Facial cosmetics moisturise the skin and remove sebum and impurities to keep the skin healthy. Face masks are available on the market in various forms, e.g. gel, emulsion, sheet, and paste. The textile sheet mask for facial care is used by all women, regardless of age. They have been on the market for some time and are very popular with women as they are known to moisturise, prevent acne and hydrate the skin.
A facial skin care with a textile sheet mask on which a care serum is applied should be comfortable and, in this respect, allow breathing through the nose or mouth while wearing the mask and prevent eye irritation from the serum. At the same time, it must be easy to apply to the face and conform to the contours of the face so that the serum can be transferred efficiently from the mask to the skin. To fulfil these beautification requirements, the pattern design of the textile sheet mask is important, with openings for the eyes, nose and lips and functional slits that can be easily adapted to the face. Different manufacturers offer different designs of sheet masks that are adapted to the different anthropometric data of the face.
As the facial morphology of different ethnic groups differs, a new design of a textile sheet mask pattern was developed for Slovenian women. Based on the 3D scans of the 61 women, an average 3D face model of the woman was created using a Screened Poisson surface reconstruction. The developed textile sheet masks for facial care enable the correct application of the mask. It moulds to the contours of the face to effectively transfer the serum to the skin and allows the user to see or breathe based on the correct size and position of the openings for the eyes, nose and mouth of the female population studied.
The shape of the textile face sheet mask is reminiscent of a butterfly. In various cultures, butterflies are symbols of transformation, hope and rebirth and evoke the qualities of freedom, beauty and love, with which users can also harmonise their facial care.
