I have always been a user of
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) since I was in High school. My mother introduced me to VCO
and she has instilled in me the benefits that come along in taking VCO on a
regular basis. I have tried various brands of VCO but I am currently impressed
with this VCO by ProSource International, Inc.
ProSource International, Inc is
the leading brand and primary source of Virgin Coconut Oil in the Philippines.
Aside from VCO, the company has also ventured into products like the Calming
Oil and Virgin Coconut Soap.
(Extra Virgin Coconut Calming Oil)
My Personal Application: I put
this on my forehead in three parts – on the left, right and middle forehead. I
make sure I put it as far away from the eyes as possible – almost on the
hairline part of the forehead. I roll it on those parts sort of like an inch of
a line and I massage my forehead afterwards.
The Calming Oil will be available
soon in drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.
(Organic Coconut Soap)
What I like about this soap is
that despite it being made from Coconut, it does not have that strong to
pungent coconut smell that other coconut soaps have. I personally don’t like
the smell of strong coconut because I sometimes get a headache from that
particular scent. I can really feel that it moisturizes my skin after every
wash.
My Personal Application: I lather
it on to my face and body for around 2-4 minutes (if I have the luxury of
time). With the aid of a bathing glove, I massage it around my body in circular
motion. Rinse it off afterwards.
Tip: Cut the soap into half so
that it won’t melt the entire thing. The soap lasts longer that way.
ProSource Organic Coconut Soap is
available at select Mercury Drug Stores at only 85 pesos.
(Virgin Coconut Oil)
I really love the effect of VCO
on the body. VCO can be used in a lot of ways. It can aid in weight loss, help
clean make up brushes, used for hair care, a natural make up and lipstick
remover and also an energy booster.
Same with the soap, the VCO does
not possess any strong coconut smell. Other VCOs that I have tried before have
that (what I consider) awful smell that I dislike and they even taste funny. It actually smells like Baked Macaroons, which is one of my favorite desserts. That's why the smell doesn't bother me at all.
My Personal Application:
For
Weight Loss and as Energy Booster – VCO helps in aiding weight loss by speeding
up metabolism in the body. I take two tablespoons a day before breakfast. I
actually notice that I’m not hungry all the time compared to days wherein I
don’t take VCO. I have also noticed that I am not as tired as before when I take
VCO.
For cleaning of Make-up brushes – I put a table spoon of VCO to two tablespoons of Anti-Bacterial soap or an anti-bacterial facial wash (since the brushes are used for the face), mix both ingredients and this becomes my make-up brush cleansing solution.
For Hair Care – VCO helps in maintaining the natural shine of the hair and it also makes the hair softer. What I do is that I put a palm full of VCO on my head and I massage it on my roots down to the tips of the hair. I put on a shower cap, leave it on for 45 minutes to an hour and I wash it down with shampoo and conditioner.

As make-up remover – I put a little bit of VCO onto a cotton pad and gently wipe in on my face, targeting the areas where make up is very concentrated. After a few wipes, I wash my face with my facial wash and the make up easily comes off. This also goes for removing lipstick.
VCO is not only
limited to the ones I have mentioned above. The only side effect in taking VCO
that I have read online is the allergic reaction one gets if that person is
allergic to coconut. But aside from this, it’s more of positive reviews and
also positive results based from personal experience. VCO has tons of benefits
for the body and it is a must that everybody must take this.
