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)

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
