Apparatus and method for using effervescent tablets for cosmetic care

Abstract

An apparatus and method for providing cosmetic treatment to skin comprise one material chemically active in a solid form preferably in a tablet form and a second material which is chemically reactive with the first material so that effervescence is produced during the reaction. The chemically active materials may be activated by a user for providing cosmetic treatment to skin. The activation releases effervescence which urges granules of the reacting materials onto the skin. The size of the granules lowers during the reaction thus providing continuously refining peeling to the skin.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a first compartment to contain a first active material;   a second compartment to contain a second active material; and   a passage to controllably allow said first active material and said second active material to combine thereby to activate a chemical reaction;   wherein the pH of said first active material is higher than 7 and the pH of said second active material is lower than 7, and   wherein said chemical reaction to create effervescent effect.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first active material contains granules. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the size of said granules lowers during said chemical reaction. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said effervescent effect to release carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) gas during said chemical reaction. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first active material is in solid phase and said second active material is in liquid phase before said chemical reaction takes place. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said second compartment is squeezable. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said passage is in the form of at least one of hole and channel. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein said first active material is formed as a tablet having two main facets substantially parallel to each other. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein said first compartment is adapted to receive said tablet so that a first facet of the tablet is facing away from said second compartment. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said second active material is to be applied to said tablet to create a chemical reaction on said first facet of said tablet. 
     
     
         11 . A method comprising:
 providing an apparatus for applying cosmetic treatment;   providing a first active material enclosed in said apparatus;   providing a second active material enclosed in said apparatus;   allowing said second active material to controllably chemically react with said first active material thereby creating an effervescent effect;   using at least one of said first material, said second material, said effervescent effect and materials resulting from said reaction for cosmetic care by rubbing them onto a treated skin.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising:
 providing a liquid to serve as a gliding material between said apparatus and a treated skin. 
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said liquid is one or more of a group comprising water and gel. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the pH of said first active material is higher than 7 and the pH of said second active material is lower than 7. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said first active material contains granules. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the size of said granules lowers during said chemical reaction. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said effervescent effect to release carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) gas during said chemical reaction 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said first active material is formed as a solid tablet having two main facets substantially parallel to each other. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein a first facet of said tablet to face said treated skin. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said granules are urged towards said treated skin by said effervescent effect.
