For those who have everything: The electric facebrush
A gadget that lets the truly vain give themselves a nightly facial — and more in our collection of bizarrely elite consumer products

"Could anything be more fussy" than using this pricey gadget just to wash your face? Maybe not. But the Clarisonic Mia ($120), a vibrating cleansing brush, makes skin feel and look many times better without the raw feeling you get from exfoliating. The Mia "works sort of like an electric toothbrush: Apply a facial cleanser to the bristles, turn it on, and move the brush in circles." The 300 vibrations per second remove dirt and oil twice as effectively as manual cleansing. "It's like getting a gentle facial before going to sleep every night." Source: Details
