Risk Free Trial Offers for Compliant Health and Beauty Products

I was just informed that there are risk free trial offers for several compliant health and beauty products.  If you've been thinking of purchasing these products but have been hesitant to spend money, now is a great time to try them.  I listed the products below with a brief description of each.  Feel free to browse through the list and just click on the link provided for their risk free trial offer.




Dermology's Anti Aging Solution uses a three-part skincare system that systematically attacks problem areas where signs of aging most often develop.  It comes with an Anti-Aging Cream, an Anti-Aging Serum, and an Anti-Aging Eye Cream.  Best of all, each formula is fortified with Resveratrol, which is the most powerful skin care anti-oxidant available today.

Resveratrol is a natural anti-oxidant found in red wine and the skins of red grapes. It delivers up to 17 times the anti-oxidant capability of ingredients you'll find in other skincare products, providing maximum effectiveness when fighting the damaging effects of aging cells.



The Dermology Acne Cream is an entire skin care management system that finds the source of your acne and not only heals the blemishes you have, but also treats future outbreaks that you don't even see yet. Most acne products available today only treat blemishes that you already have, without helping your skin prevent more from forming.







The unsightly bumps of cellulite are the result of pockets of fat collecting just below your skin's surface - a place blood flow just can't reach. Dermology's Cellulite Solution is all-natural and allows for easy absorption into those stubborn areas creating a firmer and tighter look for your skin while reducing unsightly cellulite dimples. 

The active ingredients of Dermology's Cellulite Solution are caffeine and Retinol A.

Dermology will not make you lose weight, but it will smooth your skin to reduce the appearance of these unsightly dimples.




Have FUN!!!

Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy

My wife frequently has tired and sore upper back muscles.  Sometimes, she even finds it difficult to move her head and upper body.  Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy has helped her a lot.  This technique "sucks" out what we call "lamig" in the Philippines during the treatment.  You will observe the lump inside the glass on your back gradually shrink towards the end of the session.  To see is to believe!


Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy is performed by placing glass on specific accupoints on your back. A technique is used to create a vacuum inside the glass placed on your back which lifts the skin.  The practitioner then moves the cup toward the outside parts of the body sucking the air away. 

At Chris and Chat Spa, we ask our patients to lie on their back for this therapy.  We only use cups made of strong glass to ensure our client's safety.  To create a vacuum, a flame from a burning cotton ball is placed in an upside-down cup.  When the oxygen in the cup burns out, the cup is placed directly on the skin where it is held in place by a strong suction.  This draws the skin up inside the cup.  Don't worry, this will not burn your skin.  The flame is just needed to create vacuum for the suction effect.

The skin inside the cup reddens due to the strong cupping which indicates that circulation has been brought to the surface.  There is a deep warmth and tingling sensation after the treatment.  Ventosa Cupping is generally a painless procedure. The redness should disappear in a day or two.

It's interesting to note that this technique is known to open the "Meridians" of the body.  According to traditional Chinese medicine, the flow of "qi" travels throughout the body in channels called Meridians.  These are the conduits through which energy flows to every part of the body.  Illness results when the qi is blocked at certain points or is not flowing properly throughout the body.

Ventosa Cupping opens these Meridians in the body.  The stagnated and out of balanced qi can be restored by exerting suction and pressure resulting in invigorating energy flowing throughout the body.  Cupping can also be used when qi needs to be drawn to the surface of the body from deep within to nourish muscles and the skin.

The The Art of Cupping
A recommended book on Cupping is The Art of Cupping. Hedwig Manz (click on the link to view the details).  This book is for practitioners and students who want to be trained on Ventosa Cupping Therapy.  It contains very clear black and white illustrations from the author's practice and shows the exact placement of cups.  This is a valuable book that meets its goals of detailing wet and dry cupping for 45 different disorders with clear illustrations.  You will certainly learn a lot from this book.  But do take caution before applying this Ventosa Cupping technique on yourself or another person.  It still takes experience to do this right.  So experiment if you want, but take caution.


Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy helps alleviate pain, remove toxins, and allows the body to feel rested after the session.   It is better to help your body to be self healing rather than rely on external assistance, such as medications.


To maximize the benefits of a true therapeutic massage, we recommend undergoing Deep Tissue Massage after a Ventosa Cupping Massage.

Eyebrow Threading - The Ancient Hair Removal Technique

Whenever I talk to people about eyebrow threading, it always surprises how very few people know of this hair removal technique.  It is really an art!  And very few SPAs and Salons offer this particular type of hair removal nowadays, most use wax or blade or plucking for their hair removal service.  And though there's nothing wrong with these other hair removal techniques, the threading technique does offer some distinct advantages.

Threading is an ancient technique used to eliminate excess hair on the face and eyebrow area using a cotton thread.  The thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin entwining the hairs in the thread and removed quickly from the follicle.

Eyebrow Threading is a practice of shaping the eyebrows. It is preferred over other techniques since it is more accurate.  The string can be placed precisely along the eyebrow line and only the unwanted hair gets removed.  The brow also looks very clean and well groomed as even the tiniest hairs are removed.

It is critical to find an aesthetician who is very experienced at eyebrow threading.  Inexperience can result in uneven brows, ingrown hair, hair breakage, or unnecessary pain.

For men and women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, hair threading is a better choice since it does not use chemical ingredients.

This hair removal technique is not just for the eyebrows, threading is also used to remove other facial and body hair.

Threading is a highly specialized hair removal technique.  So choose  your threader wisely.  Visit Chris & Chat Spa and Facial Care today.

Natural Glowing Skin Solution

With all the available ways to get your skin glowing in the market today, we often forget that the solution naturally lies within our bodies.  There is a natural solution to keep your skin glowing! Let's get back to basics!

In a nutshell, giving your liver, colon, kidneys, and the rest of your body the essential support each needs will eliminate your internal toxins naturally and help keep your skin glowing.  Read on to learn more.

Your skin is the secondary organ for eliminating toxins from your body.  Anything that you eat or exposed to which your detoxification organs cannot eliminate - liver and kidneys - are flushed out through your skin.  Imagine that! These toxins then become acne or outbreaks on your skin.

So feed yourself wisely!  If you overwork your detoxification organs by letting them process to many synthetic chemicals, they will not be able to keep up.  Those excess wastes will be released through your skin where they can clog pores and cause blemishes. 

The following are usually the culprits to the misery of your detoxification organs:
  • too much sugar 
  • too much MSG
  • inhaling corrosive chemicals, paint fumes, and gasoline
  • synthetic chemicals in makeup, cover up, and skin care products
Avoid or limit your exposure to the list above and you will be on your way to achieving that natural glowing skin. 

Discipline is key!  Feed your body wisely!
