In some embodiments, an authorization server device receives a request for an activation token to activate a personal care device. The authorization server device determines an authorized usage amount, and generates an activation token based on the authorized usage amount to be transmitted to the personal care device. Activation of a personal care device may be authorized based on consumable products obtained for use with the personal care device. By limiting activation of the personal care device based on consumable products obtained for use with the personal care device, the technical problems in overuse of some consumable products (such as brush heads) or underuse of other consumable products (such as serums or cleansers) can be avoided, and maximum results from use of the personal care devices can be easier to obtain.

A transmission device and a face cleaning instrument, the transmission device includes an output shaft; an output mechanism connected with the output shaft; a first drive mechanism; a rotation transmission mechanism connected with the first drive mechanism and configured to convert kinetic energy output by the first drive mechanism into rotation motion to be transmitted to the output mechanism; a slewing transmission mechanism connected with the first drive mechanism and configured to convert kinetic energy output by the first drive mechanism into slewing and vibration to be transmitted to the output mechanism; and a second drive mechanism. The same cleaning brush is enabled to switch between the rotation motion and the slewing and vibration freely according to actual requirement is implemented.

Disclosed is a sterilizable facial cleaning instrument, which comprises a main apparatus, and a driving motor, a first control board and a rechargeable battery that are provided in the main apparatus, and further comprises an apparatus seat provided with a sterilization cavity, wherein an ultraviolet germicidal lamp is provided in the sterilization cavity; the main apparatus is detachably provided at the apparatus seat and at least a part of a brush head is positioned in the sterilization cavity, so that bristles positioned in the sterilization cavity can be sterilized by ultraviolet irradiation. The sterilizable facial cleaning instrument provided by the present invention can sterilize and disinfect the brush head completely when the main apparatus is combined with the separable designed apparatus seat, thereby ensuring the health and safety of users.

A soap-dispensing bath sponge assembly is adapted to house a liquid soap product within a body thereof, and further adapted to dispense soap through an exfoliating material, such as a brush and/or sponge material, thereby creating a foamy lather for application to the body of a user or non-human surface, such as a vehicle. The body of the soap-dispensing bath sponge assembly is adapted to be flexibly-modulated (squeezed), thereby generating pressure within an internal volume of the body, forcing the liquid soap product through slit valves (or similar features) and into a volume of the exfoliating material.

The foot scrubber shower brush is a personal care implement that may be placed on a floor and may be adapted to clean a foot without requiring a user to bend down. As a non-limiting example, the floor may be the bottom surface of a shower stall. The foot scrubber shower brush is adapted to clean a right foot by placing a left foot on the left side platform to hold the foot scrubber shower brush in place while the right foot is brushed. The foot scrubber shower brush is adapted to clean the left foot by placing the right foot on the right side platform to hold the foot scrubber shower brush in place while the left foot is brushed.

The powered scrubbing device with telescoping handle includes a handheld, battery-powered scrubbing device having a telescoping handle. The battery powers a motor that drives a reciprocator, which provides linear reciprocating motion to an attached sponge or brush. The reciprocating speed may be controlled by a user through a button on a body of the device. A scrubbing pad may be removably attachable so it can be replaced when worn out or when a user requires a scrubbing pad having different scrubbing characteristics. The telescoping handle may be extended for accessing hard to reach places with the scrubbing device.

A scrubbing pad may be removably attachable so it can be replaced when worn out or when a user requires a scrubbing pad having different scrubbing characteristics. The telescoping handle may be attached for accessing hard to reach places with the scrubbing device.

The Hair Removal Device may be a wall mounted assembly of spines or tentacles projecting outward from the wall and disposed to form a plurality of finger rows therebetween. The tentacles being a flexible, resilient material adapted to urge hair on a user's finger to engage a tentacle and release from the finger whereby the hair follicle is captured and retained until cleaned for proper disposal.

A device may include a handle component that is configured to permit a user to grasp the handle component during a sanitation process of the user wherein the user sanitizes a distal appendage using the device. The device may include a shaft component that extends in a vertical direction and that is configured to connect the handle component and a connection component. The device may include the connection component that is configured to removably adhere to a surface to permit the device to remain substantially stationary during the sanitation process of the user. The device may include a brush component that is configured to permit the user to perform the sanitation process of the user and that is removably connected to the connection component.

A personal care system having a treatment device for applying a treatment to the skin or hair of a user is provided. The treatment device has a camera for taking an image of the skin. The system may include or be in communication with an application programming interface (API) that can process the image. The system or an associated API can recommend the use of treatment regimens or topical products according to information determined from the digital image of the skin.
