leave your pup's fur feeling amazingly soft
• Smooths skin without irritation
• Fresh scent will make your dog smell amazing
• Contains jojoba oil
• Fresh herbal scent
• Works effectively to repel fleas and keep ticks and flies away

**Why exactly does Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil repel fleas and other annoying insects?  Well, it could be one of the ingredients called: Dicapryl adipate

“Dicapryl adipate has been shown to have insect repellent properties and is therefore useful in insect repellent formulations. Dicapryl adipate is free from the disadvantageous properties, such as skin irritation, which are exhibited by many known insect repellent agents.”   as per Google [1]

Please note that Avon does not market or advertise the Skin So Soft Bath Oil as a repellent, it has simply become the "go-to" product based on customer testimonials and repeated use.  Dog owners also swear by the fact that it helps protect against mosquitos as well. However, we carry the Skin So Soft Bug Guard line as mosquito repellent if that is specifically what you are interested in.

Many people prefer to use the Skin So Soft Bath oil on their dogs because it has proven effective for them and leaves a great scent. The same can be said for humans!  It keeps your skin silky smooth and also keeps the bugs away, while you are enjoying the outdoors.

If you are a dog owner, Skin So Soft Bath Oil is perfect for your mascot because it repel fleas, ticks, flies and other annoying bugs safely, is economical to buy, it has multi-uses and most importantly, it is chemical-free!  Simply mix the Skin So Soft bath oil with a little water in a separate bottle to use just for your pet.

No more worrying about having your dog outside, especially when warm weather hits!  You both can use Skin So Soft, so stock up now!

**UPDATE:   This update is for those who ask if Skin So Soft Bath Oil is hypoallergenic.  The bath oil is just that, a bath oil that contains jojoba seed oil and leaves skin (and fur) feeling silky smooth without irritation. The original Skin So Soft Bath Oil has very few ingredients, so the chances of allergic reaction are slim.

The Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus line (sunscreens and insect repellents) is hypoallergenic and pediatrician-tested. It is also an EPA-registered insect repellent and sunscreen product. 

If you just want to try a small version of the bath oil, you can always try the original Skin So Soft bath oil in a spray pump.

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM MOSQUITOES AND ZIKA VIRUS

 If you have been watching the news you have probably already heard about the Zika Virus. Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that only causes mild, flu-like symptoms in most people. But it can cause severe brain-related defects, including disastrously small heads, if women are infected during pregnancy. Zika is spread mostly by the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes) species. These mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters. They can also bite at night. The most dangerous thing about Zika is that it can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Infection during pregnancy can cause certain birth defects. There is no vaccine or medicine for Zika at this time.

Personally, this whole mosquito thing has me a "bit" nervous considering, I live in Florida and so very close to the Everglades.  My best recommendation is that if you have young children, just remember the basic rules to try to avoid the dangers of being infected by a mosquito, that may carry the Zika Virus, not only for your kids but for you as well!

The best way to prevent Zika is to prevent mosquito bites.

1.Use EPA-registered insect repellent. It works!
2.Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
3.Stay in places with air conditioning or window and door screens.
4.Remove standing water around your home.

Many areas in the United States have the type of mosquitoes that can spread Zika virus. These mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters and can also bite at night. Also, Zika can be passed through sex from a person who has Zika to his or her sex partners.

If you are pregnant - 
If you are pregnant and have a partner who lives in or has traveled to an area with Zika, do not have sex, or use condoms the right way, every time, during your pregnancy.

Pregnant women should not travel to areas with Zika. If you must travel to one of these areas, talk to your healthcare provider first and strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites during your trip.

The Florida Department of Health has already identified an area in one neighborhood of Miami, where Zika is being spread by mosquitoes, and most recently, there has been a case reported in Palm Beach, and Tampa, FL as well. Florida’s caseload of Zika spread by Miami mosquitoes has risen to 25, and U.S. health officials continue to warn pregnant women to avoid the infection zone despite the governor’s assurances that the area of concern is shrinking.

Florida’s Department of Health says active transmission has been only happening in a 1-square-mile area encompassing Miami’s Wynwood arts district.
