Lip exfoliator device

Abstract

A lip exfoliator device is disclosed, which exfoliates dead skin off the lips. The lip exfoliator device comprises a body component that is configured in a rounded cylindrical shape with a closed first end and an open second end. The body component is sized and shaped to fit over a user's finger, like a finger glove. Typically, the body component is manufactured of a thin, rubber material. The interior side of the body component comprises a fine grit, exfoliant material. The fine, gritted surface will essentially exfoliate and stimulate blood flow to the lips. To use the device, the user will rub the fine, gritted surface on their lips, utilizing the exfoliant material to remove the dead skin.

         8 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 7 , wherein the active surface is located on the body component, such that when the body component is inserted over a user's finger, the active surface is positioned over a user's finger pad for use. 
     
     
         9 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 8 , wherein the active surface comprises exfoliant material for removing dead skin and other debris from the user's lips by rubbing the active surface against the user's lips. 
     
     
         10 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 9 , wherein the exfoliant materials comprise at least one of a dry abrasive, a natural luffa, a hemp fiber, a pumice, a stone, a mineral, a diamond particle, a ground food particle, a synthetic luffa, a PTFE and a Teflon. 
     
     
         11 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 10  further comprising a plurality of indicia. 
     
     
         12 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 11 , wherein the lip exfoliator device is disposable. 
     
     
         13 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 11 , wherein the lip exfoliator device is reusable. 
     
     
         14 . A lip exfoliator device that provides a user with a means for exfoliating lips, the lip exfoliator device comprising:
 a body component configured in a rounded cylindrical shape with a closed first end and an open second end; and   an active surface which is positioned on an interior side of the body component;   wherein the open second end allows access to a hollow cavity of the body component;   wherein the hollow cavity fits over a user's finger or over an end of a lip balm;   wherein the active surface is located on the body component, such that when the body component is inserted over a user's finger, the active surface is positioned over a user's finger pad for use;   wherein the active surface comprises exfoliant material for removing dead skin and other debris from the user's lips by rubbing the active surface against the user's lips;   wherein the lip exfoliator device is reusable; and   wherein the exfoliant materials include, but are not limited to, dry abrasives: natural luffa, hemp fibers, pumice, stone, minerals, diamond particles, ground food particles, synthetic luffa, PTFE, Teflon or other synthetic materials suitable for application to the user's lips.   
     
     
         15 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 14 , wherein multiple lip exfoliator devices can be packed together in a kit, then disposed of after use. 
     
     
         16 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 14 , wherein the lip exfoliator device can be sprayed with isopropyl alcohol to sanitize the lip exfoliator device for re-use. 
     
     
         17 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 14  further comprising a case for storing the lip exfoliator device when not in use. 
     
     
         18 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 14 , wherein the body component is manufactured from a material that is water resistant or waterproof, or comprises a coating that is water resistant or waterproof. 
     
     
         19 . The lip exfoliator device of  claim 14 , wherein the body component is made of an antibacterial or antimicrobial material or comprises a coating that is antibacterial or antimicrobial. 
     
     
         20 . A method of exfoliating lips, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a lip exfoliator device comprising a body component with an exfoliant material on an interior side;   inserting the body component onto a user's finger with the exfoliant material facing outward;   contacting a user's lips with the exfoliant material;   rubbing the exfoliant material back and forth over a user's lips to exfoliate; and   sanitizing the exfoliant material with isopropyl alcohol to re-use the device.
