In some examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may be mounted on the docking base 123 in a way of shielding the mounting part 1232 (see Figs. 3 and 4).

[0040] In some examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may be provided in such a manner as to protrude forwards with respect to the front surface of the function portion 120 or the front surface of the docking base 123 (see Figs. 3 and 4). In other embodiments, the function head 122 may be configured to lie flat with the front surface of the function portion 120 or the front surface of the docking base 123.

[0041] In some examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may have a skin cleansing head for cleansing the skin and a skin rejuvenating head for rejuvenating the skin.

[0042] In some examlpary embodiments, the skin cleansing head may be a silicone sheet. In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the skin cleansing head serves as the function head 122, the user may apply a skin cleaning liquid such as facial cleanser to the skin to be treated, and then contact the skin cleansing head with the skin to clean the skin.

[0043] In some examplary embodiments, the skin rejuvenating head may react in a gel to generate carbon dioxide. In some examplary embodiments, the skin rejuvenating head is made of materials including sodium bicarbonate, water, centella asiatica extract, magnesium stearate, glycerol, butylene glycol, rhodiola root extract, ginseng extract, grape seed extract, peony root extract, witch hazel extract, citric acid, acrylates, triethanolamine, xanthan gum, hydroxyethyl cellulose, p-hydroxyacetophenone, methyl paraben, phenoxyethanol, and CI16255 carmine pigment. In this case, the skin rejuvenating head can be made of the above materials.

[0044] In some examplary embodiments, the gel may include glycerol, water, escitalaria europaea extract, bilberry leaf extract, calendula extract, rhodiola root extract, grape seed extract, carbomer, and triethanolamine. In this case, the gel can react with the skin rejuvenating head to generate carbon dioxide without adversely affecting the skin of the user or the like. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto, and in some examplary embodiments, the skin rejuvenating head and the gel may be made of other materials capable of reacting to generate carbon dioxide without adversely affecting the skin.

[0045] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the skin rejuvenating head serves as the function head 122, the user may apply the gel to the skin to be treated, and then contact the skin rejuvenating head with the skin to treat the skin, and carbon dioxide may be generated on the skin surface. In this case, on the one hand, the generated carbon dioxide will lead to the Bohr effect which promotes the entry of oxygen in the capillaries into the tissue, the oxygen content in the cells will increase, the capillaries will expand, more oxygen will be supplied, and the metabolism of the cells will be promoted; on the other hand, the generated carbon dioxide can generate carbonic acid on the skin surface after meeting water, so that the cutin may be effectively removed. In this way, the skin can be effectively cared.

[0046] In some examplary embodiments, the function head 122 may be removably mounted in a snap-fit or adhesive manner, or the like. In this case, the user can select an appropriate function head 122 to use according to the actual situation.

[0047] In some examplary embodiments, as described above, the main body housing 10 may also include a hand-held portion 110 for use as a handle. In some examplary embodiments, the hand-held portion 110 may be elongated. In some examplary embodiments, the main body housing 10 other than the function portion 120 may be all regarded as the hand-held portion 110. In some examplary embodiments, the hand-held portion 110 may be formed as a hollow shell.

[0048] Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the structure of the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0049] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may further include a vibration module 111 (see Fig. 5). In some examples, the vibration module 111 may be disposed within the hollow shell of the main body housing 10. In some examplary embodiments, the vibration module 111 may be disposed within the main body housing 10 proximate to the hand-held portion 110. In this way, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 can be better vibrated. In other embodiments, the vibration module 111 may be disposed in the main body housing 10 proximate to the function part 120. In some examplary embodiments, the vibration module 111 may include a motor and an eccentric wheel (not shown). In some examplary embodiments, the motor may be a miniature direct current (DC) motor. The eccentric wheel can be disposed on an output shaft of the miniature DC motor. In some examplary embodiments, the vibration module 111 may be in contact with the main body housing 10. In some examplary embodiments, the main body housing 10 may vibrate when the vibration module 111 is in an operating state (i.e., when in vibration), and the function head 122 may be vibrated along with the main body housing 10. In this case, the vibration module 111 may vibrate the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 with the motor and the eccentric wheel.

[0050] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 further includes a control module 112 (see Fig. 5) for controlling the vibration module 111. In some examplary embodiments, the control module 112 may control the vibration state of the vibration module 111. Herein, the vibration state may include a vibrating phase and a static phase. That is, the control module 112 may control whether to operate the vibration module 111 or not. In some examplary embodiments, the control module 112 may be an adjusting button disposed on the main body housing 10 (see Fig. 2). Specifically, the control module 112 may be a mechanical switch having mechanical contacts. Alternatively, the control module 112 may be an electronic switch that detects finger contact and switches electronically. For example, a window may be provided on the front surface of the front shell 10a for mounting the control module 112. The control module 112 may be a button switch. The control module 112 may be mounted at the window in such a manner that the control module 112 can be pressed back and forth. In this case, it is possible to adjust whether to operate the vibration module 111 or not by pressing the control module 112, for example, to control whether to connect the power module 113 with the vibration module 111 or not by pressing the control module 112. In some examplary embodiments, before the vibration module 111 starts operating, i.e., starting from the static phase, the user may switch the vibration module 111 to an operating mode, i.e., to the vibrating phase, by pressing the adjusting button. After the vibration module 111 starts to operate, the user may also turn off the vibration module 111 by pressing the adjusting button.

[0051] In other examplary embodiments, the control module 112 may also be used to control the vibration frequency of the vibration module 111. In this case, the control module 112 may be an adjusting button provided on the main body housing 10 and a control unit provided inside the body shell 10. In some examplary embodiments, the control unit may be caused to control and adjust the vibration frequency of the vibration module 111 by adjusting the adjusting button. For example, before the vibration module 111 starts operating, i.e., starting from the static phase, the user may switch the vibration module 111 to the operating mode, i.e., to the vibrating phase, by long pressing the adjusting button. In some examplary embodiments, a plurality of different levels may be set for the operating mode. Different levels may correspond to different vibration frequencies at which vibration module 111 vibrates. For example, the plurality of different levels may include a high level, a medium level, and a low level, respectively. Among them, the high level means that the vibration module 111 vibrates at a high vibration frequency. The high level corresponds to a relatively higher vibration frequency at which the vibration module 111 vibrates, followed by the medium level, and the low level. In some examplary embodiments, after the vibration module 111 starts operating, the user may cause the vibration module 111 to vibrate at different vibration frequencies by briefly pressing the adjusting button. In some examplary embodiments, after the vibration module 111 starts operating, the user may also turn off the vibration module 111 by long pressing the adjusting button.

[0052] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 further includes a power module 113 for supply power. In some examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be a battery or other power supply devices. In some examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be disposed within the main body housing 10.

[0053] In some examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be a rechargeable power supply. For example, the power module 113 may be a rechargeable lithium battery. In some examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be charged wirelessly. For example, a receiving coil connected to the power supply module 113 may be provided in the main body housing 10. And the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 further has a base 20 (described in more detail below) including a transmitting coil. The transmitting coil and the receiving coil may charge the power supply module 113 wirelessly through magnetic energy coupling. In this way, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 can be charged wirelessly.

[0054] In other examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be charged in a wired manner. For example, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may also have a charging port for connecting an external power source and charging the power module 113.

[0055] In other examplary embodiments, the power supply module 113 may be a power interface connected with an external power source which is enabled to power the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1. In this way, the external power source is enabled to directly power the portable rejuvenated skin care apparatus 1.

[0056] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may also have a determination module 114 for controlling whether to perform charging or not.
