Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein propose the controlled application of a heated spray cloud to a target surface. The spray cloud may be delivered in connection with applications of atomized (misted) sunless tanning sprays using a variety of spray systems. A formulation of the cosmetic or conditioning liquid may conduct and retain heat to allow a pleasantly warm spray to be received on the skin surface. The formula may come to temperature quickly and the heat may be retained even though a nozzle cooling effect inherently cools the spray as it leaves the nozzle.
Claims38
A method for applying a heated skin treatment spray to coat a target surface, comprising:
- heating a heat retaining emulsifying wax;
- emitting a heat retaining skin treatment solution comprising the heat retaining emulsifying wax;
- atomizing the heat retaining skin treatment solution using an atomizing nozzle associated with a sprayer to create a spray cloud;
- wherein heating the heat retaining emulsifying wax occurs simultaneous with atomizing the heat retaining skin treatment solution and overcomes a nozzle expansion cooling effect to allow the spray cloud to have a temperature of at least 15 degrees Fahrenheit above an ambient air temperature.
A system for applying a heated skin treatment spray to a target surface, comprising:
- a heat retaining skin treatment solution comprising a heat retaining emulsifying wax;
- a sprayer having an atomizing nozzle adapted to atomize the heat retaining skin treatment solution into a spray cloud;
- a heating unit coupled to the sprayer and adapted to heat air, the air heating the heat retaining emulsifying wax;
- and
- wherein heating the heat retaining emulsifying wax occurs simultaneously with atomizing the heat retaining skin treatment solution and overcomes a nozzle expansion cooling effect to allow the spray cloud to have a temperature of at least 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
A system for applying a heated skin treatment spray to a target surface, comprising:
- a heat retaining skin treatment solution comprising a heat retaining emulsifying wax;
- a sprayer having an atomizing nozzle including an air atomization port adapted to emit air to atomize the heat retaining skin treatment solution into a spray cloud;
- and
- a heating unit coupled to the sprayer and adapted to heat the air, the air heating the heat retaining emulsifying wax simultaneously with atomizing the heat retaining skin treatment solution and overcoming a nozzle expansion cooling effect to allow the spray cloud to have a temperature of at least 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
