Avon Skin So Soft Review
Skin So Soft is more than just a bath oil. It is also a great moisturizer, insect repellent, makeup remover and massage oil. It can also be used in the house to clean and deodorize.
Folklore says British Marines stationed in midge-infested Scotland turned to Skin So Soft to stop midge bites, when regular bug spray was too greasy. Apparently this is true — and it smells good, too.
Moisturizes
Skin So Soft is a great moisturizer, it’s safe for all ages. After showering use a small amount of the oil on your skin and massage it in, it will make you feel great. It also helps keep your hair from getting brittle. If your hands or feet get very dry after working outside, a little bit of the oil will keep them feeling soft and smooth.
In the 1980’s, Avon promoted its product as an insect repellent. It is an effective insect repellent if used in conjunction with a flea dip. The exact formula of the bath oil can change without Avon changing the label, therefore its effectiveness as an insect repellent can vary over time.
Many people have used skin so soft as a bug spray, but the EPA warns that it can cause harm to pets and wildlife if used incorrectly. If you are going to use it on pets, a 1:1 mixture of the bath oil and water will work as an insect repellent, but it will not replace a flea dip.
Using Skin So Soft as an insect repellent has been very popular with hunters. It’s especially effective on ducks as it is one of the only bug repellents that will not cause their feathers to become brittle or discolored.
Skin So Soft can be used to remove makeup, and it’s also an excellent tanning oil (no sunscreen). It can be rubbed on dry, itchy skin to soothe it. It can also be used as a warm oil treatment to soften cuticles or as a massage oil for tired muscles. It can also be used to clean paint brushes and to lubricate pipe joints that won’t fit together (great for a mechanic’s hands). It can also be sprayed on rose bushes to keep deer away, and it can help with insect damage caused by wind. The oil can also be poured on wood to keep it from drying out. In addition, it can be sprayed on furniture to protect it from rain. It can also be sprayed in barns to keep insects from hanging around when cleaning out the barn and re-filling with fresh bedding.
Insect Repellent
Avon Skin So Soft has long been touted as an effective insect repellent, and it definitely works well enough to ward off mosquitoes and other biting insects. It’s cheaper than most insect-specific sprays, smells good and moisturizes the skin as it repels insects, and is perfect if you have sensitive skin or dislike the harshness of some DEET products. There’s even a version that contains icaridin, which is a natural alternative to DEET that is allowed in Canada but not in the US or the UK.
The best repellent in the Avon Skin So Soft line is probably the Bug Guard family size spray, which is a high-grade formula that works for up to 8 hours and is suitable for the whole family. This repellent contains picaridin, which is a scientifically proven and highly effective active ingredient that effectively repels mosquitoes, gnats, no-seeums, sand flies and biting midges. It’s also hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested, so it’s safe for children to use.
In addition to repelling insects, Avon Skin So Soft can be used as a make up remover, a dry oil treatment for the skin, and a massage oil. It also helps to smooth out uneven skin texture and has anti-aging benefits. It can also be used to help hydrate hair, as it has conditioning properties, and it’s great for eliminating frizz and taming flyaway hair.
As with any product, it’s best to test it yourself before relying on Avon Skin So Soft as an insect repellent. The effectiveness of the product varies from person to person, and while it does a good job, it doesn’t last as long as some other repellents. It’s also not as potent as some other repellents, and it takes longer to penetrate the skin than most other insect repellents. It’s still recommended to wear protective clothing, including socks and shoes when outdoors, and to apply the product frequently as needed. The skin penetration of this product is comparatively low, though, and there are no reports of negative health effects. It’s not recommended to spray directly on the face or ears, as it can irritate the eyes and throat.
Makeup Remover
Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil is an effective makeup remover, especially for waterproof mascara. Simply apply a small amount of the oil to a cotton ball or pad, and wipe away the makeup. The oil will moisturize and refresh the delicate eye area as it removes the makeup, and it will not irritate your eyes.
The oil can also be used as a nail polish remover. Add a few drops to a cotton ball or pad, and use it to wipe off the nail polish. It can also be used as a lip balm, and a small amount applied to the lips will keep them moisturized and soft. It can also be added to bath salts to create a relaxing and soothing bubble bath.
Other uses for this product include polishing wood surfaces, cleaning grease and dirt, and removing chewing gum from hair or carpeting. It can also be used as a hand cream, and it can be applied to relieve itching from insect bites.
Massage Oil
Skin So Soft is a versatile product that can be used in many ways. Originally marketed as a bath oil, it can also be used as a makeup remover, insect repellent, and massage oil. Moreover, the bath oil can be used to create a bubble bath, moisturize the skin, and as a lubricant.
Original Avon Skin So Soft contains jojoba oil and has a fresh herbal scent. The bath oil is non-comedogenic, non-greasy and provides 24-hour moisture. The oil can be used to moisturize the entire body and leaves it feeling silky smooth. The oil is a great addition to a bath and can be added to bath salts and body scrubs.
The bath oil can be used to remove makeup and is an excellent tanning oil (no sunscreen). It can be used as a hot oil treatment to soften cuticles and as a massage oil for tired muscles. It can also be used to clean ink off the skin and helps relieve itching caused by dry skin.
Another use for the bath oil is to lubricate small mechanical devices such as locks and hinges. It can also be used to treat minor burns and abrasions. The oil can also be used as a shoe polish remover and as an ingredient in homemade bath bombs.
To make a bath bomb, mix the bath oil with baking soda, citric acid, and a few drops of essential oils. Mold the mixture into balls and let it dry. Then drop one in the tub and watch it fizz and release the fragrance. Adding a few drops of the bath oil to a diffuser can help create a relaxing atmosphere in a room. The bath oil can also be used in aromatherapy. It can also be used in place of water in a humidifier.
