Skin is composed of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue. When cosmetics or drugs are applied to skin, epidermis of upper layer of skin recognizes cosmetics as toxins and absorbs cosmetics and drugs due to molecular size, biologic characteristics and biochemical phenomena. The amount absorbed by the skin is very small.

Therefore, an iontophoresis method has been developed to increase the absorption of cosmetics and drugs in the skin.

The iontophoresis method refers to a method in which a microcurrent is caused to flow through the skin to allow the effective ingredient contained in a drug or cosmetic having a charge to penetrate into the skin by an electric repulsive force.

As one of such iontophoresis methods, vitamin C, which is a skin whitening effect substance, can be absorbed into the skin to improve stamina or to absorb skin antioxidant substances into the skin to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles. It is known.

Currently, in the market, iontophoresis device that induces the formation of electric field around the skin by attaching a patch with fine current to the under-eye cheekbone area after applying cosmetic composition having excellent antioxidant and skin protection function to the whole face Are being sold.

However, in order for a consumer to implement such iontophoresis, it is necessary to purchase a separate iontophoresis device having expensive special rectifying device and programming device, and the cost There is a problem that activation is very slow because of too high price.

That is, the first conductive film is formed on the upper side of the face-shaped mask body portion, the third conductive film is formed on the lower side of the face-shaped mask body portion, and the second conductive film is formed on both the upper side and the lower side of the mask body portion .

Here, the upper side of the mask body portion indicates a nose portion having many oily regions, and the lower side of the mask body portion indicates a nose region having many dry regions.

The reason for discrimination is that the hydrogel layer, which is the nutrient material applied on the upper side of the mask body part which is the oily skin, and the hydrogel layer which is the nutrient material applied on the lower side of the mask body part which is relatively dry skin, It is for this reason.

a. Cosmetic aspect: Nutritional and functional drugs (Vitamine C, anti-inflammatory substances, wrinkle-reducing substances (collagen, etc.)

b. Therapeutic aspects: Nutrients and functional drugs (anti-inflammatory, atopic treatment drugs, analgesics, fungicides, etc.)

For reference, there is also an advantage that there is no digestive system disorder when the drug is injected through the skin as in the present invention.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the first external voltage and the third external voltage may be set to be higher than the second external voltage, although they may have the same or different voltage levels. Here, the second external voltage may be a ground level, but may be set to a voltage level lower than the levels of the first external voltage and the third external voltage.

In the present invention, for the sake of user's convenience, the Right, MIC (or ground signal line), and Left signal line, which are sound signals output from the earphone jack of a portable terminal (cell phone, tablet, etc.) .
