Skin cleanser
A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.
1. A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:
a substantially flat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser body having a cross-sectional shape that is longer in a first direction substantially parallel to the base than in a second direction substantially parallel to the base;
a silicone exterior covering substantially all of an exterior of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having:
a first side, and
a second side defining a textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the textured surface area comprising a set of touch-points;
an oscillating motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser; and
at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the oscillating motor.
2. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the touch-points of the set of touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.
3. The skin cleanser of claim 2 , wherein the first side defines a textured surface area.
4. The skin cleanser of claim 3 , wherein the textured surface area of the first side defines a set of touch-points.
5. The skin cleanser of claim 4 , wherein the touch-points of the textured surface area of the first side are integrally formed with the silicone exterior.
6. The skin cleanser of claim 5 , wherein the textured surface area defined by the first side is larger than the textured surface area defined by the second side.
7. The skin cleanser of claim 5 , wherein the textured surface area defined by the first side is approximately the same size as the textured surface area defined by the second side.
8. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the base is substantially transparent.
9. A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:
a substantially flat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser body having a cross-sectional shape that is longer in a first direction substantially parallel to the base than in a second direction substantially parallel to the base;
a silicone exterior covering substantially all of an exterior of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having:
a first side defining a first set of touch-points integrally formed with the silicone exterior, and
a second side;
an oscillating motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser; and
at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the oscillating motor.
10. The skin cleanser of claim 9 , wherein the diameter of at least two touch-points of the first set of touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.
11. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , wherein each touch-point of the first set of touch-points has substantially the same diameter.
12. The skin cleanser of claim 9 , wherein the second side defines a second set of touch-points integrally formed with the silicone exterior.
13. The skin cleanser of claim 12 , wherein each touch-point of the second set of touch-points has substantially the same diameter.
14. The skin cleanser of claim 9 , wherein the second side defines a set of ridges integrally formed with the silicone exterior.
15. The skin cleanser of claim 14 , wherein the set of ridges defines at least four ridges.
16. The skin cleanser of claim 15 , wherein at least a portion of each ridge of the set of ridges extends towards the base from an end of said skin cleanser body opposite the base.
17. A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:
a substantially flat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser body having a cross-sectional shape that is longer in a first direction substantially parallel to the base than in a second direction substantially parallel to the base;
a silicone exterior covering substantially all of an exterior of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having a side defining a textured surface area, the textured surface area comprising a set of touch-points;
an oscillating motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations or the skin cleanser; and
at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the oscillating motor.
18. The skin cleanser of claim 17 , wherein the oscillating motor is operable to oscillate within the range of about 50 Hertz to about 300 Hertz.
19. The skin cleanser of claim 18 , wherein the at least one control comprises a mode control, the mode control configured to turn on and off the skin cleanser.
20. The skin cleanser of claim 19 , wherein the set of touch-points forms a substantially semi-circular pattern.
