Over the last couple of years we have gone from spray can insect repellents to the pump spray Off Skintastic Insect Repellent For The Whole Family. We always have a couple of bottles on hand.
As I am allergic to mosquito bites once I have been bit I almost immediate start swelling. My bites can get over the size of a 50 cent coin, and raise up 1/4 to 1/3 inch, they get hard and hot as well as itch. So we are always on the look out for mosquito repellent. The Off Skintastic Insect Repellent For The Whole Family comes in a pump spraybottle.
Before heading outside I shake my bottle of Off and spray just about every inch of me with the repellent (including my clothing) and then I smooth over the areas with my hands (for maximum coverage) that will not be covered with clothing. I also spray a small amount on my hands and put on my face avoiding my eyes, and mouth, but make sure you get your ears. I also spray a light mist over my hair. Those darn mosquitoes will get me where ever the repellent hasn’t been applied.
With living on the farm, it is important for us to have Off Skintastic on hand as there is always the fear of ticks. With working near the woods or in the fields my husband and I make sure we are completely covered with Off Skintastic.
I especially like it because it has a pleasant and not over whelming smell (you don’t smell like you just put a insect repellent on). Children and Adults do not mind using Off Skintastic, as it doesn’t have that annoying and over powering smell and doesn’t give you that greasy sticky feeling. It sprays on nice and evenly and does not stain your clothes (non greasy). It will keep away ticks, mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying and biting insects.
We always have our Off Skintastic Insect Repellent out and ready to use for working in the yard, near the woods or in the field, for working in the garden or flowers, or just relaxing and having a fry-out with friends. I am finally able to go outside and not have to reapply any more repellent for around 2 hours.
Compared to other Off insect repellents I prefer the pump spray over their spray cans. When shopping the other day I picked up the new Off Skintastic in the Family Care Towelettes, these will come in handy for the face and neck areas and for my grandson and also to keep in the the car or truck.
I have tried other so called repellents, Avon Skin So Soft and Cutter in a spray can they do not do the job that Off Skintastic does for my husband, myself, and guests.
The Off Skintastic Insect Repellent For The Family contains 5% Deet, Aloe, fragrance and Ethyl Alcohol. It comes in a clear (soft can be squeezed) plastic spray bottle with cap over nozzle. I like the clear bottle as I can see when when we are getting low and need to pick up another bottle.
I highly recommend the Off Skintastic Insect Repellent For The Family with the spray pump especially now with the scare of the West Nile Virus which can be carried by the mosquito, and also because it is easy to use, non greasy, won’t stain your clothes, and comes in a pump spray bottle with a pleasant smell.
Cost: $4.00 (6 oz bottle)
Can Purchase at any pharmacy or grocery store, price might very a little.
