'Tis mosquito season at our hot and humid farm. Working in the garden, playing in the yard, or simply watching a bit of TV (yes, I get to once in awhile) brings about opportunities for the icky skeeters to harass my family and leave those nasty, itchy welts all over our bodies.
As if the irritation wasn't enough, reports of West Nile Virus have us more than concerned for the safety of our family. Is there any option for protection that isn't as oily or stinky as conventional bug sprays?
When we had the chance to add OFF! FamilyCare Smooth & Dry Insect Repellent to our list of products to review, I was psyched. From the makers of Skintastic, this was ONE product that wasn't going to wait its turn before I got around to trying it. I sprayed some on before my very late (11 p.m.) weeding routine in my overgrown garden, and headed out into the night. I could hear them buzzing around me -- but not one mosquito touched my skin!
How is this formula of OFF! better than others? In addition to the superb protection it offers, the smell is rather pleasant (just don't breathe it in, people.) But the best part is how it doesn't leave you feeling heavy, sticky, and like you just stepped out of a corn syrup fight. It really is dry. It really is light. It really does feel like a dusting of powder!
The fine mist comes out of the spray can with ease, so there's no goofs (like accidentally spraying into the eyes or mouth.) An effective way to ward off unwanted visitors, we give OFF! top shelf space in our outdoor arsenal!
For more info on the complete OFF! line, visit their website at OffProtects.com! (And for more great product info on OFF! products, check back with us for a review of the new OFF! Powerpad Lamp.)
Want to win some OFF! gear? Just visit the OFF! website from now until Monday, June 30th at 11 pm CST and comment here with the OFF! product you would like to try most! We will randomly pick 2 lucky winners to score some Smooth & Dry for their own family (as well as one of those cool Powerpad Lamps we mentioned). Giveaway subject to site rules.
Sounds like family care smooth and dry is a great product. I hate stinky wet sprays that you breathe in.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the OFF! Powerpad Lamp and Lantern. We sit outside on our deck in the summer and the mosquitos can be horrible.

punkin?
ReplyDeleteThe Lamp is cool and stays off my skin
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the Smooth and Dry Off product. I have three young children that get eaten up from mosquitos. Smooth and Dry would be a safer product for them because it goes on dry. The stickiness of wet and oily bug sprays would irritate them causing itching regardless of the mosquito bites.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the family towelettes.

ReplyDeleteWe were just talking about trying something the other day. With the weather being so hot and humid nobody wants to go outside until dusk and then the bugs are just bad, bad, bad. I think the one that I'd like to try this summer is the Yard & Deck repellant.

DD is allergic to mosquitoes, and her bites swell up like golf balls. Would love to try the Family Care Clean Feel.

ReplyDeleteI would like to try the towellettes. Aside from keeping bugs off my kids the spray works really good at keeping flies off my dog but the towellettes would work better around her eyes and on her nose.

ReplyDeleteThe Off Smooth and Dry Repellent has got to be what I would want to try. I don't like the bug sprays and even the lotions that make your skin feeling sticky all day long. I like that there's a product out there that would change all of that. Thanks for a great opportuntity!
