What Is the Refa Carat Tool?
Refa Carat is a platinum multi-angular body and face roller designed to deeply knead your skin revealing its youthful, firm and beautiful look right at home. Beauty and firm skin that takes the tone of younger years – this is what everyone wants, and that is exactly what Refa has created.
Their Carat tool helps you get the same lymphatic drainage that is popular via a massage from an aesthetic professional. All you need to do is glide the platinum coated face roller across your facial or body muscles to carefully knead your skin and reveal all the youthful and firm beauty that lies beneath.
The Refa roller was created to meet customers’ need for a device that can give the same result of a massage parlour in the comfort of your home: the device needed to be very effective in creating overwhelming skin simulations for highly sensitive skin. This was the inspiration that birth the platinum roller device that makes use of micro-current drawn by a built-in solar panel to pamper your skin and relieve you of pent-up stress after a long day.
How Does the Refa Roller Work?
The Refa Carat tool is made with profound attention to details and great craftsmanship. It is created with a platinum coating and creates a squeezing motion that makes it pretty great for the skin. However, what is most impressive about the tool is the kneading sensation it provides for the skin, thanks to the spherical drainage rollers it possesses.
Gliding over the skin, the rollers have current-carrying bearings to massage your skin for a beautiful tone and firmness. This happens because the blood circulation improves along the axis you roll it through and rejuvenates the skin, giving it a good surface.
The body and face roller does not run out, as the currents are provided by a small solar panel constructed with the tool. With its curved shape and gracefully designed body, it is also made to fit the hand of the holder perfectly.
Another awesome feature of the face roller is that it is waterproof, similar to jade rollers. So, after a long day of working your facial muscles, you can have that massage in the shower during a long, relaxing bath. Just roll the 360° multi-angular roller along all the contours of your face – and yes, it fits even along your nose ridge – to replicate a massage tapping technique that will awaken your nerves and even your skin texture.
