ABSTRACT:
A cosmetic pad for use in removing surface detritus from the skin at pressures a lay person can apply in scrubbing the skin is comprised of a segment of lofty, fibrous, non-woven structure of mixed denier organic (e.g., nylon or polyester) crimped filaments bonded at contacting points with a binder such as thermosetting resin and containing finely divided, biocompatible, soft abrasive particles. The cosmetic abrasive pad of the present invention is advantageously configured for safe, convenient use by a person scrubbing one's self, in the home. In one embodiment of the cosmetic abrasive pad of the present invention, a circular abrasive segment is detachably affixed to a circular handpiece carrying a flexible web bearing hook fasteners on one side and a hand loop or finger loop. The circular handpiece hook fasteners (e.g., Velcro.RTM. brand hook fasteners) releasably engage with the fibers of the abrasive segment and permit the user to adjust the position of the abrasive segment on the handpiece. In an alternative embodiment, two substantially rectangular abrasive segments, preferably of differing grades of abrasive aggressiveness, are stitched together on three sides in a laminated structure including two layers of a soft, porous fabric to form a scrubbing mitt having an opening sized to receive a user's hand; the two abrasive segments are positioned on either side and are disposed to present abrasive exterior surfaces having differing grades of abrasive so that a user can use either side by rotating the inserted hand within the mitt to select the appropriate cosmetic abrasive pad surface for scrubbing, to remove detritus or the like from the skin.
