INTRO: A MIDGES’ WORST NIGHTMARE — AKA, YOU
🦸♂️
Picture it: the Scottish Highlands. 🏞️
Sunset streaking the sky with orange and gold. 🌅
The smell of campfire sausages sizzling. 🔥🌭
You’re parked lakeside, cider in one hand 🍺, Bluetooth speaker pumping out some Depeche Mode 🎶, and — OH NO — here comes the black cloud of doom: THE MIDGES. 🦟🦟🦟
But wait. Are you worried? Heck no.
Because you, my friend, are armed with the legendary weapon of soft-skinned warriors everywhere:
✨💦 AVON SKIN SO SOFT 💦✨
The moment you slap it on, the midges sniff… recoil… and whisper in their tiny, midgey language:
“Forget it, lads. Not tonight.” 🙅♂️
📜
CHAPTER 1: THE ORIGIN STORY
🦸♂️💥
Avon Skin So Soft wasn’t made to fight insects.
It was made for ladies of leisure who wanted silky, pampered skin. 💅💖
But up in the Scottish Highlands, a remarkable discovery was made.
Hikers.
Fishermen.
Soldiers.
Dog walkers.
Grannies tending their roses.
They all noticed something weird:
“Everywhere I spray this stuff… the midges leave me alone!”
Cue word spreading faster than gossip at a campervan rally:
Avon Skin So Soft is the midge-fighting legend nobody saw coming. 🦟🚫💥
🌿
CHAPTER 2: WHY IT WORKS (OR, WHAT THE SCIENTISTS SAY WHILE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS)
🔬🤓
Let’s get nerdy.
Skin So Soft contains:
✅ Mineral oil – forms a slick barrier
✅ Jojoba oil – silky hydration
✅ Citronellol – a compound found in citronella plants, a natural bug deterrent
✅ Fragrance – smells like fresh laundry and flower petals had a lovechild 🌸👕
While DEET chemically confuses insects and Smidge blocks CO2 detection, Skin So Soft just… makes your skin so slippery the midges can’t get a grip.
It’s like coating yourself in a lightly-scented midge Slip ’n Slide. 😂💦🛝

CHAPTER 3: EPIC CAMPING TALES (TRUE STORIES!)
🎣⛺️
“On a fishing trip to the Lake District, I used Skin So Soft and had ZERO bites. My mate Steve looked like a human Braille sign by day two. I shared it with him. He owes me his life.” 🎣🐟
“Family camping in the Highlands — the kids were whinging about bites until we slathered them in Skin So Soft. Worked better than the fancy bug spray we paid £15 for!” 🏕️🧒👧
“British Army? Yep. We used it on exercises. Smelled like a bunch of spa therapists storming the hills, but it worked.” 💂🏻♂️💥🦟
💥
CHAPTER 4: THE ULTIMATE CAMPING GUIDE TO USING SKIN SO SOFT
🧴🦵
1️⃣ Spray generously on exposed skin — arms, legs, neck, behind ears, ankles, even the tops of your feet if you’re in sandals. 🦶😎
2️⃣ Reapply every couple of hours, especially if you’re sweating from that aggressive tent erection or dancing around the BBQ. 💃🍖
3️⃣ Pair it with:
✅ Long sleeves 👕
✅ Light trousers 🩳
✅ Maybe even a head net if you’re really deep in the midge zone 🕸️
4️⃣ Don’t forget: it moisturises too, so you’ll look like you just came from a weekend spa retreat. 🧖♂️✨
💰
CHAPTER 5: CHEAP, CHEERFUL, AND CHUFFING GOOD
🛍️💸
💥 Price: usually £4–£6 per bottle.
💥 Often on 3-for-2 deals.
💥 Available through:
Avon reps (think Karen from next door)
Avon UK website
Amazon (if you’re lazy like me)
Sometimes weird places like garden centres, farm shops, or even at Glastonbury 🌼

CHAPTER 7: MIDGES’ POINT OF VIEW (IF THEY COULD TALK)
🦟💬
Midge Dave: “Oi lads, fresh meat over by the fire pit!”
Midge Tina: “Nah, Dave, not that one. He’s Avon’d up.”
Midge Dave: “Damn. Smells lovely though.”
Midge Tina: “I know, right? Let’s go bother Steve.”
Midge Steve: screaming in the background
