One of those things you buy but never use as supposed to :P

Many of us can associate with it.

THAT wonder-threadmill that is supposed help me keep fit.
THAT wonder-gel that is supposed to burns the fats and kill that tummy fat.
THAT wonder-cream that is supposed to make my skin uber-smooth like a baby’s bottom.

I’m not a person who is usually swayed by such adverts. But I did so in JAPAN. I was in such a e-mook CRAZE then. Remember this post? Still am now but no time to head down to KINO in taka/bugis to hunt. DID YOU KNOW that in JAPAN, the emook are sold in every convenience store??? YES! Liken the 7-11 in own city. When I was in Japan, me and my bro’s gf, Grace, were THRILLED to see them being sold everywhere that each time we enter one, ZOOMED in on the magazine booth and look-flip-see-what-freebie. They do have a RA-rated manga there too. *peeked before la, the cover of them that is.* LOL.

Alright! so what’s the thing I bought but nvr use as supposed? This is it!

A face roller that is really famous in JAPAN, that even our tour guide talked about it! Germanium mineral that’s 99.999% pure, blah blah blah.

It aint cheap too! 2980Yen (~SGD48!!) [Local kino was selling for SGD64, so still it's a bargain. :P] Probably the MOST expensive emook I’ve ever bought! Me and Grace found the last 2 books and held on to it the whole time in their “7-11″. Thinking and thinking. Worth it or not? I didnt do prior research before heading that but i did see this on a website before.

One of those, oh-well-what-the-heck-moments, WE BOUGHT IT. Though we didnt really know how to use it! ha!

Brought it back to SG and had it playing on my face for a while. Finally really went to dig up more information on it.

This new and innovative semi-conductor facial beauty roller uses semi-conductor technology and germanium to take away wrinkles and eliminate darks spots and make you look younger! *SO CHIM!!* The result of using this roller is the tightening and beautifying of the skin and the definance of the aging process.

HOW TO USE IT —You only need to use it 3 times a day for 3 minutes!!!!

(1) THE FACE AND NECK: Roll all over the face and neck in an upwards and downwards motion
(2) EYES: Start from under the eye and follow the bone structure. Beside the eye, focus on crows feet moving in an up and down motion
(3) FOREHEAD: Roll in an upwards and downwards motion. Move across the forehead using the same movements
(4) SMILE LINE: Roll in an upwards motion. Start from the bottom and roll up towards the temple and under the eye
(5) NECK: Start from the base of the neck and move upwards towards the jaw line. Repeat the same motion all over the neck
(6) ELIMINATE PUFFINESS: Roll in an upwards and downwards motion all over the face
(7) HEALTH: Use for a recommended three times a day for three minutes to see not only anti-aging benefits but also health benefits

The roller rebalances the positive and negative ions on the skin and in the body. Essentially, it ensures that the negative ions are on the skin and in the veins.

Benefits and Advantages:

• Balances negative and positive ions allowing you to have healthy skin helps remove the puffiness in the face
• The presence of semi-conductor technology which emits negative ions and the presence of organic germanium results in removing wrinkles and dark spots
• Tightens and maintains the skin
• Facial slimming
• Helps eliminate tireness and fatigue
• The negative-charge ion from Germanium will help in blood purification and balancing the positive and negative ions within the body. This also achieves muscle relieving effects as well as reducing fatigue and tiredness. *WA!*
• Over 200 mv of negative ion energy
• Chips composed of 99.99% germanium
• The metabolism of the human cell is an extremely important process as it purges waste out of the body while acquiring nutrients from the blood. With more negative ions in the body, the body’s metabolism process also increases in its efficiency. Conversely, with more positive ions in the blood, the body’s metabolism becomes less efficient and slower. Thus the human cells become weak and the body is more susceptible to sickness and the ageing process becomes accelerated.
• The acidification of the blood which is caused by the loss of electrons can be prevented by negative ions, which contains an abundant amount of electrons. This improves the body’s immunity and resistance to sickness.
• One roll is equivalent to 1000 taps during a massage *WA WA!*
• Made up of oxidized titanium which acts as a good anti oxidant and organic germanium which acts to improve your circulation
• Germanium helps get oxygen into the body and increases metabolism which allows your body to detoxify
• Helps to push the waste water out of our face and system which results in healthier skin and overall better health

Sound miraculous to me! ha!

And once again a youtube video to sum it all!

Now, I feel like one of those who believes in those AMAZING adverts on television. You know? One of those selling-channels. LOL. Oh well, I’m amused by myself. I’ll try out this massaging thingy, whenever I remember? So gimme a holler when you see my face slimming down!

On a more serious note, we spotted this roller thingy being sold in many of the beauty counters in Japan as well and they are much more expensive den mine! About SGD100++ I think it just might just really work! You never know ay? *I should try it on Twinkle as well. Need to roll away her fats on the tummy! HA!*
