I have been using Body Flavors Pure Virgin Coconut Oil with Gugo Bark as my facial wash for several days now. One time after using the soap, I asked my youngest daughter to touch my face and she remarked “Wow, soft (soft = smooth) walang dots (dots = pimples)”. Of course, this soap is a rich blend or pure virgin coconut oil and gugo bark which aims to restore a more youthful looking skin (youthful looking skin = anti-aging product).

I love the Pure VCO and gugo bark soap! It is the best soap for sensitive skin I have tried so far.

My eldest daughter, a teenager, is always on the lookout for a good soap for skin problems. She tends to have pimples every now and then.

We have tried other natural products as well and she approves of this Guava and Orange soap that is she currently using. Why not? guava is said to be a rich source of natural astringents and orange makes the skin glow, just the right combination to detoxify the skin and treat skin problems common with teenagers.

When my Pure VCO and Gugo Bark soap runs out, I will try the other soap I got: Seaweed and Molasses with  Tea Tree, an anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial soap to help tone and cleanse the skin.

I thought at first that the soaps can only be ordered online but when I went to their site, I found out that these can be purchased at HEALTH BUFF WELLNESS SHOP located at Unit 212 (2nd level) Doña Anita Building E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue, Quezon City.

By the way, these soaps are wrapped in recycled paper.

One time, during a discussion about the skin in our Science lessons, my son asked me why is it that people who are bigger (read: fat) tend to have “lines on the skin”. I asked if he meant lines on the face and he said “no” and that he meant that skin texture of people who are on the heavy side.

We went online to look for photos of people with “lines on the skin” after our lessons. He thought these were skin diseases since at that time we were learning about the skin in his Science subject.

Cellulite. This is a new word he learned that day. He further asked if there is a cellulite cure. I told him that there are but first and foremost, weight control should be a priority to avoid having these.

A friend asked me to help her look for natural skin care products to help her with her wrinkle problems. Uh-oh! I think I may have to read these for myself too, I tell her 😀

We searched the internet and read a lot of sites. One site, http://www.wrinkletreatment.org has a list of products one can avail of.

We looked at each other and say that we will get there but for now, we probably need to do some alteration in our diets to include food rich in vitamins A, B, C and E like meat, whole wheat, fruits and vegetables. Food rich in zinc like seafood, eggs and milk are also helpful as well as food rich in calcium.

So there, I have added these to my grocery list. I just hope lines will not be long when we go to the supermarket later as this is a payday for most of the breadwinners.

Been reading about skin care because I am still getting pimples even if it is not that time of the month when I usually get these. I have read information from several sites including dermitage reviews.

I am thinking that maybe this is the right time for me to visit a dermatologist to have my skin checked.

If not, I may have to get natural products that will help me with skin care:

• eggs
• honey
• lemon
• oatmeal
• fruits like avocado, cucumber, banana

These should be on my list of things to get when I go back to the supermarket later.
