I knocked on this huge red door for one of the most pleasant nights I had in my life. It was almost seven pm and the sky has darkened. My consort and I are cold and tired from the drive. The door opened and we were greeted pleasantly by a man, “Welcome to Chi Wellness!”

Alas! We missed the sunset overlooking the beautiful view of Taal volcano. A marvelous view of the volcano can be grasped even though the darkness of the night covered it. On the other hand, we saw the pleasant night view surrounding the area.

We were toured around the place with a glass kitchen to showcase the artwork behind their dishes. The chef gave a smiling face as we passed by. The big dining area can accompany 20 guests and could be booked privately. A grand event like a bachelorette party, a corporate event or a birthday dinner would be nice to have here.

Going down the stairs, is an even more lovelier place. The bartender offered us cocktails and we hanged out by the bar and were offered the menu. The menu is limited but with absolute taste. It is well thought of by the chef.

Skin Philosophie by Dr. Kyla Talens: Be Among Their Masterpieces Flaunting Beautiful Flawless Skin

I guess everyone, especially in the Philippines whose people are fascinated with glutathione solutions and whitening soaps and creams, would want to have smooth, flawless and glowing white skin. Unlike in the other countries whose people would spend for tanning equipments and bum under the sun of tropical beaches just to get that perfect tan, we Filipinos would want to look like we belong to the affluent by becoming as white as our foreign counterparts we deem blessed with white or Caucasian complexions.

We also don't want to see blemishes, wrinkles, acne, warts, blackheads, whiteheads and all sorts of skin flaws to make us less confident and appealing. We want the best for ourselves so our physical appearance become one of our primary concerns. Admit it or not, people still have the discrimination against people who look like they belong to the lower class. Since our complexion is obviously the first thing people see, we strive hard to make it more acceptable in the judgmental eyes of many.

This is why many of our fellow countrymen dream of having celebrity-like skin. Sadly, skin care treatments would mostly be expensive for the common people. Blessed are those that can afford to spend a fortune in perfecting a flawless complexion since some dermatologists would normally recommend the most expensive or lengthy treatments.

But there's great news for everyone now that there's a new skin center that was recently opened just last November 2014. Skin Philosophie Medical Aesthetic and Lifestyle Solutions by Dr. Kyla Talens promises to make you their masterpiece - because they believe crafting beauty is an art, and they want you to be among their many fully satisfied masterpieces.
