Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a smile forming aid that is used by being attached to the face and allows one to experience the state of facial expression muscles when smiling.

When people eat delicious food or meet someone they want to meet, they become happy and their faces naturally smile. Also, when people see a smiling person, their tension eases, their mood becomes brighter, and they naturally smile. Also, when people see a smiling baby, their hearts are healed and they naturally smile. When you smile, both the smiling person and the people who see you smile become brighter and more positive. In this way, smiling is very good for both the person and others.

By the way, people sometimes feel depressed, uncomfortable, or angry. If you can consciously smile, others who see your smile will be freed from feelings of depression, discomfort, or anger, and will feel brighter and more positive. The person who smiles will also be freed from feelings of depression, discomfort, or anger, and will feel brighter and more positive.

However, a smile naturally appears on our faces when we are happy or happy, and it is difficult to consciously create a smile. Smiles are created by moving and tensing the facial expression muscles, and we are trying to figure out which parts of the facial muscles to move and how to tense them. I'm not sure if I can make a smile that looks like this.

For this reason, a smile that is consciously created tends to look unnatural, and it is quite difficult to create a smile that looks as natural as desired. If there were an assistive device that would allow us to learn how to move our facial expression muscles and how much tension to create a natural smile without looking in the mirror, and make it a habit. It's very convenient.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention conducted extensive research on such auxiliary tools, and thought that such an auxiliary tool could be obtained by applying a face pack or a face mask (see Figure 3), leading to the creation of the present invention. Ta.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the smile formation aid according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the usage state of the smile formation aid according to the present invention, viewed from an oblique direction. FIG. 3 is a plan view of a conventional face pack.

The goal of making it possible to quickly create a natural-looking smile without looking in the mirror was achieved by using simple aids and without tedious training.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the smile formation aid according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a smile forming aid, and the smile forming aid 10 includes a mouth covering part 12 that covers the vicinity of the mouth, a pair of left and right cheek covering parts 14, 14 that cover the vicinity of the cheeks, and a nose covering part 12 that covers the vicinity of the mouth. It consists of a nose covering part 16 that covers the nose, and a pair of left and right wing parts 18 that cover the vicinity of the face line, that is, the area from the chin to the temple.

An opening 20 is formed near the center of the mouth covering part 12. The opening 20 has the shape of the mouth of the face to be pasted, and has a shape that approximates the shape of the mouth with the corners of the mouth raised. A shape that approximates the shape of a mouth with raised corners is a shape that resembles a crescent moon placed on its side. The lower edge of this crescent is highly curved, and the upper edge of the crescent is less curved than the lower edge.

The opening 20 is formed in a region corresponding to the mouth of the face to which it is pasted. As shown in FIG. 2, the vicinity of the mouth corner of the opening 20, which corresponds to the corner of the mouth, is located at a height above the mouth corner of the face to be pasted, and the opening 20 is located at a height above the mouth corner of the face to be pasted. It opens toward the inside of the opening 20 as a part of the opening 20. The size of the opening 20 is preferably slightly larger than the size of the mouth so that the shape of the mouth can be seen through the opening 20 when the smile forming aid 10 is attached to the face.

The pair of left and right cheek covering parts 14, 14 are each formed to extend continuously on both sides of the mouth covering part 12. The upper edges of the pair of left and right cheek covering parts 14, 14 are gently curved along the line of the lower eyelid of the face to which they are pasted.

The nose covering part 16 is formed to extend above the mouth covering part 12. There are incisions 22 around the nose covering part 16, at the sides of the nose, and at the bottom of the nose, so that when the smile formation aid 10 is attached to the face, the outer edge of the nose covering part 16 is separated from the surrounding area. It can be used alone to cover the nose.

Below the mouth covering parts 12, 12 and the cheek covering parts 14, 14, a pair of left and right wing parts 18, 18 are extended. The wing portion 18 is partially connected to the mouth covering portion 12 in the vicinity of contacting the jaw on the lower side of the mouth covering portion 12 . The wing portion 18 and the cheek covering portion 14 are adjacent to each other with the cut 24 interposed therebetween. The pair of left and right wing portions 18, 18 are adjacent to each other with a notch 26 interposed therebetween in the vicinity of contacting the jaw.

The mouth covering part 12, cheek covering parts 14, 14, and nose covering part 16 described above do not have clear boundaries. The mouth covering part 12 is called a part that covers the area near the mouth, the cheek covering parts 14 are called parts that cover the area near the cheeks, and the nose covering part 16 is called the part that covers the area near the nose. This means that these covering parts 12, 14, and 16 collectively form the smile forming aid 10.

Each part 12, 14, 16, 18 of the smile forming aid 10 is formed by cutting out a sheet-like material. As the sheet-like material, for example, paper or thin non-woven fabric can be used, but materials other than paper or thin non-woven fabric may also be used as long as they have properties comparable to those of paper or thin non-woven fabric. The thickness and elasticity are arbitrary. Each part 12, 14, 16, 18 of the smile formation aid 10 and the outer edge of each notch 22, 24, 26 may or may not have an outline drawn. .

The smile forming aid 10 is coated with or impregnated with a cream, gel, or aqueous solution containing beauty ingredients. Examples of cosmetic ingredients include ceramide, placenta extract, hyaluronic acid, collagen, amino acids, vitamin C derivatives, tranexamic acid, retinol, fullerene, etc., but ingredients other than these may also be included.

Next, a method of using the smile formation aid according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, the smile forming aid 10 according to the present invention is picked up with fingers and taken out from the packaging bag. Pinch both ends of the cheek covering part 14 of the smile formation aid 10 with the fingers of both hands to spread the smile formation aid 10, and bring the smile formation aid 10 in front of the face while looking in a mirror. The opening 20 of the mouth covering part 12 is aligned with the position of the mouth, and the mouth covering part 12 is attached to the mouth in this state. Since the smile forming aid 10 is coated with or impregnated with a cream, gel, or aqueous solution containing beauty ingredients, the mouth covering portion 12 sticks to the mouth.

Here, when attaching the mouth covering part 12 to the mouth, while looking in a mirror, pull up the corners of the mouth to match the shape of the mouth to the shape of the opening 20. The opening 20 of the mouth covering part 12 has a shape that approximates the shape of the mouth with the corners of the mouth raised, so if the corners of the mouth are raised to match the shape of the mouth to the shape of the opening 20, the face will naturally smile. .

When attaching the mouth covering part 12 to the mouth, the upper edge of the cheek covering part 14 is placed along the line of the lower eyelids and under the eyes. By aligning the upper edge of the cheek covering part 14 in this way, the mouth covering part 12 and the cheek covering part 14 can be smoothly attached to the face. When the mouth covering part 12 and the cheek covering part 14 are attached to the face in this manner, the moisture around the eyes is further increased. Since the mouth covering part 12 and the cheek covering part 14 are about the size of the lower half of the face, they are easy to handle and the position to which they are attached is relatively easy to adjust.

Further, the nose is covered with a nose covering part 16. Since the notch 22 is provided around the nose covering part 16, when the nose is covered with the nose covering part 16, the nose can be covered three-dimensionally by the nose covering part 16. The left and right pair of wing parts 18, 18 are lifted up as if wrapping both cheeks with the wing parts 18, 18, and the wing parts 18, 18 are attached to the cheek parts.

After attaching the smile forming aid 10 to the face, the facial muscles that raise the corners of the mouth are relaxed and this state is maintained for a while. If the facial muscles at the corners of the mouth are relaxed and the smile forming aid 10 is left attached to the mouth, the facial muscles at the corners of the mouth will feel like they are being pulled up by the smile forming aid 10. . If you spend time in this state, you will be able to physically recognize the facial muscles that raise the corners of your mouth and remember them as a physical sensation.

Next, I removed the smile forming aid 10 from my face and tried to consciously create a smile by raising the facial muscles at the corners of my mouth . Since this is after the smile formation aid 10 has been pasted on the face, the user remembers through experience which facial muscles were lifting the corners of the mouth , and also remembers through experience the degree of lifting, and the facial expressions used to raise the corners of the mouth. I was able to easily raise my muscles and create a natural, well-balanced smile without looking in the mirror.

The present invention makes it possible to physically recognize facial muscles other than smiling by positioning parts of the face other than the corners of the mouth on a sheet-like material that can be attached to the face. This can also be applied to learning to move consciously.
