Presented is a device having a unitary body molded from synthetic resinous material and including a base member having a central mounting recess on its back side for receiving the mounting stud of a suction cup. On its front side the device is provided with a multiplicity of rows of spaced elastically resilient "prongs", or a multiplicity of "tuft" like projections each formed of many different thin filaments, or a multiplicity of "rod" like projections the distal ends of which are semi-spherical or "rounded" and useful for applying deep massaging pressure to the skin for stimulation thereof. Integrally formed on the base member are mounting flanges having integral mounting lugs and mounting apertures for detachably interconnecting one such device to a similarly constructed adjacent device to selectively form a specifically arranged configuration or array embodying a multitude of the devices.

I claim: 1. A modular system for stimulation, massaging, exfoliation and scrubbing of human skin comprising: a) a unitary body including a base member having a plate portion including a top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral flange projecting below said bottom surface; integral mounting flanges on said peripheral flange and projecting therefrom at 90�� intervals; means on said integral mounting flanges for detachably interconnecting an additional unitary body to each of said integral mounting flanges; b) a multiplicity of spaced elongated flexible members projecting from said top surface of the plate portion in a direction opposite to the projection of said peripheral flange whereby the distal ends of said elongated flexible members define a surface useful for stimulating, massaging, exfoliating and scrubbing skin surfaces of a human body; and c) wherein said base member is symmetrical about a central axis and means are provided detachably secured on said base member adjacent said bottom surface for detachably securing said unitary body to a supporting surface. 2. The modular system according to claim 1, wherein said unitary body is formed from resiliently elastic synthetic resinous material and the distal ends of said elongated flexible members define an undulated plane having peaks and valleys useful for stimulating, massaging, exfoliating and scrubbing irregular surfaces of a human body. 3. The modular system according to claim 1, wherein said multiplicity of elongated flexible members are of different lengths and are integral with the plate portion from which they project. 4. The modular system according to claim 1, wherein said means for detachably interconnecting an additional unitary body to each of said integral mounting flanges comprises mounting lugs projecting perpendicularly from two adjacent mounting flanges, and wherein two adjacent ones of said mounting flanges are each provided with a mounting aperture, the configuration of said mounting lugs and said mounting apertures enabling detachable interconnection of the mounting lug of one unitary body with a mounting aperture of another adjacent unitary body. 5. The modular system according to claim 4, wherein said one unitary body is detachably interconnected in combination with a multiplicity of additional identical unitary bodies detachably connected to form an array thereof. 6. The modular system according to claim 5, wherein said multiplicity of additional identical unitary bodies are detachably interconnected to selected mounting flanges on said one unitary body and selectively detachably interconnected to selected mounting flanges on said additional identical unitary bodies to control the direction in which the array extends. 7. The modular system according to claim 3, wherein said spaced elongated flexible members of different lengths vary in length from about 10 mm to about 18 mm and taper from a selected first dimension at their proximate ends integral with said plate portion to a second lesser dimension at their distal ends. 8. The modular systems according to claim 1, wherein said elongated resiliently flexible members projecting from said top surface of said plate portion are bundles of multiple filaments gathered to form "tufts" and one end of each said "tufts is secured to said plate portion. 9. The modular system according to claim 1, wherein said elongated resiliently flexible members projecting from said top surface of said plate portion are rods and one end of each said rod is secured to said plate portion. 10. The modular system according to claim 1, wherein said elongated flexible members are elastically flexible and normally extend from the top surface of said plate portion parallel to adjacent elongated flexible members. 11. A modular system for stimulation, massaging, exfoliation and scrubbing of human skin comprising: a) a unitary body including a base member having a plate portion including a top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral flange projecting below said bottom surface, said peripheral flange defining a recess adjacent the bottom surface of said plate portion, and reinforcement ribs integrally formed on, and extending from the bottom surface of said plate portion and integrally connected with said peripheral flange; b) a multiplicity of spaced elongated flexible members projecting from said top surface of the plate portion in a direction opposite to the projection of said peripheral flange whereby the distal ends of said elongated flexible members define a surface useful for stimulating, massaging, exfoliating and scrubbing skin surfaces of a human body; and c) wherein said base member is symmetrical about a central axis and means are provided detachably secured on said base member adjacent said bottom surface for detachably securing said unitary body to a supporting surface. 12.
