Abstract: An apparatus for modifying a keratinous surface having an applicator, a first modification agent; a sensor; and a CPU. The sensor reads the properties of a small portion of the keratinous surface, the readings are transmitted to the CPU, and the CPU compares the readings to a predetermined baseline value. The CPU then calculates the variance between the reading and the baseline value. When that variance exceeds a predetermined threshold the CPU sends a signal to the applicator which is activated to apply a portion of the first modification composition to the same portion of the keratinous surface that had the reading with a variance above the threshold value.

Abstract: A method of providing a skin benefit to the skin including the use of a skin care active and a portable moist heat delivery system comprising: a water vapor generating portion comprising a water vapor source and a heat source; and a water vapor-air regulating portion located at a skin-facing side of the water vapor generating portion, the water vapor-air regulating portion comprising a water vapor-air mixing layer, a water vapor-air distribution layer, a latent heat delivery surface, and optionally a skin contact layer, where the water vapor generating portion and the water vapor-air regulating portion are in fluid communication is disclosed.

Abstract: Single-use personal care products and kits comprising the same are disclosed. At least some of the single-use products include a pre-measured amount of a shaving composition.
