The invention provides a skin treatment device especially for use for treating skin in terms of cleaning, exfoliating and/or massaging the skin. The device comprising a housing and a skin treatment head releasably attached to the housing. The skin treatment head being rotatable around an axis element associated with the housing, wherein the housing encloses an actuator configured to rotate the skin treatment head, wherein the skin treatment head comprises one or more brushes associated with a support element, wherein the device further comprises a first thermally conductive element configured at a shortest distance (d1) to the one or more brushes selected from the range of 0-40 mm, and wherein the device further comprises a thermoelectric element configured to heat in a first mode the first thermally conductive element to provide a hot surface.

A one-way valve adapted to be provided in a pressable container from which material is ejected wherein the valve includes: two adjacent tongues extending from a circumference of the pressable container, wherein the two adjacent tongues have two states: a first state wherein the tongues are not folded on a fold line, thereby the material passes between the tongues; and a second state wherein the tongues are folded on the fold line and prevent passage of material through them; and an opening, for ejecting the material therethrough at the first state, wherein the opening is disposed above the fold line at the first state, and below the fold line at the second state.

A brush includes a brush head moving mechanism and a removable brush head for applying flowable matter to a surface, the brush head including a chamber for retaining flowable matter, a chamber delivery wall with outwardly protruding bristles and with delivery ball ports among the bristles into each of which a matter delivery ball is rotatably seated and retained by ball retaining structures to partly protrude through the delivery wall, and an opposing chamber mounting wall with brush head mounting means for connecting the brush head to the moving mechanism, and having a chamber side wall interconnecting the chamber delivery wall and the chamber mounting wall to form a closed and sealed container for the flowable matter.

A brush comprising a first motor to control a rotation of a brush head, a second motor to control a vibration of the brush head. In one embodiment, the brush further comprises a controller to control of a ratio between the rotation and the vibration.

Disclosed is a magnetic elastic hairdressing massage comb, which includes a circle of outer non-electric conductive adiabatic gears with a certain interval space arranged around a working face of the shell and a heat conductive comb body layer arranged at the inner of the non-electric conductive adiabatic gear circle, on which several lattice arrayed magnetic elastic moving gears are set. Said magnetic elastic moving gears are hollow heat conductive gears. A heat resistant magnetic body X is fixed in the bottom of the hollow heat conductive gear body. On the upside of X, a heat resistant magnetic body Y is arranged with X with like poles facing each other. The top of Y is connected to a small high-temperature resistant adiabatic column, which stretches out of the opening at the top of said hollow heat guide gears.

An oscillating motor suitable for use with a personal care appliance is provided. The oscillating motor is configured with a reduced motor envelope as compared to conventional motors in order to be suitable for personal care appliances with smaller handles.

A cosmetic device with an exchangeable application head and a device body is disclosed, wherein the device body contains a motor and drive mechanism, an actuating switch, a power supply, a head recognition element and a control element adapted to control the motor and drive mechanism based on an actuation of the actuation switch and the application head recognized by the head recognition element. It is provided that the head recognition element comprises at least one mechanical switch disposed on a carrier fixed at the device body. Further, a flexible actuation area is disposed in front of the at least one mechanical switch. The exchangeable application head has at least one recognition generating protrusion actuating through the flexible actuation area on one of the at least one mechanical switches when the exchangeable application head is mounted at the device body.

A facial treatment apparatus includes a housing, a facial treatment member mounted to the housing, and dimensioned for application to facial skin of a subject and being actuable to treat the facial skin, a visual display including a facial icon having a plurality of regions corresponding to different areas of the facial skin to be treated by the facial treatment member, an electronic timer adapted to count time associated with a treatment protocol and responsive to actuation of the facial treatment member and a controller associated with the timer and the facial icon and cooperating to visually identify a different region of the facial icon at successive predetermined time intervals of the treatment protocol.

A therapeutic device for massaging, cleansing, or delivering of liquid substances has a variably configurable handle that is adapted to function with a plurality of head attachments. The handles may be swiveled relative to each other at various angled positions, or they may be detached to function as two, separate devices.
