Hasta La Gadget!

These days, many people use a PC and smartphone throughout the day and I guess that majority of them, including myself, are concerned about their eyestrain.

Don’t you want to get rid of dark circle under your eyes and look younger?

From the Panasonic’s popular beauty equipment series for eyes, new 2 models will be out on September 1. These 2 models are the second model of the series, and the original model released on September 2012 has been popular among both women and men.

These new models are called “Uruoi (moisture) Type” and “Refle (reflexology) Type”.

– Uruoi Type (EH-SW51):

After you soak the built-in feed-water plate in clean water and set the plate in the equipment, you are ready to use it. Once you turn it on, it stars warming up to 40℃ slowly and generating small amount of steam to moisturize around your eyes. It will help to release your dry eye problem.

Color: Pink
Size: 6 x 14.1 x 9.6cm

It will provide you 2 kinds of healing massage while moisturizing your eyes with steam. It will relax muscles around your eyes and reduce your eyestrain.

Both models have “Rhythm Mode” that will give you a short 6 minutes relaxing massage. Even if you are a busy person who doesn’t have much free time, this beauty equipment for eyes will heal you in a short time.
