Description

  The present invention covers and supports a face mask used for cosmetics such as face skin aging prevention and fatigue prevention, and prevents and improves facial muscles, especially facial muscle slack correction, wrinkle extension, etc. The present invention relates to a face mask aid that can be used.

A face mask is brought into contact with the face and applied for several tens of minutes for beauty such as prevention of skin aging. This face mask is obtained by applying or impregnating a chemical such as a moisturizing agent to a base fabric such as a nonwoven fabric.
What is often used as a conventional face mask is a face mask that is applied to the entire face, which is almost elliptical and has eyes and nose parts punched out. For example, when cleaning or washing is performed during use for several tens of minutes, there is a drawback that it is easily peeled off by the operation during the work. For this reason, the user wearing the face mask is placed in a state where it is difficult to move while lying down, and feels very inconvenient.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, a mask body to which a drug layer is applied and an ear hook part connected to the left and right of the mask body, the drug layer of the mask body being in contact with the skin. A cosmetic mask is known that is applied to a predetermined portion of the face and includes an ear hook portion that locks to the left and right ears when the mask body is applied to the face (see Patent Document 1).
In addition, the mask part covering the garment part, the cheek part, and the parotid masseter muscle part, or the mask part covering the frontal head, the eye socket, the lower part of the eye socket and the cheekbone part, and the outer edges of the mask part There is known a cloud-shaped face mask in which the ear hooks are integrated (see Patent Document 2).

On the other hand, in humans, skin and muscle tissues, particularly facial muscles, lose skin tension and muscle elasticity with aging, and aging causes facial looseness and wrinkles.
In recent years, along with the increase in economic space, there is a tendency among women to increase their desire to keep their appearance young by minimizing the loss of facial skin tension and muscle elasticity.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the musculature of a human face, and this figure explains the relationship between facial muscles and wrinkles and talmi associated with aging.

(A) The ocular muscles surround the eyes and close and open the eyelids. They move quickly because they are thin, but muscle weakness tends to lead to wrinkles in the corners of the eyes and to the sagging of the upper eyelids. (B) The small zygomatic muscle is an important muscle for making a smile that raises the mouth diagonally. It eliminates the stiffness of the cheeks, which results in a natural smile, but if this muscle weakens, it can easily sag on the cheeks. (C) The large zygomatic muscle is a muscle that is used when raising the corners of the mouth and cheeks and laughing greatly. (D) The cheek muscles are muscles that extend from the joints of the upper and lower jaws toward both ends of the mouth and lift the mouth corners diagonally upward. When this muscle ages, the mouth tends to sag. (E) The muzzle muscles are the muscles surrounding the lips, and the weakening of the muscle strength causes the mouth to give an old impression with a lowered corner. (F) Laughter muscles are muscles that extend the corners of the mouth outwards and extend from the gills to the mouth, creating a charming exotic. However, if the elasticity is lost, the mouth becomes easier to see. (G) The genital muscle is a muscle that extends from under the lips to the chin, and when the muscle strength decreases, it becomes a double chin.
Various proposals have been made for the purpose of preventing and improving the occurrence of such looseness of the face.

  For example, for the purpose of tightening the muscles of the cheekbone where the slack is conspicuous and the eyes, the lower jaw is covered with the lower jaw covering portion 5, the cheek is covered with the cheek covering portion 6, and the head is covered with the head covering portion 7. The constructed covering 1 having a complicated shape is mounted between the lower jaw and the top of the head, and the pusher 2 near the cheekbone that pushes up the muscle near the cheekbone, and the pushup body 3 near the temple that pushes up the muscle near the temple. A beauty tool provided so as to protrude inside the covering 6 has been proposed (see Patent Document 3).

Further, for the purpose of tightening the area under the cheekbone and the muscles of the eyes to stretch the area extending from the top of the face 3 to the vicinity of the outer eyelid commissure 12, each eyelid covering portion is provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction shown in FIG. A facial relaxation prevention and improvement device 1 having a structure 13 formed symmetrically is mounted between the lower jaw and the top of the head, and the parotid masseter 5, outer eyelid commissure 12, mental part 6, etc. There has been proposed an improvement tool capable of applying a tensile force to (see Patent Document 4).
Another object of the present invention is to provide a sheet-like cosmetic excellent in preventing fine lines, preventing aging, and stretching the skin, and is a water-soluble collagen peptide having an antioxidant property against an oily solution of coenzyme Q-10 and alpha lipoic acid. There has been proposed a face mask impregnated with a water-based blended liquid obtained by blending (see Patent Document 5).
