There is an abundance products in the beauty market out there; almost a gadget for any body part but I'd dare say only a handful for the face. In enters ReFa Carat, a beauty massage gadget inspired after the kneading techniques of professional therapists; and the innovative creation of by leading Japanese beauty & wellness company MTG. Raved by celebrities like Madonna and Cristiano Ronaldo, I simply had to put this unique gadget to the test.
The Refa Carat is recommended to be used for both face and body, especially in bath or after bathing, when the skin is most relaxed. The trick is to run the gadget along the lines of your body with medium strength such that roller can 'pinch' up skin. Simply roll it back and forth to stimulate slimming.

It may be abit on the pricey side when you think about it at first, but for a single tool with a multitude of use, backed up by the Japanese research into wellness, it could be quite a justified buy as well since its durable to last for a long time.
The Refa Carat is currently retailing at S$380; and can be purchased on the MTG website!
