When the roller beads (20) are rolled along the surface of the skin by a user, the liquid solution (10) is configured to be applied to the skin via the roller beads (20) as the roller beads (20) massage the skin's surface.

(15) In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, three roller beads (20) are present atop the head (30) of the application of the present invention. In such an embodiment, the roller beads (20) are arranged in a triangular shape. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, five roller beads (20) are present, and are preferably arranged such that one bead centrally disposed on the head, with the remaining four roller beads (20) arranged around the central bead. In other preferred embodiments, seven (or more) roller beads (20) may be present, similarly arranged with one or more central beads surrounded by the remaining roller beads (20).

(16) The process of use of the present invention, as depicted in FIG. 3, is preferably as follows: 1. First the user removes the head or plunger of the apparatus and fills the container portion with a serum (namely a liquid skin care solution) of his/her choice. (100) 2. Next, the user affixes the head (or plunger) to the top of the apparatus. (110) 3. Then, the user proceeds to wash his or her face thoroughly, making sure the face is free of makeup and debris. (120) 4. Then, the user squeezes or simply inverts the apparatus to expel the serum of the integrated container such that the roller beads are covered with the serum. (130) 5. Next, the user gently and rhythmically rolls the roller beads of the apparatus along the surface of the skin of the user. (140) The ideal progressive order of the application of the serum via the apparatus of the present invention is preferably as follows: a. Rolling the roller beads over a first side of one's neck. b. Rolling the roller beads over a second side of one's neck. c. Rolling the roller beads over a first side of one's lower face. d. Rolling the roller beads over a second side of one's lower face. e. Rolling the roller beads around one's mouth. f. Rolling the roller beads around a first eye, including a first half of one's forehead. g. Rolling the roller beads around a second eye, including a second half of one's forehead. 6. Next, the user detaches the head, including the roller beads, and cleans the head with soap and warm water. (150) 7. Then, the user blots the head dry on a soft cloth. (160) 8. Next, the user reattaches the head to the body of the apparatus, sealing the container portion of the apparatus to preserve any remaining serum within the container. (170) 9.

(17) Preferred orientations of the roller beads (20) found on the head (30) of the present invention preferably include: a triangular orientation having three roller beads approximately equal in size arranged in triangle, a donut orientation having a large central roller bead circled by smaller roller beads, two large roller beads disposed at an angle with spacing between them to facilitate use of a single roller bead if desired, a single oblong roller bead in a horizontal orientation, dual oblong roller beads in a horizontal orientation, and other similar arrangements. Oblong roller beads are preferably 1 and inches to two inches in length, however other sized roller beads may be instituted during manufacturing.

(18) It should be understood that the cavity of the container portion (40) of the present invention is refillable by the user, and that any beauty serum may be placed within the cavity for use via the apparatus of the present invention. As such, each embodiment of the present invention is configured for reuse by the user. Additionally, some embodiments of the present invention may be purchased pre-filled with serum.

(19) Alternately, some embodiments of the present invention may be equipped (or bundled with) additional iterations of the head (30) to facilitate an interchangeable nature of the apparatus. As such, the user may opt to use oblong roller balls for some portions of the skin, such as the neck, and then switch out the head (30) equipped with oblong roller beads for a different iteration of the head (30) which has spherical roller beads (20). An embodiment with oblong, elongated rollers can be seen in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. Other embodiments of the present invention may employ a head (30) which is fixed in position. In such instances, the user may then refill the container portion (40) with serum from a bottom of the apparatus, which is preferably equipped with a threaded lid.

(20) It should be noted that the container portion (40) of the present invention is opaque, as the serum configured to be housed within the cavity of the container portion (40) is light-sensitive, and therefore should be kept in the dark to maintain efficacy and maximize the shelf life of the serum.

(21) Some alternate embodiments of the present invention may vary in terms of scale. For example, a larger version of the present invention may be manufactured for more comfortable use on the body (rather than just the face), such as on the legs, arms, hands, and feet. In such embodiments, the roller beads (20), head (30), and container portion (40) are all larger in order to accommodate larger regions of the body, as well as to hold more serum.
