[iwannabeasupermodel]

[chichi143]

[catwoman]

I'm using Kaluwi Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

[domestic diva]

I was disappointed with the emu oil I bought online years ago so I was hesitant on
Purchasing another bottle from Sesou. I did notice that the oil didn't leave a greasy feel
After I massaged it on to my toddler's insect bite. Will check tomorrow if the bite has subsided.

Am hoping that it will work on my teens' zits as well!

I really like using VCO for the hair, I color my hair frequently and its gotten to a point where it's bihaghag & dry.

I've tried different treatments and nothing works with the exception of VCO and Kerastase. Eh since Kerastase is pricey, my default hair treatment is the VCO.

I pour a small amount in my palms, rub together and apply on my hair. If I have time I let it sit for a few hours, if not then 15-30 mins will do. I just shampoo twice to make sure the oil is rinsed thouroughly & then apply a light conditioner. My hair comes out super duper soft and tangle free.

For my face I've been using Argan Oil for the past almost 2 years, but I recently discovered the HHN Sunflower oil which is a good alternative as well. I use the HHN Sunflower oil in the AM as my moisturizer and make up base because its a bit lighter than the Aran Oil. Then at night I use the Argan Oil as the night moisturizer. So far my skin seems to be receiving both oils well. I've received comments on how small my pores are, my skin has lightened a bit (the dark spots) and I have a dewy glow - similar to the effect of using a highlighter.

Kaya I'm very happy with the products, best of all they're organic and have no chemicals

[Ireneeeeee]

been using sunflower oil too for as long as I can remember. All purpose sya for me. hair, face,body, insect bites, anti itch, etc. I also love argan oil. I love the scent and how it moisturized without the stickiness.

[mariebiscuit]

add ko lang ok din sa under arm ang sunflower oil for me,,no smell,,whitens my under arm naturally

^i'm just waiting for my friend to arrive from the UK, she will give me a bottle of Bio-Oil that she bought there.

for me, i am a loyal user of sweet almond oil. i use it as my make-up remover, body oil, lip balm, use as scrub (mixed with lemon and sugar), deep conditioner and facial moisturizer when sleeping. since almond oil also has a lightening effect, i use this on my underarms as well, groin area and buttocks. super sulit for me this oil. you can check videos on youtube sobrang dami uses. 

[yapeegurl]

babyboo.0326, oh! I didn't know UK carries Bio Oil din. We have it here in SG pero super mahal. I hoarded sa Japan kasi they carry the bigger bottle pero half the price ng small bottle in SG.

I'll google your sweet almond oil Thank you!

[mariebiscuit]

@babyboo san mo nabili sweet almond oil mo?

[babyboo.0326]

yapeegurl, yup, they do  talaga? siguro dipende where you are no and the taxes pa kasi involved getting the product.

sure 

mariebiscuit, i ordered sa islas aromatics. they have a shop naman sa libis, beside jang geum. kaso their business hours won't fit mine kaya i had my almond oil delivered nalang

Using rosehip oil for almost a month na. minsan tinatamad ako maglagay... pero I think at least 3x a week ko siya ginagamit.

kalahati or less na lang yata yung 50ml bottle na ginagamit ko.
hmm, I like it! Unlike yung dati kong ginagamit na moisturizers pag gabi, pag umaga eh hindi ako oily dito sa rosehip oil and mukhang fresh pag gising
minsan nilalagyan ko din lips ko PARANG medyo pink siya pag gising ko rin.

Will continue using this. actually nag-take ako pics ng face ko nun para i-document kung may improvement sa acne scars.... we'll see pagkatapos ng 1 month

[yapeegurl]

^Same tayo sis. I also use Rosehip oil. Pero ako at night as my moisturizer. Ikaw ba during the day? Renew yung brand ng rosehip oil ko.

[etra.ph]

minsan pag umaga din po sis kasi nabibitin ako dun sa myra e na moisturizer/sunblock ko. medyo dry pa rin mukha ko kaya ang ginagawa ko po eh rosehip oil muna then after a while yung myra e na po.

[mariebiscuit]

hindi me hiyang sa rosehip oil....nagkaka bumps ako sa skin...

[etra.ph]

hi po sis mariebiscuit.. sayang naman, ganda pa man din effect. oh well least nahanap mo po yung hiyang sayo, which is shark oil right?
