...years ago, claims that the Avon Skin So Soft, Soft and Fresh range was efficient at repelling the little blighters or should I say biters. Mmm I said to meself I must try it!
Normally when I go abroad on my jollies, word gets out to the mozzie population and they arrive at the airport just in time for me to alight from the plane. I am sure they line up just to take a good couple of bites each. They know are in for a good meal. "Mm look there's Susan, ... ...The first year I used Avon Skin So Soft, Soft and Fresh range, I bought practically the entire range as they had a special offer on at the time. They always have special offers on, but that was my justification for buying so much.
It dawned on me while I was waiting for my bumper parcel of goodies that if mosquitoes were repelled by it, then it might not smell so good to me either.
Obviously mozzies must have a different sense of smell to us - ...

...skin.
Browsing through my Avon catalogue I chanced upon their skin range called 'Skin So Soft and found they did a product called 'Dry Oil Body Spray'. This product promised to 'Lock in moisture after bath or shower. Non greasy, quickly absorbs into skin in a convenient spray', at the time of purchase last summer, the spray was on a half price offer and cost me £2.50 and currently the full price is still £5 for 150ml, pump action bottle.
Avon's ... ...feminine pink bottle. In the avon catalogue, the Soft & Sensual fragrance is described as being 'ultra moisturising and feminine'. I would describe the scent as softly musky yet slightly floral, although I am hard pushed to describe any particular fragrance notes as it seems to be a blend of fragrances rather than one individual scent.
The bottle is curved slightly and this makes it fairly easy to hold.
I started using this after a shower and there ...

Advantages: A nice light moisturiser, repells biting insects..yay! Disadvantages: Doesn't do anything for them devil spawn wasps
...this has to do with Avon Skin So Soft Dry Oil Body Spray. Well, last year while flicking through an Avon catalogue in the staff room at work, a colleague walked in and said ' Oh good Avon, I must get some skin so soft for the horses'. Yes, you read right, the horses. I knew my colleague was a huge animal lover, and owned a couple of horses she cared very much about, but pampering them with Avon products seemed a bit OTT. Until she explained that ... ...Product ~ My Avon order was delivered a couple of weeks later, and there in my bag was my Skin So Soft Dry Oil Spray. The bottle is pretty basic, being a mint pearlised green with a spray pump and holding 150 ml of product. There's not a lot of information given about the product on the bottle other than telling me it has 'Softness delivery system' and should be sprayed on after a bath or shower gel to lock in moisture (in 7 different languages). ...

...and Sensual fragrance. As an Avon rep I have to say the Skin So Soft range is probably a best seller of mine and there is often offers on this range. The bottle is a light green colour with a pump action spray. It has a clear lid. It's 150mls, which doesn't sound like a lot, but a little goes a long way. Often the right price for this is £5, but it was on buy one get one free recently, and I think last time it was half price, so it's a bargain to ... ...get a 90 day time in which you can return and get your money back if you're not happy with it. The blurb on the bottle says "With softness delivery system. Spray on after bath or shower to lock in moisture". I think this does what it says on the bottle. When you spray this it goes onto the area you spray to, and then spreads over a bit. You could rub this in I suppose, but it can be quite oily when it first comes into contact with your skin, so it's ...

Advantages: insect repelant without even knowing it. Cheap!! Disadvantages: can be a little greasy if too much is used.
...turkey and i bought this avon SSS dry oil spray (woodland fresh) in a green and white coloured bottle.
I thought it would be very handy in mosturising my skin at night after being layed in the sun all day and so it was, although i did notice that if i used too much it could be a little too greasy on my skin and slippery on the tiled floor the bottle gets a little greasy and slippery too but that is easily resolved by wiping with a dry cloth.

...WILL STING LIKE HELL
AVON SKIN SO SOFT DRY OIL SPRAY 150mls This oil is totally dry and does not leave any marks or smudges on your clothes. It helps soften your skin and is best applied after a bath or shower whilst the skin is slightly damp as this locks in the moisture. There is a very pleasant woody smell and the oil is clear. If you want a fresh 'just stepped out of the shower' smell this is pretty close. It contains citronella which is a lemon ... ...can buy it from an Avon representative, or you can now buy online, which can be easier, as if you don't want to feel obliged to make further purchases with your 'Avon Lady', once you start buying from them. The spray usually comes in 150mls and has a pump dispenser. A few years ago I read that this spray can be used as an insect repellent, as raved about by Mel Gibson. Yeah! I thought yet another con. I must say I am one of these unfortunate people ...

Where do I start with this product?
well i could start off by saying its fantastic!
I didnt even intend to buy this product,i was just looking for something to get free on a buy 1 get 1 free offer and thought id give it a go.
I honestly feel crap if i dont put this stuff on in a morning.
Its part of my beauty regime,i cover myself in talc then spray this stuff all over cos it just makes your skin feel so moisturised.
Its roughly 5 pounds a bottle ... ...get 1 and two for a fiver,which amounts to the same thing.
Its really girly too,in a seee through bottle with two tone oil which you shake to activate.
The scent of it too is great,to be honest i dont really use it to nourish my skin but purely for the fact that the scent is so light that it leaves a great scent to your skin that smells natural and you can smell it all day,even on your clothes.
After I apply this I often put Jean paul Gaultier ...

Advantages: moisturising, good spray bottle, price and added bonus of insect repellent Disadvantages: packaging a little dull.
...this after being told that avon dry oils spray acts as an insect repellent and when we were on holiday it must have worked as I didn't get bit, I also liked that it didnt smell of chemicals or make skin "tight" like some normal insect repellents.
Also very moisturising easily absorbed and good spray on the bottle - will definately be keeping this in my bathroom cupboard as both a moisturiser and insect repellent for when travelling abroad, also ... ...adults version but this was fab for whole family and not too girly smell for my husband.
Also I brought this when avon had it on special offer as they frequently do so don't pay full price (even though it is worth it) wait to grab a real bargain ! ...

...I glad I've found it. Avon Skin-So-Soft Dry Oil Body Spray may be a mouthful but apart from that it is a fantastic product that everyone should have on their bathroom shelf.

Advantages: Lovely smell, soaks in great, leaves skin looking great. Disadvantages: If it has been discontinued it's gonna be hard to find.
I really like the Avon moisturisers and this is no exception. Skin-So-Soft dry oil body spray is a fantasic great value moisteriser, I paid around £1.50 for it I think but that was on offer im guessing the usual price is more likely to be around £3ish. I use it when I come out of the bath and it really locks in moisture. It sprays on really easily and smells fab.
It comes in a plastic bottle with a spray top lid. It has the Avon logo and product ... ...actually seen this in the Avon books for a while so it may well have been discontinued and I haven't got much left so will be devestated when I can't find it! I will check on the Avon website and update when I get a chance. I do know there are other products in the Skin-So-Soft range and they are still available, so it could just be that the packaging has changed.
Overall I think this is a great product which keeps skin looking and smelling great.

THE DRY OIL BODY SPRAY
This product is in the skin so soft range, I bought the matching body wash in the same scent- the pink bottle.
I first unscrewed the spray- to smell it, and I thought it smelt like hair spray- which worried me, as I was intending on using it on just shaved legs!
However, I thought if it did sting- I could jump back in the bath! So, I tried ... ...under pits, as I wanted to try a different product there and compare.
The application was rather tricky, as it goes everywhere & being oil- I found myself slipping on my bathroom floor, and the side of the bath had to be cleaned too. It was really good for hard to reach areas- such as my back.
It is easily absorbed, and actually smelt really nice once on the skin.
The next day, my body wasn't much different- as in- compared to the other product ...
