Belle Fleur

Our Top Tips

• Avoid drying underwear and socks outdoors in late August and September when it is ‘chiggers’ season. These little red or orange bugs, (also known as harvest mites and ‘aoûtats’ in France), like moisture. So they tend to concentrate in hidden areas like waistbands, and even in socks and underwear drying outdoors. On dogs, they collect between toes or behind ears and although they’re practically invisible, they can cause severe itching in humans and dogs.

• Mix Belle Fleur cream or spray with your favourite high factor sunscreen lotion for dual protection against the strong rays of the sun and biting insects. Choose a sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays with an SPF of 15 or higher. Apply about 15 to 30 minutes before going outside, then reapply every two hours.

• Use the cream as a soothing after sun lotion – the mint and lavender have a lovely cooling effect. If you forget to use the cream or spray and the bugs get you, also use it as an ‘after bite’ cream to help reduce the swelling and itching.

Customer Reviews

“Great range of very effective natural insect repellent products. Bought extra last summer as gifts for family and friends who came to visit and they all loved them, especially the shower gel. I also purchased two beautiful light weight kaftans to wear over swimwear. They are extremely soft, easy to wash and great in the summer for daytime, evening or bedtime!” – Shirley Atkinson, Facebook Review

“I always get badly bitten by insects. I tried the body wash and cream – it worked. Pleasant smell and does what it says. I even took it with me on a tour of Malaysia. Not one bite. Never been known! Well worth a try.” – Carol Colborne, Facebook Review

“This cream is so pleasant to use. In a time when we are offered so many chemical solutions to problems like insect bites and allergic reactions, it is refreshing to find an uncomplicated product that is easy to apply. It smells good, without being overpowering, and does a thoroughly good job of keeping the pests at bay whilst leaving skin soft and moisturised. My husband gets allergic reactions to mosquito bites. This product is effective at repelling the pests, but smells so much nicer than the chemical alternatives! Would recommend anyone that wants to avoid being bitten to give it a go.” – Tracey Davis, Facebook Review
