Abstract

A friction tool for use in a cosmetic method for the treatment of mammalian skin, the tool comprising a body defining a support having a planar support face; a resiliently deformable friction pad provided to the support face, the friction pad defining a friction face, the friction pad further comprising a net-like layer provided at said friction face such as integrally thereto, and a cosmetic method which can be performed using the friction tool.

Claims

1. A friction tool for use in a cosmetic method for the treatment of mammalian skin, the tool comprising

a body;

said body defining a support having a planar support face;

a resiliently deformable friction pad provided to said support face, said friction pad defining a friction face,

wherein the friction pad further comprises a net-like layer provided at said friction face.

2. A friction tool according to claim 1, wherein the friction pad comprises a lofty non-woven fibre material and the net-like layer is provided as a separate layer to the lofty non-woven fibre material.

3. A friction tool according to claim 1, wherein the friction pad comprises a lofty non-woven fibre material and the net-like layer is provided as an integral layer to the lofty non-woven fibre material.

4. A friction tool according to claim 3, wherein the net-like layer is provided by adapting the lofty non-woven fibre material such as to define a net-like layer integral therewith.

11. A friction tool according to claim 1, wherein the friction pad comprises a lofty non-woven fibre material comprising a web of interlaced non-woven fibres in the form of a three dimensional fibrous matrix with said non-woven fibres orientated and spaced to thereby define the net-like layer.
