Care system for cosmetic treatment of the skin

The invention consists of a care-system for the cosmetic treatment of skin through layering of a care-material-containing surface element on the skin portions to be treated, at least inclusive of a textile surface, which is compressed, essentially liquid-free, as well as a liquid, wherein the textile product and/or the liquid care-material are exhibited and the textile product for absorption of liquid is expandable to a care material-containing surface element. The care system of the invention demonstrates that through a simple and hygienic application that it can be applied with little time consumption.

In FIG. 1 a a care system of the invention in a sealed condition is presented. Therein, a working example for a functional unit 1 is summarized. These consist of a storage container 2 of synthetic material exhibiting two chambers 3 and 4 . In the somewhat smaller shaped chamber 3 one finds at a compact tab the compressed textile product 5 . In chamber 4 one finds the skin care agent material. In order to protect the compact compressed textile article 5 as well as the liquid 6 from contamination and water, the storage container is sealed with a lid 7 . By means of the release closure 8 the lid 7 can easily be removed from the storage container, so that both chambers 3 and 4 lay open. The compressed textile product 5 compact tab is taken out of chamber 3 and goes into the filled chamber 4 ( FIG. 1 b ). By contact with the liquid the tab 5 springs off and the textile product spreads itself out to its normal size 9 through the liquid intake. Thus, it is advantageous if reservoir 4 is directly filled with so much liquid that it is sufficient to change around the compressed textile product 5 in a care material containing surface element 9 which is unfolded ( FIG. 1 c ). With cotton fleece masks which, for example, are especially suited for overlaying on the face areas about 6 ml. is sufficient. But this is dependent upon the size of the mask as well as on useful textile materials and can vary from this. By the exact adjustment of the amount of liquid for the absorption potential, the resulting textile products will be profitably limited since much excessive moisture residue remains in the chamber 4 which, in addition to a waste of care product, would also be less clean, as this residue could leak out. FIG. 1 d shows the care material-containing surface element 10 in an unfolded form. The unfolding can be done in simple manner with the thumbs and forefingers. Thus, remaining care material residue remains only on the fingertips of each two fingers, where it quickly soaks in. In the unfolded state, the care material-containing surface element can be applied to the skin portions to be treated. The previous working example deals with a cotton fleece textile product, which in advantageous manner exhibits savings 11 . These savings in the mask 10 expose mouth and eye areas of the face and in an advantageous way further support the nose slits 12 so that the textile product 10 can optimally fit itself to the facial contours. The user can easily place the mask on the face near the savings 11 and lightly press on the skin, in order to obtain an optimal contact between the skin and the care material soaked textile mask 10 . In view of the savings in 11 it is not necessary with the use of the mask to take special precautions in regard to preventing contact between the care product and the sensitive eye and lip areas. Thus the mask 10 is simple in its use and can also be used fast in between intervals without special precautions necessarily being applied. FIGS. 2 a - 2 d as well as FIGS. 1 a - 1 d show the care system according to the invention and its use according to a further method variation. According to this method variation one finds the care active liquid 6 in liquid dispenser 13 and the textile tabs are packed separately. The care system is in the form especially suitable for many person households or when frequent care applications take place. In view of the individual packaging the compact compressed textile product 14 is protected from moisture and can be sold in a box together with the liquid dispenser. Thus, it is possible to sell liquids with different care materials, which then can be combined with the textile products 14 . So, it is possible with the care system to prepare different working masks so that liquids with different care materials can be available. The care material-containing liquid is given in a container 15 . Thereby, this can display direction labels which are necessary for the full utilization of the textile products and which list, for instance, the required amount of liquid dosage to be used. Also, it is conceivable that the pump-dispenser is so regulated that the required amount of liquid can be dose delivered with unparalleled activity. The compact compressed textile product 14 is transported into the container 15 with the care material-containing liquid 6 ( FIG. 2 b ). The textile material expands through the wetness and takes up the care-material into its textile web and is then in the liquid soaked, expanded form 9 ( FIG. 2 b ). This care material-soaked and expanded textile product can be unfolded upon a care material-containing surface element 10 and be applied for the treatment upon the cared-for skin portions. After use these can easily and cleanly be disposed of without danger of the residue being smeared. The possibility also exists that the textile product contains the care material. For example, this is advantageous if the care material is not damaged by the pressing procedure. By contact of the care material-containing compressed textile products with a liquid such as water, the textile product expands and the care material is dissolved. Thereby, a care material-containing mask is formed, which by unfolding can be spread out upon a surface area, which then can be applied to the skin portions to be treated. 1 Reference Listing 1 functional unit 2 storage container 3 chamber for textile material 4 chamber for liquid 5 compressed textile material 6 liquid with care materials 7 lid 8 opener bottle 9 care material-containing surface element 10 unfolded care material-containing surface element 11 open space 12 nose slits 13 liquid dispenser 14 compressed textile product 15 container
