Hereafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on drawings. As described above, gold has various characteristic properties. Due to the possession of such characteristic properties, gold is used in a beauty salon and is combined in beauty cream, masks, or gels and so on. Furthermore, conventionally gold is served for food. The method for using the gold foil of the present invention (hereafter, simply referred to the present method) uses edible gold foils (pure gold, 95.09%, pure silver 4.9%).
FIG. 1 is an explanatory drawing 1 for describing gold foils used for a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory drawing 2 for describing gold foils used for a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 illustrates the state in which plural sheets of gold foils 10 are juxtaposed with intervening plural sheets of Japanese papers 20. FIG. 2 illustrates three sheets of the gold foils 10 taken from the state of FIG. 1. Now, the gold foil cut one-half beforehand may be used.
Normally, the gold foil 10, as shown in FIG. 1, is reserved in the state in which plural sheets are layered with intervening the Japanese paper 20. However, the state of the gold foil 10 before their usage is not limited. The gold foil 10 is an approximate square shape having a length of about 10.9 cm at one side and having a thickness of about 0.0001 mm. However, the length of one side is not limited and the shape is not limited to the square. In the present method, three sheets of the gold foils 10 (precisely two sheets of whole gold foils and two sheets of one-half cut gold foils) should be used. By using such gold foils, the face and neck of human being can be covered. In addition, the gold foils 10 are served for food.
Next, two sheets of the whole gold foils 10 are taken out to prepare. In addition, the gold foils cut into about one-half (one-half cut gold foil) are prepared. Here, it may be acceptable to make the one-half cut gold foil by cutting the whole gold foil 10. Conveniently, as shown in FIG. 2, the one-half cut gold foil 10 is referred to the gold foil 10A and the whole gold foil 10 is referred to the gold foil 10B. A combination of two sheets of the gold foils 10A and two sheets of the gold foils 10B is defined as one set. A manner for cutting one-half is not particularly limited.
Here, process steps of the present method will be described. FIG. 3 is the flowchart illustrating the process-flow of the present method according to the embodiment of the present invention. A human being practicing the present method is referred to a “practitioner” and a human being to whom the present invention is practiced is referred to a “model”.
The practitioner prepares skin lotion for applying to the face and neck of the model. The practitioner applies and stretches the prepared skin lotion on the face and neck. This skin lotion keeps moisture of model's skin and also supports close contacts of the gold foil 10A and the gold foil 10B.
Next, the practitioner prepares the beauty essence+cream 1 for applying on the face and neck of the model. The practitioner applies and stretches the prepared beauty essence+cream 1 on the face and neck of the model. By this beauty essence+cream, beauty effects are derived onto the model's skin. In the beauty essence+cream 1, skin-lighting ingredients are involved to provide skin-lightning effects.
The beauty essence+cream 1 will be explained. First, the beauty essence is formulated by including water, gold, silver, white gold, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, glycine, cellulose gum, skin-lighting ingredients, and so on. The skin-lightening ingredients include bis-glyceryl ascorbate as their main ingredient. Bis-glyceryl ascorbate is “moisturizing-type vitamin C” which is superior in a moisturizing property and the effects such as inhibition of melanin production and promotion of collagen production will be expected.
Next, the cream 1 is formulated by including water, gold, sodium hyaluronate, ceramide, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, vitamin A oil, glycerin, soybean-seed essence, ALOEVERA-leaf essence, tocopherol, skin-lighting ingredients, and so on. Here, the skin-lighting ingredients that are included in the beauty essence and is the same one may be used.
Next, the practitioner prepares cream 2 for applying the model's face and neck. The practitioner applies massage on the model's face and neck by using only prepared cream 2. By this cream 2, beauty effects, relaxation effects, enhancement effect of metabolism and/or blood circulation of the model's skin may be obtained. In addition, the cream 2 also includes the skin-lightening ingredients so as to obtain skin-lightening effect.
The cream 2 is formulated by including water, white gold, sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, caffeine, phenoxyethanol, skin-lightening ingredients, and so on. Here, the skin-lighting ingredients that are included in the beauty essence and is the same one may be used.
Next, the practitioner attaches one sheet of the gold foil 10B on the model's face (a cheek on one side). The gold foil 10B may be attached on the model's face by the hand of practitioner or tools (for example, bamboo chopsticks or Tengu Claw, and the like.). The cheek is defined as a region below eyes extending to a chin.
Next, the practitioner attaches the remained gold foils 10B on the model's face (another cheek). A manner for attaching the gold foils 10B is similar to that of Step 4.
Next, the practitioner attaches one sheet of the gold foil 10A on the model's face (forehead). A manner for attaching the gold foils 10A is similar to that of Step 4.
Next, the practitioner attaches the remained gold foils 10A on the model's face. A manner for attaching the gold foils 10A is similar to that of Step 4. Now, in the Steps 4-7, an attachment sequence of the gold foil 10 is explained, however, the attachment sequence is not limited to one that is shown here.
Next, the practitioner sprays lotion on the model's face and neck. This is because of the enhancement of close contacts of the gold foils 10A and gold foils 10B. The practitioner confirms visually or the sense of touch that the gold foils 10A and fold foils 10B are wet. In addition, the lotion also includes the skin-lightening ingredient such that the skin-lightening effect may be obtained.
The lotion is formulated by including water, BG, gold, silver, white gold, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed-silk essence, glycine, hydrolyzed-yeast essence, glycyrrhizic acid, skin-lightening ingredients, and so on. Here, the skin-lighting ingredients that are included in the beauty essence and is the same one may be used.
While this condition is preferably kept for one hour; however, even the time duration of 15 minutes-30 minutes may provide the effects. Here, in this duration, movement of the model is not restricted.
Next, the practitioner peels sequentially off the gold foils 10A and gold foils 10B attached to the model using the lotion+cream 1. The peeling sequence is not limited particularly. Now, the lotion used herein is the same one that used in the Step 8.
The practitioner admixes the peeled gold foils to the cream 1 described in the Step 10. In this time, the mixing is continued until the gold foils become a milled state (fine pieces). Thereafter, the practitioner add the lotion to the cream 1 that the gold foils are mixed and applies again on the model's face and neck.
With this, the present method becomes completed.
As described so far, the present method is the method of using the gold foils to cover the face and neck of the human being; the gold foil is edible; three sheets of the gold foils each having the same shape and size are used; one sheet of the three sheets is used as two one-half sheets; one sheet of them is attached on the forehead; the other sheet is attached on the neck; and the two whole sheets of three sheets are attached on both cheeks on the human being so as to cover the face and neck of human being.
