Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an absorbent face mask which covers an outer layer of skin on a face of a wearer, is absorbed as a skin treatment and is used as a primer before the wearer applies a layer of makeup.
2. Description of Related Art
Men and women are constantly looking for the latest and greatest in skin care and skin rejuvenation. The current market offers creams, lotions, injectables, pills and serums all offering to rewind the hands of time and give a user fresher younger looking skin. Along with the wide range of application methods are an even larger variety of ingredients. Everything from seaweed to placentas are offered as the key ingredient to these various facial treatments. While many of the products do help a person look and feel younger, people are always researching and looking to create the most perfect skin regimen.
Some problems with the current skin treatments, besides not working, are that they may be greasy, thin or difficult to use. Most people do not enjoy spending large amounts of time with creams on their face, keeping them away from enjoying their daily lives. With the busy lifestyles of many individuals, waiting for a facial mask to take effect and them be removed is considered an inconvenience. Also, there are very few products which can be worn easily under makeup without leaving the face feeling greasy or prohibiting proper makeup application. Most leave-on treatments do not allow the person to both treat their skin and wear makeup at the same time.
It would be desirable to have a facial treatment which can be absorbed into the facial skin while providing skin rejuvenation and refreshment. It would also be beneficial to have a facial treatment which may put on before applying makeup and it will not cause the makeup to smear or come off.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present relates to an absorbent face mask to cover and hide any skin imperfections a person has on their face. The mask is put on the face and absorbed to serve as a primer before the person applies their makeup. The absorbent mask prevents the makeup from getting into the lines and creases on the surface of the wearer's skin, while simultaneously providing a beneficial skin treatment.
The absorbent face mask comprises a forehead cover, a chin cover, a set of cheek covers, a pair of eye holes, a set of nostril holes, a mouth hole; and a plurality of ingredients wherein the plurality of ingredients hold together to create the absorbent face mask which is absorbed into an outer layer of skin of a wearer as a primer before the wearer applies a layer of makeup.
These together with other aspects of the present invention, along with the various features of novelty that characterize the present invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and form a part of this present invention. For a better understanding of the present invention, its operating advantages, and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The advantages and features of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following detailed description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein like elements are identified with like symbols, and in which:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an absorbent face mask in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The present invention relates to an absorbent face mask which may cover an outer layer of skin on a face of a wearer. The absorbent face mask may be absorbed as a skin treatment and result as a primer before the wearer applies a layer of makeup. The absorbent face mask may offer the wearer a rejuvenating facial treatment while preventing makeup from settling into the fine lines and creases on the outer surface of the skin. The absorbent face mask may be enriched with the antioxidants and vitamins essential to collagen production which in turn improve the overall appearance of the skin. Incorporating a multitude of vitamin enriched, naturally derived ingredients, the absorbent face mask may be used with relative ease and efficiency, offering a one step application simple and convenient for everyone.
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, referring to FIG. 1, a perspective view of an absorbent face mask (100) is shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The absorbent face mask (100) may be circular or oval in shape to cover an entire outer surface of a face of a wearer. The absorbent face mask (100) may include a forehead cover (102), a chin cover (104) and a set of cheek covers (106) (hereinafter cheek covers) on each side of the absorbent face mask (100). The absorbent face mask (100) may include a set of eye holes (110) to rest above the eyes of the wearer to allow the wearer to see while the absorbent face mask (100) is on their face. Also, the skin around the eyes is very sensitive to many chemicals and the same chemicals applied to the face cannot always be applied to the eyes. A set of nose holes (112) above the nostrils of the wearer, may be centrally located on the absorbent face mask (100) to permit the wearer to breath easily. Finally a mouth hole (114) may be located under the nose holes (112) by the chin cover (104). The mouth hole (114) may keep the lips free of chemicals and enable the wearer to talk.
The absorbent face mask may be composed from a plurality of ingredients (hereinafter ingredients) chosen from a luxurious selection of chemicals, vitamins and tightening agents. Each of the ingredients was specifically selected for their plumping and nourishing qualities for damaged skin. The ingredients included in the absorbent face mask may be as follows:

Finally, the wearer may continue to work, watch TV or read while the absorbent face mask is absorbed into the skin of the wearer. The absorbent face mask may be applied at night or during the day.
