Biting flies / insects

I go to the beach and when i return from the water all these biting flies come at me. Any tips to keep them off or recipes to keep them distracted? Thank you!

Avon’s skin so soft worked for me without chemicals and softened at the same time.

I got bit a few times on Friday so this thread is perfect timing for me. I was wondering if the Avon skin so soft is phototoxic. I have fairly sensitive skin and getting to where I can be in the sun for a period of time is a tanning process each year. I want to be in the sun but don’t want to put something on that will act as an accelerant where I get a sun burn. Does that make sense?

I don’t believe it is and haven’t had any issues with it.

I picked up some off brand repellent and that worked well. The wind certainly helps too
