A Refresher on the many benefits of Skin So Soft and all it's uses....it's isn't just for the bath anymore.
Ok, so on this week's blog I'm cheating a little bit and writing about something we all know already, but do you know ALL the uses for SSS? I didn't and that's why I thought this might be a good topic to revisit.
There are many websites that tout the benefits of using SSS bath oil but I decided to use this one for the simple reason that some of these I did not know about and I want to try them. In the interest of time and my hands I will not post all of them here but will provide the link so that you can check them all out at your leisure.
Let's start with #20 on the list.
#20. Kills Ants Instantly. I know that this is true. I sold it to a co-worker of mine that bought it just for that reason. She said the second she sprayed it on the little buggers it stopped them in their tracks and killed them instantly. My mom is going to get some now because she has ants in her house. Heck I would get it for # 56 alone ~ Kills Spiders~ I hate spiders but that's a topic for another blog at another time. Moving right along.
#22. Wash hair with shampoo and conditioner like always and after it dries.... Use a dime-sized dab of SSS and rub it in your hair. It goes straight in and leaves hair as shiny as the ads on TV, not greasy at all, just soft and shiny. I have not tried this one but I think I will tonight and report back. I really like the Moroccan Argan Oil but I'll try anything once....well almost anything ;)
#27. Sponge it around doors, windows, and on screens to keep crawling bugs out. I am definitely going to do this one. Going back to #56 where I HATE SPIDERS!
#37. Removes crayon from appliances and most painted surfaces. This would have been helpful to know back when my daughter was 3 and marked on every piece of furniture I owned and every wall in the house. But I have grandchildren and I'm sure they will feel the need to mark something up.
#54. Put SSS in one of those insecticide sprayers on the garden hose. Spray the back yard! This will cut down on ants, mosquitoes and fleas! This one is interesting and I would like to give it a try. Every year my animals are infested with fleas and we go running to the vet for the $70 flea medicine. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs so you do the math...EXPENSIVE. I read on another list that if you bathe your animals and give them a SSS rinse that it will repel the fleas. This is something we are doing tomorrow because although they don't have fleas just yet one of our dogs has a terrible allergy to his own skin and it gets really bad in the summer time and I'm hoping this will help him feel better.
#58. Add a capful to wash water of clothes...acts as a fabric softener and keeps the bugs off clothes. I'm not sure really how this would work but I'm willing to give it a try.
#69. Also if you ever make candles, use clear melted wax and put SSS in as it harden. Works great for outdoor use to keep the mosquitoes away. This is a great idea for all you crafty people. I can't believe I never thought of this. NO more fighting the mosquitoes at a backyard summer party and no more smelling those awful repellent candles...YUCK!
#79. Flea Bath: Use a flea and tick shampoo. Rinse, rinse, rinse so no soap residue is left. Follow with final rinse of 2 gallons of water mixed with flea dip and 1 capful of SSS. The SSS helps replace the oils lost in bathing and has the added benefit of repelling insects.
#80. Flea Repellent: Avon's SSS Bath Oil. 1-1/2 ounces per gallon of water; used as a sponge-on dip (or as a spritz) has been tested and proven to have significant, but not complete, flea-repellent activity for a 6-day period. It should help those dry coats, too.
And my husband's personal favorite.....#99. It removes tree sap.
I love products that have more than one use and Skin So Soft really does have many uses. I'm sure some of you have found some that are not on this list so please if you know a use for SSS that is not on the list that I posted; Post a comment and let us know.
