All natural vegetable fiber exfoliating cloth

Abstract

A wash cloth is made of all natural vegetable fibers and is particularly effective for exfoliating the skin to remove dead skin cells and revitalize skin tone and sensation. The natural vegetable fibers are derived from the Malvaceal family of plants. The exfoliating wash cloth may include a pocket for holding bar or liquid soap while rubbing the cloth against the skin when bathing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This application is based on provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 001,157 filed on Oct. 31, 2007 and applicants claim the benefit to the provisional application filing date under Title 35, U.S.C 119(e).FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a wash cloth for bathing and, more particularly, to an exfoliating wash cloth made of natural vegetable fibers.DISCUSSION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]Exfoliation is a common cosmetic technique that involves removing the dead skin cells on the outer surface of the skin (i.e., stratum corneum) to expose fresh living skin cells. Removing dead skin cells by exfoliating results in younger, brighter looking skin, as well as better penetration of active ingredients in skin care products (e.g., skin moisturizers). Exfoliating on a regular basis helps to generate new skin cells at a faster rate, thereby providing a healthier glow to the skin, as well as improved skin sensation.[0004]The process of exfoliat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention is directed to a wash cloth made of all natural vegetable fibers. The wash cloth of the present invention is particularly effective for exfoliating the skin to remove dead skin cells and revitalize skin tone and sensation. The exfoliating wash cloth may include a pocket for holding bar or liquid soap while rubbing the cloth against the skin when bathing.

Problems solved by technology

While the above described mechanical and chemical exfoliants have proven to be effective in removing dead skin cells and improving skin appearance, the products containing these exfoliants can be relatively expensive compared to other traditional bathing products.

Moreover, some people may be allergic to the rather exotic ingredients contained in both mechanical and chemical exfoliant products.

Further, use of most mechanical and chemical exfoliants is limited to once or twice a week.

A person using these exfoliants more often than recommended may be removing too many living skin cells and may increase the chance of skin irritation and damage.
