Uses for Avon SSS Bath Oil and Dry Oil Body Spray

Disclaimer from source and for myself: Avon makes no claims to these uses. They have been gathered over the years from customers and reps and Avon or myself cannot be held reponsible for the results.

After many years working as an Avon rep I have come to learn which products are the tried and tested customer favourites. The ones that people buy time after time, recommend to their friends, and are genuine best sellers.One of my best ever sellers is the Skin So Soft range, and in particular, the dry oil body spray. The dry oil body spray comes in two fragrances- Soft and Sensual, or Soft and Fresh. It is in a 150ml pump spray bottle. To use, it is best applied after a bath or shower, while the skin is warm and just slightly damp. The non greasy oil helps to lock in moisture and is quickly absorbed into the skin. It leaves a lovely gleaming shimmer on the skin and smells gorgeous. But - over the years customers and Avon reps have discovered more uses for the dry oil body spray, and also the Skin So Soft bath oil, than just a moisturising treat for the skin.

Uses for Health and Beauty

Obviously, the dry oil body spray and the bath oil are brilliant at moisturising and giving your skin a lovely sheen

1. It can be used as a make up remover, including eye make up, but of course don't get it in your eyes.
2. It will soothe sunburn.
3. It makes a lovely massage oil as it slides easily and sensually over the skin.
4. It relieves itchy, dry skin and if you rub it into dry, cracked skin it helps to soothe and heal.
5. Mix about a capful into some liquid soap/ shower gel when you shave your legs, and the oil helps the razor to glide over the skin.
6. A small amount can be used instead of hair serum on dry hair to give added shine.
7. The oil will help to remove chewing gum from hair and skin

Uses around the home

1. Skin So Soft bath oil and dry oil body sprays are also useful around the home.
2. It removes crayon from most painted household surfaces. Very useful if you have small children!
3. Its a handy wood cleaner and conditioner
4. It removes the gum left from price stickers and labels on glass and plastic
5. It helps keep leather soft and supple, and can be used to remove scuff marks from patent leather shoes.
6. It cleans ink from hands and most painted surfaces
7. The oil is an excellent household lubricant and is handy for keeping the running rails of sliding doors smooth, for separating glasses and bowls that are stuck together, and for fitting pipe joints that are not sliding easily together
8. If you run out of fabric softener add a capful of bath oil into the wash
9. If there is a bed wetting accident, spraying the bedclothes with dry oil before washing will help bring back a clean fresh smell

Insect repellent

The Soft and Fresh Dry Oil Body Spray is well known as an insect repellent, although has never officially made this claim.

1. Add a capful of Skin So Soft bath oil when bathing rather than just applying directly to the skin, so the entire body is 'treated'.
2. As a bug repellent it can be sponged around doors and windows to help deter 'creepy crawlies'.
3. Mix one part Skin So Soft oil with two parts water and spray onto tomato plants to repel tomato worms. Repeat every few days.
4. If you have door and window screens a light spray of Skin So Soft will deter the tiny gnats and flies that are small enough to slip through.
5. The insect repelling properties and oily formula also work really well on head lice. Rub lots and lots and lots of it into the hair. Leave it for at least fifteen minutes, and then comb through the hair with a fine toothed nit comb. The oil may help to loosen the nits (the tiny white eggs), but it should be especially helpful in removing the lice as it makes the hair too slippery for the pesky things to cling too. Obviously wash the hair thoroughly afterwards, and repeat the process regularly. It might mean that you dont have to use a harsh, chemical based nit shampoo.

Even useful for pets and horses

1. Its an excellent insect repellent for pets. Mix five parts water and one part Skin So Soft and lightly spray a mist over your pet, obviously avoiding the eyes. Brush it in for a gleaming coat.
2. After giving a flea bath with tick or flea shampoo, a final rinse with two gallons of water, a little flea shampoo and a cupful of Skin So Soft oil will replace the oils lost during bathing.
3. Rub Skin So Soft on your hands before and after working with pets or animals. It will help protect your skin and eliminate strong smells
4. Skin So Soft can even be used as a hoof polish!
5. if your horse suffers with dry skin, then after washing make up a final rinse of one capful of oil to five gallons of water and sponge over the hair to achieve a silky soft finish.

But most of all its a skin treat for you...

Ultimately, Skin So Soft is a best selling range because it treats the skin so well, leaving it soft and cared for.

Skin So Soft bath oil and dry oil body spray are approved by the FDA/ CDA only as bath and body oils. Remember to use these tips with care and common sense. Avon makes no claims to these uses.
