Skin so Soft Memories


My very first memory of Avon dates back to my childhood. My father was an avid fisherman, he had boats and spent the better part of the summer out on the ocean. We always had a supply of Avon's Skin So Soft oil in the house as my Dad swore it was the only thing that kept the greenhead flies at bay!
Fast forward 40 years (I HATE to say that LOL!), Skin so Soft is still one of Avon's best sellng products but it is not only for the bugs! I found this list of all of the uses for SSS. Now as an adult, I am always looking for new ways to use products (saves me money!)
Check this out -

1.It's a Bath Oil.
2.It's an After Shower Moisturizer.
3.It can be used to remove Makeup.
4.It's a Suntan Oil. (It is not a sunscreen.)
5.Pour a little in the water of your Foot Saver to help moisturize your feet while you relax them.
6.It's a hot oil treatment to soften nails.
7.It's good massage oil for those sore, overworked muscles.
8.It repels insects for people and their pets (has been recommended in Outdoor Life, Field & Stream Magazines, plus Dear Abby.)
9.It helps relieve itching caused by insect bites and dry skin.
10.Sponge it on screen doors and windows to keep crawling bugs, as well as flies and mosquitoes OUT!!
11.It's a good cleaner, conditioner, and polish for natural wood. It cuts grease and dirt from kitchen cabinets with ease.

19.It removes lime and hard water deposits form windows, fixtures, shower doors, and tile.
20.It removes tar spots from car finishes without damaging the finish.
21.It's an oil lubricant for pipe joints that won't slip together as easily as they used to.

**Extra benefit ... while using it to clean, etc., SSS leaves your hands soft and smooth, unlike harsh cleaners.
