Traditionally Crafted Cleansing Gadgets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

ReFa CLEAR Combines a Handmade Brush & 3D Sonic Ion Tech

— February 12, 2019 — Fashion
Consumers have come to be familiar with both low-tech and high-tech facial cleansing brushes with all kinds of bristles but the ReFa Clear sets itself apart as a first-of-its-kind device with a handmade Kumanofude cleansing brush. This brush, which adds an element of traditional Japanese craftsmanship to the device, contains ultra-fine tips that are smaller than pores so that they can be cleared without being opened, leaving the skin undisturbed. Naturally, replaceable ReFa Clear brush head replacements are available as needed.

Additionally, the handheld skincare gadget boasts an innovative 3D Sonic Ion technology, which gently cleanses the skin's surface and deeply cleans any impurities that are embedded in the pores. According to the brand, the device uses a "3D elliptical motion that reaches those areas which are unattainable by hand washing."
