Protect Yourself Against Mosquitoes That May Carry The Zika Virus With Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard Lotions

With warm weather season in full swing, the prime season for mosquito-borne illnesses like the Zika virus is back. This summer, proper protection is even more important as the threat of mosquito-borne illness continues to be on the rise.

Public health officials worry that the number of Zika infections will continue to climb in 2017 – a concern supported by a recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Vital Signs report highlighting the need for ongoing vigilance and sustained measures to prevent and manage cases of Zika. According to the CDC, the best way to prevent Zika is to protect yourself from mosquito bites with a regimen that includes using an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect product tested for repellency against mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus, like Avon SKIN SO SOFT BUG GUARD PLUS lotions. {Product provided for review/feature consideration}

Fun Outdoors with eco-armour™ “outdoor” botanical insect repellent body spray & moisturizer

While I enjoy the beauty of nature, I'm not exactly what you'd consider the "outdoorsy" type. Mostly because I hate insects (some might say I have a bit of a phobia, but I digress). Despite my aversion to the great outdoors, as a mommy I want to foster an appreciation for nature and the desire to play out in the fresh air in my children. Unfortunately, I think I may have unintentionally passed on my great disdain for bugs to London (and I can honestly say unintentionally because I go to great lengths to put on a brave face when she is present and we are confronted with a fly, spider, etc.). I tried really hard to not make my fear her fear, but to no avail; she freaks the heck out EVERY time she even thinks she sees an insect out of the corner of her eye. Needless to say, convincing her to play (and stay) outside can be a hard fought battle.

That all kind of changed this weekend when we tried eco-armour™ “outdoor” botanical insect repellent body spray & moisturizer...
