Abstract

A cosmetic facial mask is described, having high fitting properties onto skin, an excellent skin tightening effect, and an excellent lift-up effect on a flaccid cheek or face line. The cosmetic facial mask includes a laminate in which a non-elastomeric fiber layer and an elastomer layer are integrated through lamination, and has stretchability in a vertical direction of a face.

Claims

1. A cosmetic facial mask, comprising:

a first member constituted to cover a part of a face, comprising a laminate in which a non-elastomeric fiber layer and an elastomer layer are integrated through lamination, and having stretchability in a vertical direction of the cosmetic facial mask; and

a second member constituted to cover another part of the face, having stretchability in a direction other than the vertical direction of the cosmetic facial mask, or having no stretchability,

wherein the cosmetic facial mask has two first openings at positions corresponding to eyes of a user and one second opening at a position corresponding to a nose of the user, and the vertical direction of the cosmetic facial mask is defined by the position of the second opening and a middle position of the positions of the two first opening.

2. The cosmetic facial mask according to claim 1, wherein a stress of the first member at 50% elongation in a wet state is in a range of 0.4 to 5.0 N/25 mm, and an elongation recovery ratio of the first member at 50% elongation in the wet state is 50% or more.

3. The cosmetic facial mask according to claim 1, wherein a stress of the first member at 25% elongation recovery in a wet state is in a range of 0.02 to 1.5 N/25 mm.

4. The cosmetic facial mask according to claim 1, wherein the non-elastomeric fiber layer is subjected to nonwoven fabric formation by entangling fibers with each other in a fiber layer in a thickness direction of the fiber layer.

5. The cosmetic facial mask according to claim 1, wherein the elastomer layer comprises a nonwoven fabric formed by at least one kind of method selected from the group of a melt-blown method and a spunbond method.

6. A method for using a cosmetic facial mask, comprising:

providing the cosmetic facial mask as recited in claim 1, wherein the first member of the cosmetic facial mask is worn while being stretched in a downward direction and/or a right-left diagonally downward direction of a face by applying an arbitrary one or more points of a temple part, a cheek part and a lower part of a nose as a supporting point.

7. A beautifying method, comprising:

providing the cosmetic facial mask as recited in claim 1;

wearing the cosmetic facial mask; and

keeping the cosmetic facial mask on the face.

8. The cosmetic facial mask according to claim 1, wherein the non-elastomeric fiber layer includes a fiber layer obtained by aligning fibers by carding, and an alignment direction of the fibers coincides with a cross direction of the cosmetic facial mask that is perpendicular to the vertical direction of the cosmetic facial mask, so that the cosmetic facial mask has stretchability in the vertical direction of the cosmetic facial mask.
