Now here is where I post concerns rather than (hopefully helpful) feedback from experience with a product. This product is one that I have ended up buying because #1)I am pretty much obsessed with turning back time and looking better, and #2) I can’t afford something as expensive as Suzanne Somers “facemaster” right now, which limits my options here. I found a deal on a “Rejuvenique” facial toning mask for under $20 with shipping included in the price, and thought “why not?” It was going for ULTRA cheap, and this product retailed in some places for $80 and others over $150!
It was an impulse buy and I didn’t have the proper time to really read up on consumer reviews of this product until *after* the purchase was made and the the freaky-looking mask kit is now in the mail on it’s way to me.. Thing is, now that I’ve read up a bit on this kit, I’m not sure I’ll try it at all once it does arrive. Not only did I read that there were concerns about it’s safety, but I read numerous reviews by people who have tried it and stated that it was a *painful* experience, comparing it to an actual electrical shock. Um, no thanks!
Not sure what I’m going to do with it now, aside from scowl at the box and maybe end up using the mask as some warped halloween prop. Frankly, I’m too scared to even consider trying this mask out at this point, I’m way too squeamish to imagine being able to tolerate numerous shocks over a period of 15 minutes straight even ONCE, let alone each day! What was I thinking? I suppose it was a moment of desperate hope at finding some new phenominal way of toning my face to a firmer and more youthful look..
I really wanted, and was interested in, Suzanne Somers “facemaster” which I saw on an HSN demo recently, however I have since read that *that* device is a bit painful as well, in comparison to “Rejuvenique”, and compared to little “shocks”. However, with “Facemaster”, I DID read far better reviews as far as impressive results, where as with “Rejuvenique” I have been reading more cautions and bad experiences, as well as heckles, rather than anything overly good.
Once the freakazoid contraption gets here, I will no doubt post an update on my reaction(s) and if I actually do take the scary leap to give it a try, but to be honest? I seriously DOUBT I’ll buckle and try it, regardless of how much I want to improve my face! I’m scared even thinking about it…
Anyone out there have experience-based feedback about the “Rejuvenique” mask? I’d love to hear…
>>UPDATE; This product still frightens me. I received the box in the mail yesterday, and opened it today not really expecting to get up the nerve to use it. I was right. It came with the mask, battery, operating device/regulator, toning gel, a VHS instructional video, and two booklets. Even after reading the booklets and watching my recklessly “brave” boyfriend try it out for fifteen minutes, I’m even less enthusiastic to give it a go. My boyfriend was gung ho to strap it on and try it out. He boasts of a high tolerance to pain, and even *he* flinched when some of the ‘gold-plated contact points’ shocked him a little harder than he’d been expecting (granted, he was turning the dial higher up between 7 and 10 for a while there). Forget that.. I doubt I’ll ever have the courage to do it, and there goes my dream of getting the facemaster, as it pretty much is in the same category. It’s powered by a 9 volt battery, which is supposedly ‘mild’ (I don’t care to find out), so for those of you who don’t mind touching exposed plugs or wires and getting shocked at a higher level, you probably won’t mind this device on your face in the least bit then.
For those of you who are quite squeamish like me, and don’t particularly like the idea of taking shocks (on ANY degree) to the face, you probably won’t want to try this. So alas, I can’t really give an accurate or ‘personal experience’ critique on this device, I can only tell everyone that I’m too chicken to give it a try, even with as curious as I am to get results on my face.. My boyfriend, even with the flinches, said it “wasn’t that bad.” But then he doesn’t mind discomfort and pain, either. Use your best judgement(s) and good luck! If I ever get up the nerve to try it, I’ll re post here (naturally), but I doubt it. Thankfully I blew less than $20 on this one, rather than over $100 on the facemaster.
1-10 rating (1 bad, 10 outstanding) *Seeing as how I have not tried it, and remain afraid to, I cannot really rate this product based on performance.
