Benefits of technology

The present invention provides facial masks that allow for showering and washing hair without compromising make-up. The masks are made of a pliant or semi-rigid plastic film and an elastic rim or band that can be secured under the chin to prevent leaks. The masks have a cavity for the user's face and are designed to provide a snug fit without adhesives. Additionally, there is a version of the mask that can be secured with a non-elastic strip or tie. These facial masks provide a convenient and comfortable way to shower and wash hair while maintaining a fresh and beautiful appearance.

Problems solved by technology

However, these articles are not suitable if one is intending to wash one's own hair or shower generally.

While each of the foregoing articles achieves its intended objective, none of these articles is capable of allowing an individual to wash one's hair without compromising their make-up or without soaking bandages or exposed wounds and / or washng away a medicament that has been applied to the face.

As noted above, the visor-type articles do not allow the user to wash their own hair, and are certainly not appropriate for use in a shower.

The face shields, on the other hand, do not protect the whole of the face and, more critically, involve the use of adhesive strips on the shield which is directly applied to the forehead and temple region.

Accordingly, these devices would have a difficult time properly adhering to make-up covered skin and, more importantly, would in any event adversely affect, if not result in the removal of, the pre-applied make-up.

Furthermore, many people have sensitivities to various adhesive products and / or their constituents and, hence, the use of these materials may lead to irritancy, edema, and the like on the skin of the user at the site of the adhesive band
