Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hautreinigungsvorrichtung aus textilem Gebilde, die besonders auf die Reinigungsbedürfnisse fettiger Haut und Mischhaut abgestimmt ist.The invention relates to a skin cleaning device made of textile, the especially on the cleaning needs of oily skin and combination skin is tuned.

Zur Reinigung fettiger, unreiner Haut ist es üblich, Einwegartikel aus Vliesmaterial zu verwenden, welche mit hautreinigungs- oder hautpflegeaktiven Substanzen getränkt werden oder fertig getränkt angeboten werden. Die hautreinigungsaktiven Substanzen, in der Regel Hautreinigungslotion oder Hautreinigungswasser dienen dabei zur Anlösung der auf der Hautoberfläche befindlichen Schmutzpartikel, abgeschilferter Hautschüppchen sowie Hauttalg, welche dann mechanisch mit Hilfe der Einwegvliesartikel von der Haut abgetragen werden. Auch ist die Verwendung herkömmlicher textiler Waschlappen bekannter Stand der Technik, wie z.B. in der Offenlegungsschrift DE-A1-198 39 505. Da die Hautreinigung auf Basis von Wasser und dieser herkömmlichen Waschlappen nicht ausreichend für die Pflege fettiger Haut ist, werden üblicherweise zusätzlich Hautreinigungsdetergentien eingesetzt, um den Hauttalg und Schmutzpartikel zu binden und in Kombination mit der mechanischen Abriebwirkung des textilen Waschlappens die Hautreinigung herbeizuführen.For cleaning greasy, impure skin, it is common to disposable items Nonwoven material to be used, which with hautreinigungs- or skin care reactive Substances are soaked or pre-soaked. The skin cleansing active substances, usually skin cleansing lotion or Skin cleansing water serve to dissolve the on the skin surface debris, skimmed off skin cells and sebum, which then mechanically with the help of disposable nonwoven article of the skin be removed. Also, the use of conventional textile Washcloths known prior art, such as. in the published patent application DE-A1-198 39 505. As the skin cleansing based on Water and this conventional washcloth are not enough for the Care for oily skin is usually added Skin cleansing detergents used to remove the sebum and dirt particles to bind and in combination with the mechanical abrasion effect of the textile Washcloth skin cleansing bring about.

Da es folglich bei den im Stand der Technik bekannten Methoden zur Hautreinigung unabdingbar ist, Einweg- bzw. Verbrauchsartikel einzusetzen, ist die Reinigung insbesondere problematischer, fettiger Haut mit einem hohen Kostenaufwand verbunden. Weiterhin ist der Abbau der meist synthetischen Hautreinigungsdetergentien aber auch zumindest einiger Bestandteile der Hautreinigungslotionen und -wasser nicht unproblematisch, so daß ihre Verwendung wasser- und somit umweltbelastend ist.Since it is therefore known in the known in the art methods for Skin cleansing is indispensable to use disposable or consumable is the cleaning especially problematic, oily skin with a high Cost associated. Furthermore, the degradation of the most synthetic Skin cleansing detergents but also at least some components of Skin cleansing lotions and water are not unproblematic, so that their Use is water and thus polluting.

Überdies weisen die hierbei verwendeten Detergentien, Lotionen oder Wasser potentielle Allergene auf, so daß sich bei diesbezüglich empfindlichen Menschen Allergien und allergische Reaktionen einstellen können.Moreover, the detergents, lotions or water used here have potential allergens, so that sensitive in this regard People can stop allergies and allergic reactions.

Ein weiterer Problemkreis ist die häufig vorkommende Überverwendung von Detergentien, Lotionen und Hautreinigungswassern, wobei in dem Bedürfnis, reine und normale Haut zu erhalten, oftmals beliebige Kombinationen dieser Reinigungssubstanzen im Übermaß eingesetzt werden. So wird die Haut häufig zunächst mit Wasser und einem Hautreinigungsdetergens vorgereinigt und anschließend mit Reinigungswasser und Gesichtslotion nachgereinigt. Dies stellt eine große Belastung für die Haut dar, so daß es infolge zur Störung des pH-Gleichgewichtes der Haut und mechanischer Überbeanspruchung kommt, so daß die Haut schutzlos gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen und invadierenden Mikroorganismen ist. Das Resultat ist häufig ein nicht verbessertes sondern verschlechtertes Hautbild. Insbesondere dadurch, daß die übermäßige Fettablösung zu einer gesteigerten Talgproduktion durch die Talgdrüsen der Haut führt, kann es schlimmstenfalls zu schweren Störungen des Hautbildes wie beispielsweise Akne kommen.Another problem area is the frequent overuse of Detergents, lotions and skin cleansing waters, being in need of To get pure and normal skin, often any combination of these Cleaning substances are used in excess. This is how the skin becomes common first pre-cleaned with water and a skin cleansing detergent and then cleaned with cleaning water and face lotion. This represents a great burden on the skin, so that it due to the disturbance of the pH balance of the skin and mechanical overuse comes so that the skin is defenseless against environmental influences and invadierenden Is microorganisms. The result is often not improved but deteriorated skin condition. In particular, the fact that the excessive Fat removal to an increased sebum production by the sebaceous glands of the Skin leads, at worst, it can cause serious skin disorders for example, acne.

Angesichts der mit der Verwendung von Detergentien, Lotionen oder Hautreinigungswassern einhergehenden Problematik und hinsichtlich der Tatsache, daß die sich im Stand der Technik befindenden herkömmlichen textilen Waschgebilde wie Waschlappen nicht ausreichend sind, fettige Haut ohne die Verwendung zusätzlicher hautreinigender Verbrauchsmaterialien befriedigend zu reinigen, ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine textile Reinigungsvorrichtung für die Haut bereitzustellen, welche in Verbindung mit Wasser ausreichend ist, fettige Haut weitestgehend ohne die Verwendung zusätzlicher reinigender Verbrauchsmaterialien zu reinigen.Given the use of detergents, lotions or Skin cleansing water associated problems and in terms of The fact that the conventional ones are in the state of the art textile washes such as washcloths are insufficient, oily skin without the use of additional skin cleansing consumables To clean satisfactorily, it is an object of the invention, a textile To provide cleaning device for the skin, which in conjunction with Water is sufficient, oily skin largely without the use cleaning additional consumables.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Hautreinigungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 vor. To solve this problem, the invention proposes a Skin cleansing device with the features of claim 1 before.

Da bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung weitestgehend auf den Einsatz hautreinigender Verbrauchsmaterialien verzichtet werden kann und die Vorrichtung selbst auswaschbar und vielfach wiederverwendbar ist, weist die erfindungsgemäße Hautreinigungsvorrichtung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik erhebliche Kostenvorteile auf. Ihre Verwendung kommt überdies dem Schutz der Umwelt zugute. Weiterhin werden durch Hautreinigungschemikalien vermittelte Hautirritationen vermieden, da der Säureschutzmantel der Haut erhalten bleibt und zudem das Risiko allergischer Reaktionen minimiert wird.As using the skin cleaning device according to the invention largely on the use of skin-cleaning consumables can be omitted and the device itself washable and many times is reusable, the skin cleansing device according to the invention significant cost advantages over the prior art. Your Use also benefits the environment. Continue to be Avoid skin irritation mediated by skin cleansing chemicals, as the Acid protective coat of the skin is preserved and also the risk of allergic Reactions is minimized.

Die lipophilen Fasern sind als extrem feine Mikrofasern ausgebildet, welche geeignet sind, aufgrund ihrer sehr geringen Durchmesser eine besonders große Reinigungsoberfläche zur Verfügung zu stellen und somit die Reinigungswirkung verstärken.The lipophilic fibers are formed as extremely fine microfibers, which are suitable, due to their very small diameter, a particularly large To provide cleaning surface and thus the Reinforce cleaning effect.

Dabei ist die erfindungsgemäße Hautreinigungsvorrichtung mit einem äußerst dichten Faserbesatz mit 30.000 bis 300.000 Fasern pro cm2 ausgerüstet. Durch die hohe Dichte des Mikrofaserbesatzes stellt die erfindungsgemäße textile Hautreinigungsvorrichtung eine extrem große aktive Oberfläche bereit, was ihr, verstärkt durch die Lipophilie der Mikrofasern eine besonders hohe Fettabsorptionskapazität verleiht.In this case, the skin cleaning device according to the invention is equipped with an extremely dense Faserbesatz with 30,000 to 300,000 fibers per cm 2 . Due to the high density of the microfibre fabric, the textile skin cleansing device according to the invention provides an extremely large active surface, which, reinforced by the lipophilicity of the microfibers, gives it a particularly high fat absorption capacity.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das textile Gebilde der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung zumindest teilweise als Polstoff ausgebildet. Diese Ausführungsform besitzt den Vorteil, daß die aus der Ebene des Trägermaterials ragenden Polfäden sich besonders für die Reinigung der Poren und anderer Hautunebenheiten eignen. Dabei sind wiederum Materialien mit einer gewissen Rückstellfähigkeit besonders bevorzugt, die sich in der Pore aufrichten und den dort sitzenden Talg aufnehmen. Die Polfasern rufen bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung außerdem einen Mikromassageeffekt hervor, der sich günstig auf die Durchblutung der Haut auswirkt.In a preferred embodiment, the textile structure is the skin cleansing device according to the invention at least partially as Polstoff educated. This embodiment has the advantage that the out of the plane the support material protruding pile threads are particularly for the cleaning of the Pores and other skin irregularities are suitable. Here are again materials with a certain resilience particularly preferred, located in the pore straighten up and absorb the sebum sitting there. The pile fibers call Use of the skin cleaning device according to the invention also a micro-massage effect, which is beneficial to the circulation of the Affects the skin.

Damit der Polfaser-Flor bei Flüssigkeitseinwirkung nicht an Volumen verliert, sind die Mikrofilamente der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung vorzugsweise gekräuselt ausgebildet, was ihrer Flüssigkeitsaufnahmefähigkeit ebenfalls zugute kommt.So that the pile fiber pile does not lose volume when exposed to liquid, are the microfilaments of the skin cleaning device according to the invention preferably formed curled, what their liquid absorption capacity also benefits.

Für die Ausbildung einer möglichst großen aktiven Oberfläche ist es weiterhin von Vorteil, daß die Mikrofasern der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung gezwimt sind und eine eine Zwirnfeinheit zwischen 330 und 960 dtex aufweisen.For the formation of the largest possible active surface, it is still advantageous that the microfibers of the invention Skin cleansing device are doubled and one has a twisting fineness between 330 and 960 dtex.

Hinsichtlich der Ausbildung einer besonders reinigungsaktiven aber nicht zu strapazierenden Hautreinigungsoberfläche empfiehlt sich zur Ausbildung der Mikrofasern die Verwendung von Mikrofilamenten, welche aus einem oder mehreren der folgenden Materialien bestehen: Polyvinylalkohol+ (PVA+), Polypropylen (PP), Viskose, Polyester (PES), Polyamid (PA) und /oder Polyacrylnitril (PAN). Diese Fasern weisen ausgezeichnete Flüssigkeitsaufnahmekapazitäten auf, was der Absorptionsfähigkeit der Hautreinigungsvorrichtung zugute kommt. Andererseits sind Mikrofasern aus diesen Materialien selbst sehr strapazierfähig und strapazieren dennoch die zu reinigende Hautoberfläche nicht übermäßig.With regard to the formation of a particularly cleansing but not to be stressed skin cleaning surface is recommended for the formation of microfibers, the use of microfilaments, which consist of one or more of the following materials: polyvinyl alcohol + (PVA + ), polypropylene (PP), viscose, polyester (PES) , Polyamide (PA) and / or polyacrylonitrile (PAN). These fibers have excellent fluid uptake capacities, which benefits the absorbency of the skin cleansing device. On the other hand, microfibers made of these materials are themselves very durable and yet do not overly strain the skin surface to be cleaned.

Zweckmäßig ist eine Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung, welche zusätzlich Bürstenfasern hoher Steifigkeit enthält. Die Bürstenfasern führen bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Hautreinigungsvorrichtung einen Peeling-Effekt herbei, der die Ablösung abgestorbener Hautschüppchen erleichtert, so daß die Poren nicht verstopfen und der Talg ungehindert abfließen kann.Suitably, an embodiment of the invention Skin cleansing device, which additionally brush fibers high rigidity contains. The brush fibers lead when using the inventive Skin cleansing device exfoliates the peeling effect Deteriorated dead skin, so that the pores do not clog and the sebum can flow away unhindered.

Um eine gute Peeling-Wirkung zu erreichen, ist es von Vorteil, daß die Bürstenfasern eine Zwirnfeinheit von 167 dtex oder mehr, vorzugsweise zwischen 220 bis 1500 dtex aufweisen. Der Einsatz von Bürstenfasern, die Polyester (PES) und/oder Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) und/oder Polycarbonat (PC) und/oder Polyamid (PA) und/oder grobe Naturfasern enthalten, kommt diesem Zwecke ebenfalls zugute.To achieve a good peeling effect, it is advantageous that the Brush fibers have a twist count of 167 dtex or more, preferably between 220 to 1500 dtex. The use of brush fibers, the Polyester (PES) and / or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and / or polycarbonate (PC) and / or polyamide (PA) and / or coarse natural fibers, this comes Purposes too.

Der Einsatz von Bürstenfasern aus Multifilamentgarn bewirkt eine gute Einbindung der Bürstenfasern in die Gesamtheit des Polgewebes, überdies tragen die feinen Mikrofilamente des Multifilamentgams zur weiteren Erhöhung der aktiv reinigenden Oberfläche der Hautreinigungsvorrichtung bei. Die Bürstenfasern stehen vorzugsweise stachelartig aus der Ebene des Trägermaterials heraus oder erheben sich aus dieser bogenformig und enden wieder in ihr.The use of brush fibers made of multifilament yarn causes a good Incorporation of the brush fibers in the entirety of the pile fabric, moreover The fine microfilaments of the multifilament yarn contribute to further increase the actively cleaning surface of the skin cleansing device. The Brush fibers are preferably spiky out of the plane of the Carrier material or rise out of this arcuate and end back in her.

Vorteilhaft hinsichtlich der Voluminösität des Polgewebes und hinsichtlich eines guten Peeling-Effektes ist auch die Verwendung gekräuselter Bürstenfasern.Advantageous in terms of bulkiness of the pile fabric and in terms of a good scrub effect is also the use of crimped brush fibers.
