In a Hurry...Avon Skin So Soft

You guys know of anyone that stock this stuff. Avon can't get it out in time.

Thanks in advance

I think the only place you can get it is from Avon. I was told I had to order online and got it a few days before I left. Maybe I was told wrong and someone can help or send you some. When do you leave? I have some left I could send you but it will take 5 or 6 days to get to you.

I probably have some around as well, but I use the combo sunscreen lotion and bug repellant, not the spray-on that some like.

I'm suprised they can't expedite it for you (for a large fee).

A local Avon lady said there are three Skin So Soft products and wanted to know which I wanted. Does anyone have an answer to this?

There should be some local dealers in the area..
Check with the local schools the female educators sometimes hand out booklets for parties...

This is the one I use, but some prefer the spray-on variety:

They have almost constant sales and specials so I usually pick it up for $5 a tube. For me, twice a day it the ticket but in heavy tsetse country maybe more is needed.

Edit: Their website offers next business day delivery and also has a place to find a local representative.

If you buy online, they wil email you constantly about their sales!

Use Enough Gun

That's the one that you want. If you have a mall in your area, check the Avon Kiosk or store often found in malls. That's where I picked up some bottles last year. Usually there's a ton of Avon reps selling their products. Someone close by has got to have some of it left over from the summer sales.

Will pay for shipping overnight and pay anyone who has some of the lotion.

Please PM me if anyone can help. I will be back at the computer around 10PM CDT tonight.

I will respond and send check, cash, credit card, ect.... anyway you want it...

Thanks for the help.

I checked and I do not have any unopened bottles, but an assortment of partially-used ones. No, I can't explain that!

I also have some of the "blue" kind. Primarily for kids, it goes on blue so you can see where you missed applying it. The kids say when you rub it in the color goes away...

If you do not find what you need and can pick up or arrange pick up in the Dallas area let me know.

I have one 1/2 bottle left but there is no way I could get it to you in time from Alaska. Sorry.

I'm hoping your wanting it for its bug repelling ability!

Try Johnsons Skintastic, it works really good, even on the evil Tetsi fly..

MJines,

You have a PM....

Skin-so-soft works a bit but not completely or for long and I did not find that it was worth it to use the stuff over the course of a long day. On a 21-day hunt I pulled it out one day but never used it again.

I have to admit that I mostly used it because it had sunscreen in it. I'm used to biting bugs in Alaska that are as bad as anywhere else. The tsetes didn't really bother me...they sting for a second but so do the bugs we have up here.

If you're still looking, there's a ton of it for sale on eBay.

I am sure if you contacted the seller you could arrange overnight shipping.

Just make sure you don't get the bikini wax version!

Jim beat me to answering your question -- but -- I have been buying it on sleezbay.
