The present disclosure is related to skin care mask gloves and mask socks.
Skin care mask gloves and socks have become popular tools for providing skin care to hands and feet for women as well as men. The inside of such gloves and socks are filled with nourishing essence or cream to help hydrate and nourish the skin. In order to hydrate and nourish the skin properly, however, the mask gloves and/or socks must be worn for a long duration, and a person wearing the gloves/socks is not able to perform, or participate in, other useful activities for the duration. While wearing the gloves and/or socks, a person must also ensure that the gloves and/or socks are properly tightened to prevent the moistures and nourishments from escaping.
In accordance with the disclosed subject matter, skin care mask gloves and socks are provided. Specifically, the disclosed skin care mask gloves and socks enable and facilitate manicure, pedicure and/or other cosmetic services as well as some therapeutic treatments while providing desired skin care to the hands and feet.
The disclosed subject matter includes a skin care mask glove comprising a glove portion. The glove portion includes an opening section having an opening configured for receiving a hand and a tightening strap for tightening the opening section after a hand is inserted. The glove portion also includes a hand section, a thumb section and a set of finger sections. The thumb section includes a first perforated line and a removable thumb end-portion. Each of the finger sections has a second perforated line and a removable finger end-portion. The removable finger end-portions may be connected via connector fabric. The glove portion is constructed having, among other things, an outer layer, an inner layer and a layer of a skin care product.
The disclosed subject matter also includes a skin care mask sock comprising a sock portion and a leg extension portion. The sock portion includes a first opening section having a first opening configured for receiving a foot and a first tightening strap for tightening the first opening section after a foot is inserted. The sock portion also includes a foot section and a toe section having a first perforated line and a removable end-portion. The sock portion is constructed having, among other things, a first outer layer, a first inner layer and a layer of a first skin care product.
The leg extension portion includes a second opening section having a second opening configured for receiving a foot and a second tightening strap for tightening the second opening section after a foot is inserted. The leg extension portion also includes a leg section and an ankle section that is coupled to the first opening section and that has a third opening and a third tightening strap for tightening the ankle section after a foot is inserted. The first opening section is coupled to the ankle section via a middle section having a second perforated line. The leg extension portion is made of, among other things, a second outer layer, a second inner layer and a layer of a second skin care product.
The disclosed subject matter further includes a skin care mask glove comprising a glove portion and an arm extension portion. The glove portion includes a first opening section having a first opening configured for receiving a hand and a first tightening strap for tightening the first opening section after a hand is inserted. The glove portion also includes a hand section, a thumb section and a set of finger sections. The thumb section includes a first perforated line and a removable thumb end-portion. Each of the finger sections has a second perforated line and a removable finger end-portion. The removable finger end-portions are connected via connector fabric. The glove portion is made of, among other things, a first outer layer, a first inner layer and a layer of a first skin care product. The first inner layer is an absorbent carrying the first skin care product.
The arm extension portion includes a second opening section having a second opening configured for receiving a hand and a second tightening strap for tightening the second opening section after a hand is inserted. The arm extension portion also includes an arm section and a wrist section that is coupled to the first opening section and that has a third tightening strap for tightening the wrist section after a hand is inserted. The arm extension portion is constructed having, among other things, a second outer layer, a second inner layer and a layer of a second skin care product. The second inner layer is an absorbent carrying the second skin care product. The glove portion and the arm extension portion are coupled via a middle section having a third perforated line configured to facilitate separation of the hand portion from the arm extension portion. The glove portion, the arm extension portion and the middle section form a unified structure.
