two other things work on mosquito bites as well...

a freshly sliced onion or a dab of regular household ammonia.

I am a mosquito smorgasbord...that's how I know these things

I once mistook my wife's Nair spray bottle for underarm deoderant. I quickly realised my mistake...

Yeah, why not. I think people who know that the some of the skin care product can be sued for the different purpose. The only thing is that you have to look out for the correct method so that if something is not going well should not affect the product that i already in use. Also, i would like to add on that that it is better to use the skin care products for its main purpose only.
