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 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.

Claims (33)

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 side of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having a textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the textured surface area comprising a set of touch-points;

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.

2. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the substantially flat base is attached to the skin cleanser body.

3. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , further comprising a handle for grasping the skin cleanser.

4. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , further comprising a heat-emitting source.

5. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , further comprising a solid surface area opposite to the textured surface area.

6. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the skin cleanser body is coated with solid particles for dispensing at least some of the particles to a user's skin.

7. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the skin cleanser body comprises a substantially round shape.

8. The skin cleanser of claim 7 , wherein a portion of the silicone exterior defining the textured surface area has the substantially round shape.

9. The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein a user-contacting portion of the skin cleanser body includes silver nanoparticles.

10. 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 side of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having a first side defining a first textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior and a second textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the first textured surface area comprising a first set of touch-points and the second textured surface area comprising a second set of touch-points;

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.

11. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , wherein the substantially flat base is attached to the skin cleanser body.

12. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , further comprising a handle for grasping the skin cleanser.

13. The skin cleanser of claim 12 , wherein the skin cleanser body comprises a substantially round shape.

14. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , further comprising a heat-emitting source.

15. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , further comprising a solid surface area opposite to the textured surface area.

16. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , wherein a surface of the skin cleanser body is coated with solid particles for dispensing at least some of the particles to a user's skin.

17. The skin cleanser of claim 16 , wherein the solid particles comprise silver nanoparticles.

18. The skin cleanser of claim 17 , wherein a portion of the silicone exterior defining the first textured surface area and the second textured surface area has the substantially round shape.

19. The skin cleanser of claim 10 , wherein a diameter defined by the first set of touch-points is larger than a diameter defined by the second set of touch-points.

20. 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 lxx 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 side of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having a textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the textured surface area comprising a set of touch-points;

a solid surface area opposite to the textured surface area;

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.
