NEW IN COSMETICS: SPRAY-ON SKIN

Here’s what’s new in cosmetics: spray-on skin. Japanese cosmetics company Kao Corporation has developed a custom synthetic spray-on skin to cover unwanted blemishes, moles or other marks on the natural epidermis. Remember when you used to spread Elmer’s glue on your hand, let it dry, and peeled it off? It’s like that. The artificial product, called “est,” is composed of tiny, liquid fibers. When sprayed, the substance adheres to human skin, transforming into an extremely thin, skin-like material. It has a similar elasticity to skin, and it’s porous. Water vapor and air can pass through this second skin to moisten the real skin beneath. At the end of the day, you just peel it off. Est is set to hit the market exclusively in Japan beginning Dec 4 and will sell for roughly $532 as a diffuser and “potion” combination. Diffuser refills are priced at $73. There will also be a lotion version, and everything will become available online in January.
* Or – and stick with me here – OR… you could use a $6 bottle of Cover Girl foundation. But I’m sure the $500 stuff is good, too.
* A smooth, blemish-free covering for your face. You can have a mannequin-head!
* When you go on dates, you can cover up that sad tattoo of the person’s name who dumped you.
* This would be great for covering up that giant mole on your nose, (morning show partner).
* And who doesn’t like inhaling tiny, liquid fibers as you’re applying the product?
