Does it always take a scalpel to make oneself more beautiful? Your nose will be higher if you tighten it, sebum will come out if you squeeze it: for women who believe in old-fashioned natural methods, there is an assortment of tools flooding the market. For those who want a small but significant change at a small price, here is an introduction to products available at online shopping malls D&shop, GS Watsons, and Oliveyoung. Of course, there are no guarantees of efficacy.
Nose Pinchers
The days of using clothes pins to make your nose perkier are gone, but there is now a tool that pinches your nose without even causing pain. Placing the utensil on your nose for just 30 minutes a day should certainly make the sniffer stand straighter, shouldn't it? D&shop W5,900 (US$5.9).
Face Pressure Clamp
Protruding cheeks, tough jaw muscles? Wouldn't it be nice if someone else could just tighten them in for you every day? Well, there is a product for people who wondered. Since the apparatus may slide off, it is not recommended for use by those who have small faces already. D&shop W15,900.
Pelvis-Correcting Basin
This is not a basin that holds water. It closes the pelvis after it has expanded during pregnancy while lifting a droopy behind and straightening a crooked pelvis. The device offers much more stability than a sofa or a chair and welcomes rears of up to 100 cm in diameter. While reading or watching TV, any user can get the three daily sittings of 15 minutes out of the way. D&shop W29,800.
Face Massage Roller
What are you doing just sitting there doing nothing? If you moved your hands even once, you could make your face look smaller. Right before bed or while watching TV, you can increase blood circulation and your skin's elasticity by simply rubbing your face and neck. If you are too intent on feeling the immediate effects of the massage and rub too hard, your skin will hurt though. This tool helps. GS Watsons W11,500
Sebum Suction Device
Trying to squeeze out sebum or pimples with your hands can leave marks and spread germs. So why not use a pump? Overuse, of course, can also result in unwanted side effects, and skin may hurt from the pressure on the suction as if it was ripping your skin off. Plus it temporarily leaves traces on the face. Also, since the hole is large, it does not fit tightly on noses, where most sebum is found. GS Watson W8,900.
Lip-Exercise Mouthpiece
Bite it and fix it to the both ends of lips and then retract and stretch your lips. If you steadily perform this exercise for three minutes at a time, the lips will be raised and the jaw line will become sharper. GS Watsons W7,800.
Face Sweat Mask
This device heats up like a spacesuit. It sends back the far infrared rays exuded by the face to the body, so that the wearer sweats. When all the waste comes out of the face, wash your face with cold water and you will feel like your face has gotten 1 mm smaller. But if you look in the mirror with the mask on, you may be startled: you look just like Jason from the ˇ°Friday the 13th" movies. Oliveyoung W12,800
