DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a face washing puff produced with the use of cotton pile fabrics.
BACKGROUND ART
Among known face washing puffs used for cleaning the face is sponge or sponge covered with cloth, and in washing the face, such puff with soap or the like applied thereto is rubbed against the face to remove the dirt and makeup. It is also known to wash the face by a similar method using a small-sized brush having hairs or the like set therein, called a face washing brush. With such method, though effective in removing the dirt on the face, it has been impossible to bring the skin into a moist smooth state.
The so-called skin troubles, such as greasy skin, dry skin, pimples, eruptions, stains, freckles, dark skin and fine wrinkles, are caused by keratin incrassation. Generally, keratin, when stimulated, tends to incrassate, and keratin gradually incrassates under the influences of remnants of cosmetics and ultraviolet rays. To keep the skin beautiful, therefore, it is necessary to stop the proceeding of incrassation and remove the unnecessary portion of the keratin deposited on the skin.
The conventional face wasing methods, However, fail to remove the stubborn keratin, resulting in cleaning only the surface of the outermost layer of the skin; thus, they have been unable to remake the skin beautiful.
Thus, the use of a rigid, face washing brush and a toilet soap having fine sand powder mixed therein has been tried; however, the use of these items excessively removes the keratin, failing to retain a layer of keratin of given thickness on the skin, and has the drawback of causing inflammation to the skin, being unsuitable for the delicate skin of the face.
The present invention has for its object the provision of a face washing puff which eliminates the drawbacks of such conventional face washing appliances, accelerates normal keratin metabolism and, while maintaining a given thickness of keratin layer on the surface, regenerates a white smooth skin, reviving the old skin to provide a clear skin similar to the baby's.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention achieves the intended object very effectively by providing a face washing puff in the form of a bag body adapted to receive fingers in its opening, at least the working surface thereof being formed of a cotton double-faced pile fabric.
The double-faced pile fabric which forms the working surface of the face washing puff of the present invention has a dense cut pile on one side and a loop pile on the other side; the invention is characterized in that the cut pile surface is positioned on the outer side of the bag body.
Such puff of the invention is constructed as a bag body and can be used by inserting fingers into its opening; therefore, it is very easy to use. Further, since the working surface of the puff is formed of a cotton pile fabric superior in moisture absorption, it is agreeable to the touch and provides a satisfactory face washing effect. Further, since its outer surface is formed of a dense cut pile of cotton, it can uniformly act also on tiny recessed and raised spots on the skin, thus increasing the cleaning effect. Moreover, since the working surface is formed of a double-faced pile fabric, it develops an elastic cushion effect which enhances the action of the cut pile of the surface on the skin.
In the present invention, a single layer of such double-faced pile fabric may be used to form the working surface, in which case since the loop pile is exposed on the inner side of the bag body, the fingers inserted in the bag body touch the loop pile, enabling the puff to be operated stably and with a good feel. Further, in use, such layer of double-faced pile fabric may be combined with at least another layer of pile fabric; particularly, it is preferable that two or more layers of said double-faced pile fabric be laminated to form a working surface in such a manner that the upper loop pile contacts the lower cut pile.
In the case where two or more layers of double-faced pile fabric having a dense cut pile on
