Abstract

A cosmetic kit is disclosed having a container and a shaving cap. The container comprises interior chamber containing a solidified gel of a micellar solution and a dispensing opening that exposes an outer surface of the solidified gel. The exposed surface of the solidified gel to a surface, like skin, and can be cleaned with the shaving cap, which removes at least a portion of the exposed surface of the solidified gel. The shaving cap comprises a planer surface and one or more openings or slits through the planar surface having shaving edges that shave the exposed surface of the solidified gel when applied against the exposed surface, for example, by rotating the shaving cap relative to the container with sufficient force to overcome shearing resistance of the solidified gel. The cosmetic kit is particularly useful for hygienically cleansing the skin.
