Problems solved by technology

Conventional facial mask products can be grossly inadequate in their ability to fit a wide variety of facial shapes and sizes, yet still lie flatly against the face.
In particular, conventional approaches to accommodate variance in facial size, i.e., the inclusion of conventional slits, does little to meet this pressing need.
This is problematic especially for typical users who use the mask immediately before sleeping and do not want their hair wet with a skin treatment composition.

Such uneven treatment is especially pr

The outer dimensions were about 20.3 cm×23.2 cm. Openings were cut out of the sheet corresponding to the eyes, nose, and mouth.

[0107]A facial mask having a design similar to that shown in FIG. 1 was made. Using the same materials, others having a design similar to that described in FIGS. 4, 6 and 7 were made.

Abstract

The present invention features a facial mask comprising a water-insoluble substrate sized and shaped to lie against and substantially coincident with a face of a human user. The water-insoluble substrate includes separation features that form laterally-extending tabs capable of overlapping the facial mask, improving its adaptability and fit. Methods of treating the skin using facial masks are also provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a facial mask and uses thereof to treat skin.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Products such as cleansers and moisturizers formulated with vitamins and other skin benefit agents have been used for many years to treat the skin. Employing a water-insoluble substrate such as wipe or mask to assist in the process of cleansing, moisturizing and delivery of certain benefit agents to the skin is also known. For example, consumers typically use hydrating facial mask products for treatment of various skin conditions as well as to improve the physical appearance and texture of the facial skin. This can be accomplished while the user relaxes, such as in a prone position, while the mask contacts the skin of the face, and provides benefits thereto.[0003]The dimensions of the human face vary considerably from individual to individual. Conventional facial mask products can be grossly inadequate in their ability to fit a wide variety of fa...
