With just a ten minute soak, Skin So Soft does the trick

unnamed

Just as it is named, “Skin So Soft Bath Oil” does what it says.  Just a 10 minute soak with less than a capful actually does the trick.  I took a little time to rub my heels, elbows & around my cuticles while in the tub because those areas seem to become the roughest through wear.  The scent is pleasant and soothing which tended to lull me into soaking longer than I should, so beware!  I noticed that my hands felt like I had just applied lotion and as the rest of my body absorbed the oil, my skin was left very soft.  One word of warning, take extra care in getting out of the tub.  If you move to your feet unaware, you may slip……just a word of caution.  I didn’t have any trouble but the thought did cross my mind that my entire body had now had an oil treatment, including the bottoms of my feet.

The fragrance lasted after the bath and so did the smooth silkiness of my skin.  It really made such a difference that throughout the day, I kept checking my skin.  It did not feel oily, but it did feel soft and smooth.  I swim at the gym pool so the chemicals probably rob my skin of some of its natural oils.  I really didn’t think about this until I felt the wonderful difference that this bath oil made.  This is a great product that I would recommend for anytime that your skin has that tired, dry, rough feeling.  Summer is on it’s way though so “Skin So Soft Bath Oil” just might be the remedy you need between those summer activities.  It made a huge difference in the feel of my skin, so give it a try; see what it does for you.  I plan on making it part of my overall skin care regiment.
Call your local Avon dealer today to order your “Skin So Soft Bath Oil”.  If you are lucky she might just have some on hand.  If you don’t know a representative, try shop.avon.com

Skin So Soft with Jojoba Oil is Better Than Ever

unnamed

I remember when I was young, one of my mother’s favorite bath products was Avon’s Skin So Soft Bath Oil. The two things I remember the most was the fabulous fragrance and her telling me to only use 1 or 2 capfulls in the bath water. Fast forward 40 years later and Skin So Soft is still one of her favorite bath products. Skin so Soft products have come a long way since it was introduced in the early 60’s. Did you know that Skin So Soft is the most recognized product in Avon’s history?

When I asked my mom if she still uses Skin So Soft, her response was “Don’t buy me any, I already have two bottles and, by the way, it works great for keeping the mosquitoes away”. I can’t argue with her there, I know many people who use Skin So Soft, whether it be the oil, lotion or Bug Guard, they swear by it. I do admit, I already own my own stash of Skin So Soft Bug Guard but I wanted to try the bath oil to see if it had the same great smell and if it still made my skin feel soft and silky after a bath. I can Assure you, the fragrance is still fantastic and the bath oil did a remarkable job making my skin feel, well, so soft!

Not only is Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil as I remembered it, it is now better than ever. The Skin So Soft Collection is new and improved and with the added replenishing and softening oils, Skin So Soft is more luxurious than ever. Skin So Soft Original Collection is now formulated with Jojoba Oil which works to condition your skin throughout the day. Skin So Soft has 7 products in the Original Collection:

Shower Gel, Gelled Body Oil, Body Lotion, Bath Oil Spray, Creamy Body Wash, and 2 sizes of the Bath Oil.

You can find the entire Skin So Soft Collection at shop.avon.com

Avvan also has a remarkable history and you can read more about it here:  avoncompany.com/aboutavon/history

Skin So Soft is a Camper’s Dream, “No Itching Allowed”

 

image003-2

 

My daughter Adrienne is packing for a 5 day camping trip. As we went through her list it appears that she remembered everything except the BUG REPELLENT!  “What kind of Bug Spray should I pack?,” she asked and without hesitation I replied, “Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus”.

I recentlty picked up Avon’s Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus with Picaridin and Bug Guard Plus Expedition which contains SPF 30. Both products are insect spray repellents which I like because the sprays  are easy to use with no mess.  Avon Skin-So Soft Bug Guard Plus is a must-have accessory when camping, at the beach, by the pool, or for any outdoor activity. Seriously, who wants to deal with the discomfort of  itching due to pesky insect bites.

SKIN SO SOFT Bug Guard Plus Expedition™ SPF 30*  provides 2-in-1 protection by protecting your skin from the sun and repelling pesky insects like mosquitoes and deer ticks. Bug Guard Plus Expedition™ SPF 30 is DEET-free and is formulated with Vitamin E,  repelling  mosquitoes for up to 8 hours. Bug Guard Plus Expedition  is available in an Aerosol and Pump spray.

SKIN SO SOFT Bug Guard Plus with Picaridin is formulated to protect your family when mosquitoes are more active , between dawn and dusk. Also DEET-free, Bug Guard Plus Picaridin also provides long-lasting protection against deer ticks and mosquitoes.  Let me remind you that deer ticks may transmit Lyme Disease and mosquitoes may transmit West Nile Virus so it is important to always be prepared for the outdoors. Bug Guard Plus Picaridin is available as an Aerosol Spray, Pump Spray, or Towelettes.

A variety of  Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard products can be found at shop.avon.com/product. Protect yourself and your loved ones this summer with Avon Skin-so-Soft Bug Guard Plus!

Get Into the Spring of Things with Avon Eyeshadow Quads

th-6

I love the colors in the Avon Eyeshadow Quad!  I tried the “Freshcut Greens” and the colors blended smoothly with no dividing lines or creases.  The colors are perfect for me which helps me to really love this quad.  Four compatible colors come packaged in a locking compact with a nice mirror that is large enough to actually see what I am doing.  Avon was thoughtful enough to put a small diagram on the back suggesting how to use the four colors most effectively.  Never hurts to have a little guidance for those of us that are used to only wearing one or two colors.  Of course, it is always nice to read “Made in the USA” on a product when I am spending my hard earned money.  Thanks Avon for a really nice product!

AVON Is Where The Glow Is

Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls was a treat to try. I am always looking for the perfect bronzer, and I was surprised with this one. Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls has cream and bronze colored pearls in a cute jar. Just swirl your blush brush a few times, tap, and apply to your face were the sun would naturally hit.

You will have a perfect summer healthy look, even in the fall or winter. The best thing I found with Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls is that it allows you to add the perfect amount of color without looking TOO bronzed. Ladies, you know what I mean. Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls is a great bronzer! http://shop.avon.com
