mosquitoes. Although 85 percent of adults believe citronella candles
are somewhat to very effective, traditional citronella candles only
repel mosquitoes from up to one foot away. If you are looking for an
area repellent that will keep your guests protected during outdoor
outings, try the easy-to-use OFF!(R) PowerPad(R) Lamp or Lantern. They
protect an area 15 times greater than a citronella candle/bucket,
which is equal to 225 square feet (the average size of a deck or
patio).
-- Avoid the poison of the sting. 23 percent of adults believe that if
they get a bee sting, they should squeeze out the stinger. Squeezing
the stinger may cause venom in the sac to get into your body. To
properly remove a stinger, do not pull out with your fingers or
tweezers because this will release more venom. Instead, scrape the
stinger out with your fingernail or a straight-edged object.

Award-winning make-up artist on "The View," offers quick and easy tips to

-- Stay hydrated. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day and more
when you are outside. Drinking water moisturizes your skin from the
inside out. Water is essential to maintaining elasticity and helps
prevent dryness.
-- Avoid the bite. Nothing is uglier than an armful of mosquito bites.
Ninety-two percent of U.S. women (3) want an insect repellent that's
light and quick-drying. OFF!(R) FamilyCare Smooth & Dry is a perfect
solution for feel-good mosquito protection because it's made from a
unique cornstarch formula that allows it to dry on contact. Plus it
has a pleasant tropical scent and is smooth on the skin.
