I'm searching for a good bug repellent (that includes west nile virus) and sunscreen for my children to use. I've heard Avon offers some good items but not sure what's best. Do you use one that works well and would recommend? Please let me know!
Thanks.

So What Happened?

I ordered the from avon and love their products! I've never purchased anything from them in the past but guaranteed to continue. I do wonder whether or not their bug repellent guards against the west nile virus though...does anyone know? The sunscreen I purchased is very light weight, low fragrance and my son loves it.

We really enjoy Avon's Skin So Soft line.
My whole family uses it.
I do still use Coppertone's Waterbabies stuff for the beach though.
We use the Skin So Soft when we are going to be outside, but not swimming.
I also let me children play outside in the morning without sunblock since sunblock interferes with the body's ability to absorb Vitamin D from the sun.

Hi M.,

I used to sell Avon and their bug repellent is great. However, I've read alot of articles saying not to use the combo repellent/sunscreen because sunscreen needs to be reapplied alot more often than bug repellent and apparently it isn't safe. I would recommend the Avon Bug Guard Plus that comes in the green can also.

Hope this helps.

I sell and use the Avon bug repellent line. I really like the Bug Guard Plus in the Cool and Fabulous scent as it doesn't have that repellent like smell. You can check it out at this link:

Dear M.,

I sell a sunscreen for $22.00 that is awesome for children. It is formulated with oats, aloe and shea butter oils. It is great on sensitive skin and a great naturla product that works!!! If you become a member for $29.00 for the year the product is 35% off.

Secondly, Avon does have a good bug repellent and sunscreen combination that works well - it is SSS product.

If you want to more about my product please email me at ____@____.com or if not, my second choice would be Avon.

Take care.

I happen to sell AVON & the Skin So Soft Bug Gaurd Plus Picaridin aerosol(product number 792-852) has a strong repllency against mosquitoes & deer ticks. Also the SSS Bug Gaurd Plus insect repellent SPF 30 sunscreen lotion is great for both. The lotion comes in Gentle Breeze (product number
047-960) & in Cool N' Fabulous disappearing color (product number 048-546)& are very water resistant, all are on sale for $4.99 each right now in campaign 12. I do have some in stock as well if your interested. Hope this helps!! My website is www.youravon.com/mstratford

my son is allergic to mosquito bites (go figure)
I use avon's bug guard plus (green aerosol spray only)
this is just me but I don't use the other that have sun screen and bug guard....for my child it does not work...the active ingrediant is lessened with the bug and sun products....what i do is sunscreen him up then apply the bug guard if the bugs are out..

I also buy avon products in bulk off e-bay even with shipping the cost per item is cheeper for example I just bought 6 of these cans yesterday and with shipping each can cost me 5.16 which is less t hen the sale price of 5.99 (which is a 4.98 savings...after a while it all adds up)

Hi M.,

I use the Avon Bug and Sun. It is a bug repellant and sun screen in one. Its waterproof, and my kids love the blue disappearing one. This helps to make sure you have not missed any spots. If you want to order some, I think you can go to www.Avon.com.
