Patch and method of cosmetic treatment of the skin by means of this patch, the latter consisting of a polymer matrix, said matrix being self-adhesive on dry skin, and containing at least one cosmetically active compound, and at least one water-absorbing compound, said method consisting in selectively applying the patch: a) in cleansing mode on dry skin, the detachment of the patch after application allowing, under the mechanical action resulting from the adhesion of the patch, to rid the skin of the impurities it contains, or b ) in wet treatment mode, the water-absorbent compound (s) making it possible, on the one hand, to maintain adhesion of the matrix to the skin, which adhesion is reduced compared to adhesion of the matrix to dry skin , and on the other hand, by absorbing water, to resolubilize all or part of the cosmetically active compounds contained in the matrix. |
