Warts Removers

The demand for warts removers has steadily increased as more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of having their warts removed. So how would you know if you have warts? What caused them? Are there different types of warts? Why should they be removed? Will it hurt to have them removed? Are they contagious? These are just some of the questions which I will address in this article.

The warts virus, commonly referred to as HPV or Human Papilloma Virus, is a virus which is microscopic in nature and extremely contagious. They can be transmitted from one person to another, and can travel from one part of the body to another. So warts should be treated as soon as possible!

There are many types of warts.

• Hand warts grow around the nails, on the fingers, and on the backs of hands. They appear most often where the skin is broken.
• Foot warts, or plantar warts, grow on the ball of the foot, the heel, and the bottom of the toes. They appear in areas which are subject to weight, pressure and irritation which have a tendency to crack the skin and provide an entry point for the virus. The virus can be picked up in locker rooms, swimming pools, or by walking barefooted on dirty surfaces.
• Flat warts tend to grow in large numbers and can appear anywhere on the body. Most will appear on the legs and face.
  
• Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted disease and very contagious.
  

So how do you remove warts? If you want your warts to permanently go away, you have to kill them at the root. It's very much like trimming a tree. When you trim a tree and cut off some of its branches, they will grow back, right? But when you pull out the whole tree, from the root, it dies! The same is true for warts.

The easiest method to remove warts is through the use of over the counter drugs. It's also convenient since you can do them at home. These products are usually in the form of lotions, ointments, or plasters. They contain salicylic acid which has the potential to kill the warts virus. However, although some drugs are very powerful, they have a high rate of having warts return. The chemicals they contain are quite strong and affects both healthy and infected skin. Most of them fail in killing warts for the very reason that they just don't get to the root! People with diabetes or heart condition should not use over the counter drugs.

Medical treatment is also an option. Some doctors use acid to burn off warts. Some go the opposite route of freezing warts using cryotherapy. With regards to the acid treatment, doctors apply a mild acid to the wart. When applied correctly, the viral cells are destroyed and replaced by normal healthy skin. At times, multiple applications are necessary to kill the virus. As for cryotherapy, doctors use liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart to the point where it falls off after a few days. A blister may form after the procedure but it will dry up over the next few days and the wart will fall off. Healing from cryotherapy can take up from one to two weeks.

Electocautery is another method to remove warts. With this method, an electric needle is used to burn the wart. This kills the tissue around the wart and causes the skin to peel off, taking the wart with it. Chris & Chat Spa and Facial Care uses electrocautery to remove warts. Topical anesthesia is applied to each wart so you wouldn't feel any pain. The wart falls off within 5 days.

There are also natural wart removers. Chris Gibson has published an eBook which provides specific instructions on how to remove warts with common household ingredients. This eBook is informative and easy to understand. The methods Chris recommends are simple, effective, and easy to follow. Results can be seen in as little as 3 days. His eBook comes with a money back guarantee. In case his guideline on removing warts did not work out for you, you can have your money refunded.

Heal Warts, produced by Healing Natural Oils, is yet another remedy. It's 100% natural, produced from the highest quality pure natural essential oils extracted from plants. The formula is organic at the source, free from pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. The formula is extremely concentrated, ensuring that you do not run through a bottle in just one use. This comes with a 60 day unconditional money back guarantee.

I think the most cost effective way to remove warts, by far, is through the use of Apple Cider Vinegar. Just pour some drops of the vinegar on to a small cotton ball, enough to cover the wart, until it is saturated. Place it over the wart and cover it with a band aid. Results can be seen in 10 days. Your skin will have an annoying smell though.

With all these options, I bet you're wondering what's the best way to remove warts?!? Well, it really up on you and the person handling the treatment. As long as the roots of the warts are removed, that's what matters. They will just vary on the treatment cost, treatment duration, discomfort, possible scarring, and healing duration.

Bottomline, you need to get your warts removed. It's not something you're supposed to have! Some warts removers do work! You just need to choose wisely!

Minimize Your Facial Pores

The desire to minimize enlarged facial pores is common for tropical skins like for Filipinos. This typically affects the nose and cheek areas. The good news is there is a way to minimize those pores. With the right facial care product, their size can be reduced! But before anything else, you must first understand what causes your pores to be larger than life.

Enlarged pores may be caused by your genes, lack of exfoliation, or ageing. Your genes play a crucial role in determining your pore size. In essence, the oilier your skin, the more noticeable your pores become. Ageing also plays a role since your pores will naturally increase in size with ageing. Inadequate exfoliation is also a culprit. You see, excess surface oil and dead skin cells can accumulate inside your facial pores which makes them appear larger than they really are. If you're not careful, those oil plugs may even lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.

Fortunately, there are pore minimizing products that can help you care for your face. They can effectively refine the appearance of those pores. The pore minimizers being sold in the market today can refine your pores through oil regulation, exfoliation, or light reflection. I believe the most effective is exfoliation because of it's cleansing action. Blackheads which turn dark due to oxidation can make the pores more visible. Exfoliants can refine this by removing the sebum and dead skin cells trapped inside those pores.

Experiment, if you must, in your search for the pore minimizer product which suites you best. But please, exercise caution when choosing the product to use on your face. After all, you only get one of those in your lifetime.

Start minimizing your facial pores! It can be done! Chris & Chat Pore Minimizer can be purchased through Chris & Chat Spa and Facial Care.

The Fountain of Youth

Aging baby boomers are getting eager in seeking ways to keep them young (not only at heart, that is). More and more facial care products are being introduced to the market today in response to this growing demand. If only there is a fountain of youth! Unfortunately, there's none! But there's a basic principle to looking young, and that's what this article intends to point out.

The skin care industry has produced some of the most promising and effective ways of keeping our skin young. And although it is true that we need the right stuff on our skin, it is very important to understand that it's essential to still have the proper foundation, and that is drinking water. In Dr. Colbert’s book, The Seven Pillars of Health, he noted that if you don’t drink enough clean water, you may lose your good looks. He also noted that water is the single best beauty treatment on the planet.

To elaborate further on the importance of water in taking care of our skin, consider a prune. Do you realize that a prune is produced when water is removed from a plum? In the same way, wrinkles are produced when your skin is deprived of water. Our skin was designed to hold in moisture to be elastic, depriving it with water causes it to lose its elasticity that no amount of wrinkle cream can cure it.

Aside from drinking water, there are other areas of focus to a better health: sleep and rest, living, food, exercise, detoxification, supplements, and coping with stress. Dr. Colbert, in his book The Seven Pillars of Health, wants to challenge and motivate us to pay attention to these areas. It's what we don't know that could be keeping us from enjoying good health—body, mind, and spirit.

Water has the ability to rejuvenate your skin and make you look younger. So, drink up and stay young! It's the true fountain of youth!

Relieve STRESS with FOOT SPA

It seems that FOOT SPA has gotten a bit complex. When you search the internet, different types of equipments and services are now being offered for a footspa service. You can either do it yourself from home by buying a foot spa equipment, or you can visit a SPA offering foot spa service. Either way, a good foot spa session can help relieve your stress.

If you're thinking of buying a foot spa machine for your own use, consider the space you have in your home where you'll keep it. It's best if you don't have to put it away after each use since the mere thought of setting it up may already tire you. You also need to decide on your budget and what features are critical for you. Foot spa machines can range from $20 to more than $1000 based on the features that they have. Before you buy your own machine, I encourage you to consider carefully if you will really have the patience to do it yourself. Some of our clients bought a machine but ended up seeking our service instead because they can't get the same great result doing it themselves.

If you're still seriously considering buying a foot spa machine and money is not an object, the Aqua Chi Foot Bath may be a good machine to try. It claims to enhance your body's ability to detoxify and heal, and balances energy pathways within the body. Many have likened the experience of using it to that of bathing in nature's hot springs.

A foot spa session will typically involve having your feet soaked into a foot spa machine for about 15 minutes. After which, the callous on your feet will be removed gently. Your feet will then be scrubbed, dried, and massaged.

Whatever type of foot spa you decide to try, aside from relieving your sore, tired, and overworked feet, your feet should feel clean and most, if not all, of the callous (or kalyo in Tagalog) in your feet should no longer be present after the service. At Chris & Chat Spa, we always strive to meet this goal. Some of our customers even jokingly commented that they feel shorter (in height) after a foot spa service. That is because they can no longer feel the callous on their feets =).

Foot SPA will not only keep your feet in good condition, it can help relieve your stress. So pamper your feet TODAY with a soothing FOOT SPA.

The Healing Hands of a HILOT Practitioner

"Hilot" is quickly regaining grounds in the world of massage therapy. It is becoming one of the hottest trends in our spas today. Out of some 90 spas in the Philippines, some 37 Department of Tourism-accredited spas are now offering hilot to their local and foreign guests. Hilot has healing capabilities and we already have several clients who have attested to that.

Hilot was actually nominated as the "Spa Treatment of the Year" during the 2005 Baccarat Inaugural Awards in Hong Kong. Soon, the art of Filipino healing and massage will also be available in Europe. A Philippine non-governmental organization and a company in Germany recently signed a memorandum of understanding for the transfer of the technology to introduce hilot in Europe! Isn't that something?! That should make Filipinos proud!!

Before anything else, let's first define what Hilot is. Hilot (/hee-lot/) is a Filipino healing art which actually means "massage" or "healer". It is a highly intuitive massage wherein the therapist identifies areas of energy imbalance in the body through touch diagnosis. It manipulates electrical charges in the body that creates a biochemical reaction where it is needed. A liver, for instance, can be supplied with precise electrical activity. If this delicate balance is disrupted and the problem is left unattended, it can lead to disease. While many popular massages had predetermined sequences of strokes, hilot was customized to the needs of clients. With hilot, focus was not limited to the muscle or tissue alone. It also soughts to harness bio-energies for balance, harmony, health and wellness.

At Chris & Chat Spa and Facial Care Center, hilot is offered as a full body 60 minutes massage which involves a medium deep tissue massage wherein the therapist uses rapid mixed with slower moving finger and hand pressure over various documented pressure points throughout the back and legs. Some of our clients find themselves more relaxed and de-stressed after a hilot session than after other types of massages.

A word of caution ... be aware that there are scores of hilots in Manila and many are fake. Most are malpracticing for the money and are not really in business to heal. So be on guard in your search for an authentic and therapeutic hilot service.

Authentic hilot practitioners do have healing hands!

ARTISTRY Créme LuXury - A Revolutionary Anti-Aging Product from Amway

It's surprising to see Amway endorsements all over the media network. There used to be a time when advertising Amway products seemed taboo. This doesn't seem to be the case now.

The latest and most promising advertisement I saw was by well known actress Sandra Bullock on ARTISTRY Créme LuXury - the most advanced, luxurious, anti-aging moisturizer ever created by Amway. Leveraging patent-pending CellEffect technology, ARTISTRY Créme LuXury offers the latest technology to reverse the visible signs of ageing caused by environmental factors and daily stress.

While celebrity endorsements really don't mean that much, they do raise brand awareness. And the fact that Sandra Bullock has never endorsed a product before says a lot. According to the news, Sandra rigorously grilled ARTISTRY™ scientists before agreeing to represent Créme LuXury to learn more about the product. She needed to trust in the safety of the product and tested the product herself.

“I don’t endorse things that I don’t use, that I don’t believe in myself,” says Sandra. “I was excited to be behind something that I felt really safe and comfortable with, and that, to me, is really important. I’ve always said no before, because if I wouldn’t put it on my own skin I would never ask other women to put it on theirs.”

Believing that Créme LuXury is truly an exceptional product, created from true science and true beauty, Sandra shared her enthusiasm for the ARTISTRY™ Créme LuXury experience with women the world over.

ARTISTRY Créme LuXury can be purchased solely from Amway Independent Business Owners (IBO).
