You can buy Skin So Soft direct from the Avon site and it's as cheap as chips. I've been buying it for at about 20 years so it's an old (and best-selling) product. Most definitely works as a mosquito and midge repellant and it's shipped in bulk to by the British Army serving all over the globe.

The best product is the dry skin oil, but personally I supplement this with the bath oil as I have dry skin. This two pronged attack works for me and I never get bitten. I don't think it works for everyone though. Here's a testemonial/discussion:

didn't know where this thread was heading but someone beat me to the wicked witch is dead.


I can fully wholeheartedly endorse SSS (Skin So Soft) as giggirl said, the BEST midge-repellent ever. I heard it was used by the military too but no idea whether thats true...Its sold extensively in the Scottish Highlands, don't buy any others..SSS is all you need.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
