You may have heard from a friend or from your leader (if you are an Avon Representative) to look up "101 uses of Avon Skin So Soft" or something to that effect. Here is a list that I compiled that should be very helpful in finding the Skin So Soft use you are specifically looking for. There are very likely more than 100 uses for Avon Skin So Soft, but it would be impossible to list them all!
These are not official or approved uses of Skin So Soft from Avon, they are uses noted by customers who have tried it outside the original use of bath oil and body moisturizer. Use your common sense in trying some of these applications (test a small amount first).
