Cosmetic towel

A cosmetic towel or the like for removing moisture from the skin without rubbing or chafing which comprises a piece of smooth, slick fabric, at least two pieces of gauze-like material which are layered on each side of the smooth fabric, and two pieces of towel which are layered on each side of the gauze-like material, all layers of fabric being stiched together around the edges with sewing thread or the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
The present invention relates to a cosmetic towel for removing moisture 
from the skin. More particularly, the present invention concerns a towel 
which will effectively remove moisture from the skin without rubbing or 
irritating abrasion. The cosmetic towel of the present invention can also 
be used to massage the skin by applying finger pressure without direct 
rubbing of the skin. 
Conventional towels are soft to the touch when they are first used. 
However, after a conventional towel has been washed and dried many times, 
the loops which are formed on the surface of the towel become worn and the 
fine hairs of the fabric fall off and become short. As a result, the 
surface of the towel becomes rough, causing considerable irritation to 
delicate skin when it is used on the face. 
Thus, the use of a conventional towel will repeatedly slough off skin cells 
and chafe the skin. This rubbing action can also cause abrasion or a 
slight skin disease. Of course, abrasion and rubbing can further irritate 
problem skin which may be characterized by pimples or other wounds on the 
face or swelled hair follicles and pores. Since these blemishes are raised 
on the skin, the outer skin is especially prone to sloughing and 
irritation from rubbing. 
Further, the use of a conventional towel can also cause a woman's eyebrows 
and eyelashes to fall out. And, the soft skin of infants can be damaged 
when wiping moisture after washing the face or bathing with a conventional 
towel. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
The present invention is a cosmetic towel or the like which is constructed 
in a sandwich-like manner by interposing a fabric having a smooth, slick 
surface between two pieces of gauze or the like. The surfaces of the gauze 
are then layered between two pieces of towel. Finally, the layers of 
fabric are joined together by stitching around the edges with sewing 
thread or the like. 
Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic towel 
for effectively removing moisture from the skin without rough rubbing of 
the skin or abrasive irritating motion. 
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic towel 
which will allow massage of the skin by finger-pressure without directly 
rubbing the skin. 
Still further objects of the present invention will become apparent from 
the following description, drawings, and appended claims.

Referring now to FIG. 1, the cosmetic towel of the present invention 
comprises at least two pieces of gauze 2,2a which are layered to each side 
of a piece of fabric 1 having a smooth slick surface, such as nylon or the 
like. At least two pieces of towel 3,3a, such as terrycloth or the like, 
comprise the outer surface of the cosmetic towel of the present invention. 
The cosmetic towel or the like is constructed in a sandwich-like manner by 
layering each piece of gauze 2,2a on each side of the piece of smooth 
fabric 1. The two surfaces of the gauze 2,2a are then layered between the 
two pieces of towel 3,3a. Finally, as shown in FIG. 2, the layers of 
fabric are joined together by stitching around the edges with sewing 
thread or the like. 
The cosmetic towel of the present invention is used by touching one side 3 
of the towel to the skin, pressing the other side 3a of the towel 
slightly, and rubbing the side of the towel 3a in the direction shown by 
arrow (a) in FIG. 3. While side 3 of the towel remains stationary against 
the skin, the loops inside the towel 3a are caught in the gaps of the 
gauze 2a so that the towel 3a moves along the gauze 2a and easily slides 
back and forth against the smooth slick surface of fabric 1. Thus, only 
the effects of the finger-pressure on side 3a of the towel is transmitted 
to side 3 of the towel which is touching the skin. This action allows the 
cosmetic towel of the present invention to absorb moisture along the area 
of the towel under pressure from the fingers, without giving any rubbing 
stimulus to the skin. 
The cosmetic towel of the present invention is particularly advantageous 
when absorbing moisture from blemished skin. Ordinarily, in such a case, 
you would press the skin firmly with a towel and pat the skin dry to avoid 
rubbing or an abrasive action along the contours of the face. However, it 
is now possible, with a cosmetic towel according to the present invention, 
to wipe away the moisture without irritating or damaging the blemished 
skin. 
The cosmetic towel of the present invention offers a further advantage in 
that the face is gently massaged by the rubbing action and finger pressure 
applied when using the towel. Thus, use of the cosmetic towel has a 
beneficial effect on the beauty of the user. 
Although one specific cosmetic towel has been described above, it should be 
understood that this embodiment is described for illustrative purposes 
only and that numerous alterations and modifications may be practiced by 
those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of 
the invention. Accordingly, it is the intent that the present invention 
not be limited to the above, but to be limited only as defined in the 
appended claims.
