It looks like a torture instrument, but it really isn't.
The ReFa Platinum Electronic Roller, an innovative beauty gadget from Japan, a 2 roller V-shaped product that emits a slight electrical micro-current that aid your search for beautiful, glowing skin and a more taut-looking silhouette.
This 2-roller V-shaped product aims to stimulate muscles, promote metabolism and tighten skin texture by boosting micro-circulation under your skin.
Set with a broad V-shaped angle, ReFa Platinum Electronic Roller features a 3D design that fits most lines, curves and shapes associated with the face and body to give the skin a tightening suction effect as it moves up and down the skin.
Its surfaces are coated with platinum to resist deterioration or discolouration. Surrounding the two rollers are ceramic rings that are composed of 16 different types of natural ores namely; rose quartz, citrine, agate, hematite, aquamarine, amethyst, rutilated quartz, jade, tourmaline, phyllite, pyramidal stone, inesite, three types of special Japanese stones and germanium. All these are selected to induce micro-circulation in your skin and achieve effects that range from better drainage, tightening skin, lifting facial lines, removing cellulite and helping your skin to glow.
Instead of relying on batteries, the roller recharges when placed in the sun or under flourescent light, so it can be used in the bath or immediately after.
Diva recommends: It's not difficult to use, as the handle allows you a firm grip on the device. A firm suction is produced with light rolling motions, and after 10 minutes of use on our jaw line, our faces did seem a little tighter. We tried it on our tummies and were delighted to see some improvement on the texture of the skin there, as stretch lines faded slightly.
Best of all, you can use it while you're watching the telly and not have to concentrate too hard on rolling the gadget on your body. It has a slight weight from the rollers, which does not feel cheap nor plasticky either.
Despite its sucking effect, it did not hurt to use.
ReFa Platinum Electronic Roller retails at a promotional price of $480.00 (Usual Price: $600.00) at Takashimaya Interior Department, B1 until 24 Dec 2010. After that , it will be available at ALT at the Heeren.
