System for skin treatment application

Abstract

A system and method for the application of a skin care product including a special applicator termed a fingerlette, a spatulette and a palette. The spatulette is used to transfer a skin care product from a its native container to the palette which is then dapped or patted by the fingerlette which transfers some of the product to the adsorbent surface of the fingerlette which is then applied to the skin for even application. Because all product is transferred to the skin, the system is especially advantageous for conservation of costly skin care preparations.

1 . A system for the non-retentive transfer of a skin care product from a container to the skin surface comprising:
 a spatulette possessing a handle portion and a scoop portion; and,   a palette; and,   a fingerlette having an adsorbent surface and a waisted portion; and,   the system in which the skin care product is transferred initially
 (i) from a native container by the spatulette, then 
 (ii) from the spatulette to the surface of the palette, then, 
 (iii) from the palette to the surface of the fingerlette, and then 
 (iv) from the fingerlette to the skin surface. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , in which the waisted portion of the fingerlette acts as a girdle to hold the fingerlette securely to the fingers. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , in which a plurality of fingerlettes can be packaged and stored stacked and flat. 
     
     
         4 . A method for applying a skin care product comprising the following steps:
 (i) transfering an amount of product to a palette with a spatulette; and,
 (ii) transfering a amount of product to a fingerlette having an adsorbent surface by dipping or patting the fingerlette against the palette; and, 
 (iii) distributing the product over a skin surface by patting and rubbing for an evenness of application; and, 
 (iv) repeating any of the foregoing steps (i-iii) as required; and, 
 (v) in case of a one-time use, removing the elastic finger cover from the fingers by grasping the opening of the fingerlette and pulling the waisted portion up and over the body of the fingerlette so as to turn the fingerlette inside out.
