Heating system for a cosmetic mask

A kit comprising:

• A base, multiple heating packettes reposed in the base, and a power cable, wherein:
• each heating packette comprises:
• top and bottom panels having:
• perimeter portions that are bonded together to form a reservoir between the two panels, the reservoir measuring 25 mm-150 mm by 25 mm-150 mm;
• a fabric that is impregnated with a cosmetic or personal care preparation disposed in the reservoir;
• and
• at least one heating element that is in physical contact with at least one of the panels, wherein the heating element:
• is a continuous resistive electric path that has a positive terminal and a negative terminal located near the perimeter portion of that panel on which the heating element is located;
• has a resistance between 1Ω and 15Ω, and is able to convert electrical energy into heat at a rate of 5 watts to 10 watts;
• and
• comprises a positive thermal coefficient ink that is printed onto the exterior surface of the top or bottom panel;
• and
• the power cable has two metal clips at one end, and a USB-type connector at the other end for connecting a power source to the positive and negative terminals of one of the heating packettes, wherein the voltage of the power source is in the range of 1.5 V to 12 V;
• wherein the heating packette is configured with an integrated circuit that has programmed instructions, and the USB-type power cable is able to transfer data to and from the packette.
