Shop Talk: Skin So Soft

For most people one of the things that comes to mind when thinking AVON is their original Skin So Soft oil. It is something I remember my mom using on me when I was a kid. She always said that it would help keep the bugs away while we played outside and it did! I also really love the scent of the original oil. I know many people don't like to use an oil on their skin so I thought I would share some other uses for Skin So Soft, the ideas on this list come directly from our customers. PERSONAL USES: 1. It's a bath oil and after shower moisturizer. 2. It can be used to remove makeup. 3. Great tanning oil (no sunscreen). 4. Hot oil treatment to soften cuticles. 5. Great massage oil for tired muscles. 6. Cleans off tape marks left from bandages on skin. 7. Cleans ink off the skin. 8. Insect repellent. -mom was not the only one who thought this :) 9. Helps relieve itching caused by dry skin. 10. Cleans oil and grease off of skin. 11. Painting something? Use Skin-So-Soft to remove paint from the hands. (Instead of turpentine). 12. It soothes light sunburn. 13. Rub hands with it before washing, it helps get them cleaner. 14. Rub on dry, cracked skin....helps heal skin in 2-3 days. 15. Put 1-2 caps full in liquid soap and use it for shaving legs and under arms. Helps razor glide and leaves skin feeling smooth. 16. Pour a little into your Foot Saver to help moisturize your feet while you relax them. 17. It removes chewing gum from hair, skin, and most non-pour us surfaces. 18. Cleans permanent ink off stamps.-I am a crafter and will be using this! :) 19. SSS Original Bath Oil works GREAT on Head Lice!!!!! Saturate head and let it set for 15 minutes. Then rinse under an outdoor faucet, but the lice were gone!!!!!!! Of course shampoo hair a couple of times to get the oil out, but the lice were gone and stayed gone! 20. It kills ants instantly. 21. Spray on skin to relieve dry itching skin. Helps skin retain it's elasticity. 22. Wash hair with shampoo and conditioner like always and after it dries....Use about the size of a dime of SSS and rub it in your hair. It goes straight in and leaves hair as shiny as the ads on TV, not greasy at all, just soft and shiny. 23. Use bath oil towelettes -- cover window sill with towelettes to keep ants out. 24. Bath use, fill bath water and a little skin so soft, very relaxing and helps get rid of dry skin. 25. This is to let the readers know about something that helped me for a mild case of psoriasis on my elbows. My internist recommended that I try Avon's Skin-So-Soft bath oil spray. I did and it eliminated the psoriasis on my elbows.
