A handheld, motorized apparatus is arranged and configured to impart motion to skin placed in contact therewith. The motorized apparatus includes a substantially planar attachment surface suitable for coupling a skin-contactable element thereto; a motor within said body; and means for transferring mechanical energy from the motor to the skin-contactable element in order to impart motion to the skin contactable surface. The apparatus has a maximum linear dimension of less than about 13 cm.

A method of making a handheld, electromechanical device useful in body-care includes the steps of: forming a one-piece housing having a single opening defined by a rim; selecting a unitary insert; inserting the insert through the opening; selecting a cover; removably applying the cover to close the opening; and attaching the insert to at least one of the housing and cover. The rim of the housing circumscribes a rim area and the housing has a projected area that is substantially larger than the rim area. The insert is selected from a plurality of different inserts. The cover is arranged and configured to cooperate with the selected insert, and each of the plurality of different covers is arranged and configured to cooperate with one or more of the plurality of different inserts. Methods of customizing these devices and kits for consumer use are also described.

A method of making a handheld, electromechanical device useful in mammalian body-care includes the steps of: a) forming a one-piece housing having a single opening defined by a rim; b) assembling a unitary insert; c) inserting the unitary insert through the single opening of the housing; d) removably applying a cover having an exterior surface to close the opening of the one-piece housing; and e) attaching the unitary insert to at least one of the one-piece housing and the removable cover. The rim of the one-piece housing circumscribes a rim area, and the one-piece housing has a projected area that is substantially larger than the rim area. The unitary insert is dimensioned to be insertable through the opening defined by the rim, and it has a frame having disposed thereon electromechanical elements interconnected in an electrical circuit. The cover closes off the opening of the one-piece housing.

A handheld misting device has a housing having a dispensing window is arranged and configured to contain a sonic generator, a power source coupled to the sonic generator, at least one reservoir containing a liquid, and a conduit extending from the at least one reservoir to a nozzle removably coupled to the sonic generator. The sonic generator includes a converter and an elongate horn having a proximal end coupled to the converter and a distal end, and the nozzle is removably coupled to the distal end of the horn. Thus, the device delivers the liquid through a delivery opening formed in the nozzle, and activating the sonic generator energizes the liquid in the nozzle to generate an aerosol plume that is delivered through the dispensing window.
