Will this work as a bug repellent? I am using a product with DEET for my body but I wanted to get something I could use on my face.

It works for me and smells great. A friend went to Costa Rica with two giant bottles and it saved her from mosquito bites for her 2 month stay. Presumably it will work for you too!

It works for me!! I travel extensively in the Caribbean and you know they grow them BIG there..

yes it does. it works pretty good as a bug repellent. I use it for my neighbors dog, I dilute one part SSS with water and spray it on him n it helps keep the mosquitoes away. my neighbor uses it too to keep them off him. I also use it on my cats to help kill fleas. its a great product! I only dilute it for pets. hope this helps.

If you have sensitive skin it may irritate you. One of my sons complained about a slight skin irritation but I have had no problems other than that. If anything it may cause you to itch a little. Make sure after you spray you wait for product to dry before coming in contact with treated surfaces. If it gets on your skin wash it off immediately. People react differently to different products so use caution. NOTHING works better than this product, including expensive exterminators, so I hope you can use it without problems.

I would try it. I have used it on my face and it is wonderful. It is supposed to have healing properties. I know someone who did use it on a skin condition and it cured it.

Absolutely! It's a blend of essential oils in a fractionated coconut oil carrier. It actually soothes bites and stings when put directly on the skin! If you put a few drops on pulse points, it gives even more overall protection from bugs!

It does not repel mosquitoes; I have one dog that mosquitoes love, and it doesn't phase them at all. It hasn't worked that well for ticks either this yr. We are having a terrible problem with both this year in TN, and this hasn't helped much at all this year. And, the strong smell makes my one dog gasp/choke for a few minutes. But I haven't found anything else organic out there that works yet, so I keep using it.

according to the label it will repel all insects. I do have to say this is the best mosquito repellant I have ever used.

YES! It's great for ticks. I believe it was actually formulated to repel ticks. Good luck! We love it!!

I really don't know if skin-so-soft bug guard works on chiggers. I've sprayed it on before going into a horse pasture and haven't been bit by mosquito's, chiggers or ticks. maybe an accident, but I think it helps with any bugs.

I've had good results using this spray extensively in both Central America and the Tropical South Pacific. I did, however, get occasional bites, but I did *not* contract malaria. It's all a numbers game: It's about reducing, not eliminating, risk. You have to weigh for yourself the risks / benefits of DEET vs nonchemical repellents. I *can* with certainty, however, say this spray is no substitute for DEET when it comes to causing skin irritation or solvating plastics ;~P

I am not sure how long the product will remain effective but I use a fresh supply at beginning of season and it works well until September. If going to Caribbean I suggest 100% DEET only and fresh supply. Dengue and Chikungunya too dangerous to risk any bites.

I believe so. I've seen other posts where people have used it with shampoo, soaps, lotions and as a bug repellent.

It would do nothing for skin, and even probably be drying, honestly. It's got a lemon juice base, so it's pretty acidic. I used it over the summer when I was covered in mosquito bites and it HURT when I got it on those bites. So yeah, don't use it for skin. For hair, it's amazing.

It's reportedly a safer alternative to Deet.I've never tried Deet products but this works excellently!

Every product that I have used along with Blue Lizard has been compatible. I live in a wooded mountain area and use those products almost daily with BL. But, I never use products with Deet.

I personally would not use it on the face due to the sensitive nature of my skin on my face. This product causes redness and a rash, not something I want to show on my face.

I used it, and it works excellent on my face! But, if you have any problems, consult your dermatologist.

No it won't. Would help in fading out discoloration on your body. I don't use it on my face just my body. Hope this helps.
