next.

lost in bathing and has the added benefit of repelling insects.
80.
Flea
Repellent: Avon's Skin So Soft 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.
81.
Does anyone use the Avon Skin So Soft bath oil on their chows? I have
begun using it on Chancey and it has done wonders for her skin. Like,
many chows, she has very dry and flaky skin, especially for being
black. Since I started using that product, her dandruff and itchiness
has improved tremendously and her hair has become shiny and smooth.
It also serves as a great flea and tick protector. I use it about
twice a month and I just spray it on her. I really like it.
82.
I use the following on my horses and on my dogs when necessary.
1
cup Avon Skin So Soft bath oil 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup (or more)
water 5 cc of essential oil of citronella (from the health food store
NOT the type you burn to keep insects away that is available in a
drug store) Mix in a spray bottle. Straight SSS works well for
mosquitoes too but really makes your dog greasy.
12.
(Barns) Use of an inexpensive fly control spray or a diluted mix of
Avon Skin- So-Soft in water can be sprayed on barn walls and floor to
discourage insects from hanging around or to eliminate them before
putting in the new bedding. As time permits, and if you can keep your
goats out of the barn for a few hours - let the barn stand and air
out before re-filling with bedding.
83.
Rub on your hands before and after working with pets and farm
animals, takes away pet odor.
84.
AVON'S SKIN-SO-SOFT bath oil massaged directly into the skin of your
Rottweiler acts not only as a successful repellant and makes their
dogs smell good but helps prevent drying and itchy skin.
85.
A natural way to help cats with flea problems and flea allergies is
to rub Skin So Soft into the skin. Once a bug, always a bug. Fleas
don't like it either! Spread the word!
86.
Cats: SSS IS SAFE FOR FUR LICKING -------The SSS plus is safe as long
as it is the one without sunscreen.
87.
Don't overuse the SSS. I just use the lotion, and rub it into the
skin, not more than every few days. My cat's sensitive and we're
being careful. Common sense is the rule. Sprinkling Yeast on the cat
food helps, too. My cat's fur is medium-length; he's part Persian,
and he's doing fine, no ill effects from the SSS. You can check with
your vet to be sure if it's okay...
88.
SSS can be used as a hoof polish. This will put a nice shine to the
hoof without drying it. The farrier's wife will appreciate this one!
89.
SSS can be used as a muzzle, eye, a
SKIN-SO-SOFT
USES FOR HORSES :
nd
ear enhancer. Generally we used baby oil but it was so messy. I tried
SSS and it works great and still helps keep bugs away.
90.
I have a show mare that has allergies and also gets dry skin very
easily so I started giving her baths in SSS. What I do is bathe her
like normal and then I put a capful of SSS in a 5 gallon bucket of
warm water and sponge this all over her. Her hair coat dries silky
soft and she quits itching. Works for her.
91.
The bug guard towelletes we had last summer work great on the horse's
ears and around their eyes.
92.
When I have to band (braid) their manes I use the Techniques Oil
Sheen. It seems to help hold the braids a lot better and they don't
try to rub them out.
93.
The dry end serum works great in their tails as a detangler.
Everything I have mentioned here I use faithfully on our show horses.
The products are a heck of a lot cheaper than actual horse products.
People see me using these products at the horse shows and start
inquiring about them. I usually let them take my bottles and try them
on their horses at the show which usually ends up in a sale for me.
