The Best Sunblocks with Bug Repellent

Sunblocks that Repel Mosquitoes

Christina Majaski
Nothing messes up an outing at the lake more than getting attacked by bugs, and being a resident of Minnesota Land of the Mosquito, I am familiar with this party crasher. Try one of these sunblocks that repel insects and don't let bugs ruin your time in the sun.

Bullfrog Mosquito Coast with Insect Repellent

This top sunblock with bug repellent provides an SPF-30 for protection from up to 8 hours of the sun's rays as well as mosquito protection. It is available in a spray and is waterproof and has a citrusy grapefruit scent. Bullfrog Mosquito Coast can be found at Walmart and Target stores.

Off Skintastic Insect Repellent

The Off brand manufactured by SC Johnson may be one of the most popular brands of insect repellents, providing mosquito protection in every form from coils to candles to sprays. Off Skintastic has an SPF-30 for sun protection and just like the rest of the Off brand family, repels mosquitoes, chiggers, black flies and gnats. This sunblock has also been mentioned for possibly preventing premature aging from sun exposure because it moisturizes the skin. Off Skintastic Insect Repellent is usually found in the outdoor section of drugstores and discount stores.

Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR 3535

Also a known manufacturer of sunblocks and insect repellents, Avon Skin So Soft is probably even more well- known for the signature Skin So Soft scent. Bug Guard Plus has an SPF-30 and protects against West Nile and Lyme Disease from mosquitoes and ticks as well as added protection from other bugs. Order Skin So Soft Bug Guard from your Avon representative or online at Avon.com.

Coppertone Bug & Sun

The Coppertone tanning and sun protection products of Schering & Plough Corporation have been around for over 60 years. This sunblock has an SPF-30, protects against insects and is also hypoallergenic. Check Walgreens and other family drugstores for Coppertone Bug & Sun.

Buzz Away Lotion with Citronella

Although it only provides an SPF-15, Buzz Away Lotion with Citronella is still one of the best sunblocks with bug repellent available because it is one of the few sunblocks with natural insect repellents made with oils and ingredients like citronella and peppermint. Buzz Away repels mosquitoes, gnats and black flies and can be ordered online at Mothernature.com.

This summer when you plan your outdoor activities instead of buying and lugging around a bag full of skin products try one of these 2 in 1 sunblocks with bug repellents and protect yourself and your family from both at the same time.
