Avon Skin So Soft

Launched in 1961, the year in which I was born, Avon Skin So Soft has evolved from bath oil into an entire line of skincare products bearing the name. As the name implies, Avon Skin So Soft was developed to soften and condition the skin, but this product also has a wide variety of potential applications. Avon Skin So Soft can be used for cleaning and freshening, as well as repelling insects.
