Beauty care utensil and beauty care method thereof

Abstract

A beauty care tool, beauty care utensil and a beauty care method is provided for enabling the easy performance of cooling massages of the skin and the widespread popularizing of cooling beauty care methods. A liquid absorption member 5 having liquid absorbed therein, a holding part, and a retaining part 4 provided at one end portion of said holding part for retaining said liquid absorption part are provided, wherein this retaining part 4 retains this liquid absorption member 5 due to the integration and solidifying of the liquid entering into a space 7 formed by a through-hole with the liquid absorbed into the liquid absorption member 5.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119 based upon Japanese Patent Application Serial No. 2004-201908, filed on Jul. 8, 2004. The entire disclosure of the aforesaid application is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to beauty care tools, beauty care utensils, and beauty care methods for use in beautifying through contacting the skin with a member having liquid absorbed therein.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a beauty care tool, method, and utensil that can easily perform cooling beauty care of the skin without the need for direct contact with the liquid. The tool has a holding part with a retaining part that uses a through-hole, concave part, or convex part for holding a liquid absorption member that has absorbed liquid. This allows for slow and refreshing application of the cooling beauty care, while minimizing skin irritation and degradation of the tool. The melted liquid is absorbed again by the liquid absorption member, preventing flowing down and improving skin cooling and preserving wetting. The tool does not use electricity, reducing harmful influences from electromagnetic waves and making the cooling beauty care safe and easy. The proper frictional drag of the liquid absorption member controls over-sliding, improving skin slackening and other skin concerns."

Problems solved by technology

Because this type of beauty care method involves cold water, ice or cold water retaining material directly touching the hand, during the winter season, it is difficult to repeat many times or to continue it for a long time.

Additionally, when massaging while holding ice in one's hand, the body temperature from the hand quickly melts the ice.

Such melted moisture causes discomfort because it flows down the arm and hand or drips on clothes.

Also, the problem of the ice easily slipping down exists.

However, it still involves a direct placement of the ice on the skin, and the ice can easily melt.

The melted moisture causes discomfort by flowing down the face and also, it cannot be associated with usage over a long time period.

Additionally, because the cold preserving material does not slide well on the skin, it is difficult to perform cooling beauty care while sliding it on the skin.

In particular, if the cold preserving material is covered with a cloth or such to alleviate the coldness, the cooling effect is lessened, and sliding over the skin becomes further worsened.

But, when using the above-mentioned cold preserving material, because the closed-up container is typically formed of a bar or sphere having a thickness, it is difficult to make the cold preserving material fit detailed portions such as the surrounding areas of the nose.

Despite a momentary feeling of pleasant coolness, the skin lotion is quickly warmed up by the body temperature or air temperature, and the resulting tightening effect is weak.

Still further, due to its motion by the fingers, the cotton puff or the like having the skin lotion easily distorts or forms fuzzy surfaces and also, rapid evaporation occurs.

Thus, a sufficient wetness retaining effect cannot be attained.

Also, an upward facing pose or the like must be maintained in order to hold the beauty care utensil, resulting in a problem regarding simplicity.

However, this kind of facial beauty device is heavy and large compared to the above-mentioned ice or cold preserving materials, and it is not easy to use for a long period of time while holding it in one hand.

Also, because this kind of facial beauty device cannot hold moisture, the sliding over the skin is poor, and if persons having weak skin use it for a long time, a reverse fear of damaging the skin exists.

Furthermore, in cases where the cooling plate is made of metal in order to improve the cooling effect, there is also a fear of causing metal allergies and the like.

Due to the above-mentioned problems, although the above-mentioned beauty care method is known to be preferable for the skin, it has currently not popularized as a beauty care method performed by the general public on daily basis.
