As a mommy, nothing scares me more than when my kids are sick. When I read those stories of little kids getting dengue, I always pray that my kids don't ever get bitten by those nasty mosquitoes. Since we live in a high-rise, we don't have a problem with mosquitoes. But we found out that Iñigo is allergic to ant bites, like his bites will swell and harden horrifically, so we realized we needed to apply anti-bug lotion on him even when we're home.
I used to have those insect repellent oils and lotions and stickers but I disliked them intensely. They smell awful. They not only repel bugs, they also repel me! My kids disliked them, too. Vito would run away from me whenever I tried applying the lotion/oil or he would try very hard to peel off the sticker from his and Iñigo's shirts. That was how much they hated the anti-bug stuff. I was really desperately looking for bug repellents that we'd like.
Last year, I discovered Green Cross Insect Repellent Lotions when they asked to be a blog partner. I was hesitant at first and said I wanted tosniff test the lotions and see if they don't smell bad work. Apparently, I didn't need to like the lotions because they just wanted me to promote their Facebook app and their new website, so all I really needed to do was write blog posts about parenting, which proved to be some of my most popular posts. Here are a couple:
But I also wanted to let you all know that my family and I loved the lotions! There are three variants, available in both bottles and in sachets (so it's convenient to bring to the office, to school, on trips).
All the lotions have a light and smooth consistency so they are easy to apply, absorb fast, and don't get sticky and slippery. They smell clean, not like citronella or some other strong scent. It actually smells like Safeguard, you know, clean and fresh anti-bacterial soap! Best of all, it works. The kids' skin are not just moisturized, it's also protected from bugs and bacteria! Best insect repellents in my book!
