Abstract:
A skin moisturizing and buffing device, comprising:a) a hand-held housing;b) an external support assembly rotatably mounted on the housing and having an external support member which is relatively movable with respect to the housing, and which has a relatively large and relatively flat support area having spaced support elements defining relatively large open spaces through which water vapor may pass;c) a removable thin, porous relatively large area skin buffing fibrous material having a relatively rough skin engaging surface, which is mounted on and supported by the support member and through which water vapor can pass and on which it can condense so as to moisten and buff the skin surface when placed in sliding contact therewith to thereby simultaneously give a gentle exfoliating action of the skin surface;d) a vapor generating assembly, within the housing adjacent and close to the movable support member, which generates water vapor for the skin buffing element;e) a mechanical power assembly within the housing and connected to the movable support assembly which provides mechanical movement to the support assembly; andf) a vapor propelling assembly disposed in the housing adjacent and close to the vapor generating assembly which moves vapor from the vapor generating assembly to the skin buffing element.
