Avon SKIN SO SOFT Original Bath Oil - 24 fl. oz.

Rec'd item when I was told I would recieve it. I would deal w/them again. Great service.

I've used Avon products off and on for years and I have to admit I have tried Skin So Soft on more than one occasion. I tried using less and less in each bath but the truth is that it is too oily for my skin. I love the smell of it but even when using a tiny amount in a full bath I feel like I just bathed in an oil slick. It also clogged my pores and I ended up with pimples on my back and thighs. So it's just not for me, a person who has normal skin. However, to be fair, my mother used to use it and she loved it but she had extremely dry skin. My recommendation is if you have very, very dry skin this can be a plus. Otherwise keep in mind the oily factor. If you're not sure of how your skin will react, try using baby oil in your bath first. It's a great softening agent in the same way as this product.

I have not really taken the time to soak in a tub for ages - I received this bath oil as a gift for Christmas and finally used it last night. It was fantastic! it is a little over the top on the oily feeling but I might have used to much in the water, and it did absorb into my skin rather quickly once I was out of the bath, leaving my skin very smooth. The fragrance was also very nice. I'll be using this again soon and buying more once I run out.

Here are a couple of non-conventional uses of Skin-So-Soft (SSS):
1. I use SSS after working on the car, before using soap, to cut the worst grease - even under the finger nails. Then use the soap and you're clean in minutes. This also works on paint brushes.
2. I also use SSS for cleaning brass and silver, along with a product like Bar Keepers Friend (BKF). Together, the SSS dissolves oils and holds the BKF in contact with the surface. This combo is non-abrasive and not caustic, and it works.

The ad shows two containers of Skin-So-Soft and gives you a choice of two seperate products. However when you order you receive not two but one.
This is very deceptive and I will no longer use Avon products.

Amazon needs to have this ad clarified or I will lose confidence in them.
