Rinse the functional water.
When the function of the ion exchange resin deteriorates due to long-term use, the user instructs the regeneration of the ion exchange resin by operating the switch board of the functional water soaking and discharging apparatus 12. Under the control of the controller 129, the solenoid valve 128 is opened, and the tap water flowing from the pipe 121 to the branch pipe 121 ′ becomes the salt water through the salt supply tank 125, and is drained to the drain pipe through the ion exchange resin cartridge 124. . The ion exchange resin is regenerated by sodium ions in the saline.

As can be seen from the above description, the user of the bathroom vanity F can perform the entire procedure of bathroom vanity with exfoliation using only the bathroom vanity F. Therefore, by using the vanity table F, it is possible to shorten the live action line in the case of the vanity with the exfoliation compared to the conventional case.
The functional water generating water discharge device 12 is detachable and movable to the wash bowl 3 and is convenient because the user can bathe the functional water on a desired part of the face without moving the face.
By heating the functional water, the irritation when the functional water contacts the human skin is reduced. Functional water of cold water may be discharged while discharging hot air toward the face. The functional water of hot water may be discharged while discharging warm air toward the face.
The atomized functional water disperses even in a small amount, so it adheres to the face over a wide area, and even if it is a small amount, the scattering speed is low and it stays on the face for a long time, effectively removing the keratin. . Therefore, by atomizing the functional water, water saving of the functional water, miniaturization of the electrolysis tank, saving of power consumption, and saving of electrolysis aid are realized. Moreover, by atomizing, it is possible to prevent water splashing when it comes into contact with human skin or the wash bowl 3, and to prevent functional water from splashing on the user's clothes and the floor around the vanity. it can.
When functional water is softened, foaming is improved and keratin removal ability is improved. Further, by using soft water from which magnesium ions and calcium ions that bind to skin proteins are removed, exfoliation can be performed while maintaining skin tension and elasticity. The hardness of soft water is preferably 30 or less from the viewpoint of avoiding troubles of hair and skin.
When the functional water is softened, it is possible to prevent a salt such as magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate from depositing in the water discharge hole of the functional water discharge nozzle 12 ′ to hinder the water discharge.
By softening the tap water supplied to the electrolysis tank 126, it is possible to prevent the electrolytic function from deteriorating due to precipitation of a salt such as magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate on the cathode of the electrolysis tank.

As shown in FIG. 16, the vanity tables A to F include a chair 13 and an antifogging mirror 14.
If the chair 13 is arrange | positioned in the vanity stand A-F, since the user P can perform an exfoliation with an easy posture, sitting in the chair 13, the usability of the vanity stand improves.
If the mirror 14 is arranged on the bathroom vanities A to F, the user P can remove the keratin while measuring the bathing condition of the functional water and the timing of the face washing by looking at the mirror, improving the convenience of the bathroom vanity. To do. If the mirror 14 is an anti-fog mirror, exfoliation can be performed while looking at the mirror even before and after bathing or in cold areas where the mirror is likely to be cloudy, so that the convenience of the vanity is further improved.

In the said Example, the discharging direction of functional water is not limited upward. It may be downward.
In the bathroom vanity table C, instead of atomizing the functional water using the atomizing device 53 composed of two discs, the functional water is atomized using the atomizing device illustrated in FIG. May be.
An atomizing nozzle 54 illustrated in FIG. 17A includes an inflow port 54a, a cylindrical swirl flow generation space 54b that communicates with the inflow port 54a, and a small-diameter jet outlet 54c that communicates with the swirl flow generation space 54b. Have. The functional water that has flowed into the atomizing nozzle 54 from the inlet 54a flows in a tangential direction with respect to the swirling flow generation space 54b to become a swirling flow, and is ejected from the outlet 54c as a swirling narrow stream. The swirling trickle of ejected functional water diffuses radially while forming a water film, breaks up into fine water droplets by surface tension, and forms functional water mist. Although it is possible to discharge the mist of functional water without any special pressurization, the functional water flowing into the atomizing nozzle 54 using a pump or the like is reduced to a diameter of 0. When the pressure is increased to 4 Mpa or more, fine mist having a particle size of 100 μm or less can be discharged. The finely mist-functionalized water is suitable because it is soft against the skin and diffuses widely and adheres to the entire face.
An atomizing device 55 having an ultrasonic vibrator shown in FIG. 17B has a water receiving portion 55a for storing functional water, an ultrasonic vibrator 55b, and a drive circuit (not shown) for the ultrasonic vibrator 55b. is doing. The ultrasonic vibrator 55b is made of a piezoelectric ceramic whose surface is coated with platinum or gold that is resistant to acid water. When an alternating current having a frequency of about several hundred kHz to 1 MHz is supplied to the ultrasonic vibrator 55b, the ultrasonic vibrator 55b vibrates, and the functional water stored in the water receiving portion 55a vibrates and atomizes. When generating the fine mist, a high-frequency alternating current is supplied to the ultrasonic transducer 55b. In order to prevent idling, it is desirable to provide a float switch so that the ultrasonic transducer 55b is not operated when the functional water is not stored in the water receiving portion 55a. The water receiving portion 55a may be eliminated and the functional water may be atomized while being directly supplied to the ultrasonic transducer 55b.
In the bathroom vanity E, the functional water may be heated to a high temperature by the heater 106 and the steam of the functional water may be discharged from the shower head 113.
Instead of an ion exchange resin having a sodium type functional group terminal, an ion exchange resin having a hydrogen type functional group terminal may be used. Power consumption is reduced by electrolyzing weakly acidic soft water.
