Abstract

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 in touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the to 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.

Claims (31)

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 textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicon exterior, the textured surface area comprising a set of touch-points;

a motor disposed within said skin cleanser laxly configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser; and

at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the motor.

2. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the diameter of thee touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.

3. The skin cleanser of claim 2 , wherein the touch-points are integrally formed with the silicone exterior.

4. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the base is substantially transparent.

5. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the motor is operable to oscillate within the range of about 50 to 300 Hertz (Hz).

6. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the textured surface area of touch-points is compressible to contour to a surface of a user's skin.

7. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein said skin cleanser body is configured to be held in a hand of a user with a thumb of the user resting against a first side of the silicone, exterior and fingers of the user resting on a second side of the silicone exterior.

8. The skin cleanser of claim 7 , wherein the second side has a curvature and is configured to be held in the palm of a user's hand.

9. A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:

a substantially fiat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser laxly 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 comprising a set of touch-points integrally formed with the silicone exterior;

a 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 motor.

10. The skin cleanser of claim 9 , wherein the diameter of at least two touch-points of the 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 set of touch-points has substantially the same diameter.

12. The skin cleanser of claim 11 , wherein the silicone exterior comprises a second set of touch-points.

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 silicone exterior comprises a set of ridges.

15. The skin cleanser of claim 14 , wherein the set of ridges includes 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 skirt 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 comprising a set of touch-points; and

a motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser.

18. The skin cleanser of claim 17 , wherein the 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 set of touch-points forms a substantially semi-circular pattern.

20. The skin cleanser of claim 19 , wherein the silicone exterior comprises a second set of touch-points.
