ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to facial massagers, and more particularly, to a facial massager for massaging the skin of a user.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
It is a nature of women to beautify themselves and make themselves look younger, so the cosmetic is used to achieve such purposes. However, to remove make-up applied on the face, cleaning agents, such as lotion, are usually used to clean up the facial skin in order to prevent stains or residue of the make-up from remaining inside the skin pores. One drawback to the use of conventional cleaning agents is that the removal of stains or residue of make-up from the facial skin simply by conventional cleaning agents is not always complete.
In order to keep the facial skin to be bouncy a facial massager is typically used to roll over the facial skin to perform facial massage by a roller having a plurality of cams or strips formed on a peripheral surface of the roller for improving blood circulation of the facial skin. However, the conventional facial massager can only roll over the facial skin to massage and stimulate the skin without the function of removing the stains or make-up residue embedded in the skin pores form the facial skin. Therefore, it is desirable to have a facial massager which performs both massaging function and skin cleaning function.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary objective of the present invention to provide a facial massager which can both massage and clean skin in the same time.
In accordance with the foregoing and other objectives of the present invention, there is provided with a novel facial massager for performing skin massage for improving blood circulation of the skin and skin cleaning for removing stains in skin pores or horny layer from the skin. The facial massager of the present invention includes a hollow cylindrical roller having an outer surface, an inner surface opposing the outer surface and defining a through hole extending along the axial direction of the hollow cylindrical roller, and a plurality of openings extending from the outer surface to the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical roller; an inner roller coaxially sleeved in the through hole and having a diameter smaller than the through hole so as to allow the inner roller to axially rotate in the through hole; and a handle coupled to the inner roller by a connecting means in a manner that the inner roller can be forced by the handle to axially rotate inside the through hole and in the same time to press against the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical roller to urge the hollow cylindrical roller to roll over a skin surface of a user.
