The present invention is directed to a skin care composition, use of the composition, particularly on unexposed skin areas, and an apparatus for applying the composition to such unexposed and hard to reach skin areas. The composition is most suitable for application to unexposed skin to alleviate dryness, itchiness, odor and/or bacterial growth and comprises from about 0.5 to about 3.0% by weight skin-protectant agent, from about 0.5 to about 3.0% by weight preservative, from about 25 to 50% by weight alcohol, and the remainder being water.

A scalp scrubber for insertion between the scalp of a human head and an artificial hair piece attached to the scalp along at least a portion of the perimeter of the hair piece. The scrubber includes a handle portion having a free end and a scrubber head portion attached to the opposite end of the handle portion. The head portion, which is wide and flat, also includes a plurality of flexible teeth having rounded exposed tips. The teeth are no longer than approximately 3/16 of an inch, whereby the overall thickness of the scrubber head portion and teeth is no greater than 1/2 of an inch to permit easy insertion of the scrubber head portion between the human head's scalp and the hair piece without disturbing the attachment between the scalp and the hair piece. The handle and scrubber head portions may be provided with ducts to permit the passage of water during the scrubbing and cleansing process to clean the scalp and the hair piece, and warm air during the drying process to dry the scalp and the hair piece. Preferably, the head portion has, in cross-section, the approximate profile of a human skull and is thicker in the middle and tapered toward the edge, whereby the head portion may be used on the human head scalp in areas close to the attachment between the scalp and the hair piece without disturbing such attachment. Preferably, the teeth are spread approximately 3/16 of an inch apart.

An ergonomic cosmetic applicator designed to work with the contours of the face. The applicator comprises at least five surfaces: one upper surface, one lower surface, and at least three lateral surfaces, wherein one lateral surface is concave in shape, one lateral surface is substantially linear or flat in shape, and any two lateral surfaces meet to form a tip portion. The lateral concave surface allows precision application of a makeup, for example, to the outer side of the face, under the jawline, and under the eye. The lateral linear or flat surface of the applicator enables application of the makeup to the flat surfaces of the face, such as the cheek. The tip portion allows the consumer to reach into the corners of the eye, and around the mouth and nose.

An implement for stimulation and cleansing of the scalp. An elongate, flexible handle formed by a pair of wire stems extending from a coil is provided. Scalp stimulation tips extend from the ends of the wire stems for being engaged on the scalp beneath a hairpiece. A cleansing pad is slidably mounted on the wire stems for cleansing the scalp. The cleansing pad may be moved between each end of the handle, so as to obscure the stimulation tips for cleansing without stimulation, or moved behind the tips for simultaneous cleansing and stimulation, or still further moved to the far end of the handle for scalp stimulation only.
