Can the Japanese reading people on my friends list tell me what this advert says?

"FACE LINE SHAPELY" apparently...

Riiiight. So what is it? A strap-on cucumber mask?

I imagine something more like a DIY Facelift. Or to avoid getting wrinkles in the bath? I dunno...

The Japanese never cease to surprise me.

They're very keen on having a nose that is the right shape, and you can get little things that clip on to train it over night, doubtless this concept extends to the whole face if the marketing will take it that far...

My kana are a bit rusty (already) but I think it says something like "face rain screen", its katakana so is made of loanwords, most likely English words, so if you can figure out what the sounds are and think how a Japanese person would say them you can kinda translate back into English.

Face line refresher, possibly meaning jaw line. I would guess it's something to moisturise the lower half of the face. Some Japanese women shave the downy hair from their jawlines to give a smoother finish to foundation and I'd guess this makes the skin dry.

Thanks!
Still don't know why anyone would want to use such a thing...

Because dry skin is itchy and annoying, although personally I don't think it's annoying enough to have a bath looking like a bad accident between Hannibal Lecter and the Tango man.
