An apparatus and method for providing cosmetic treatment to skin comprise one material chemically active in a solid form preferably in a tablet form and a second material which is chemically reactive with the first material so that effervescence is produced during the reaction. The chemically active materials may be activated by a user for providing cosmetic treatment to skin. The activation releases effervescence which urges granules of the reacting materials onto the skin. The size of the granules lowers during the reaction thus providing continuously refining peeling to the skin.

1. An apparatus for cosmetically treating skin tissue comprising: a tablet, the tablet comprising at least a first active material and at least a second active material, one of the active materials including a base material and the other of the active materials including an acid material, said first and said second active materials being in solid form, the tablet having two opposed faces, an outer, exposed face and an inner-facing face, the faces having formed therethrough one or more apertures;a handpiece enclosing a volume to contain an activating material, said activating material being in a non-solid form;the handpiece having an opening to allow access to the volume;the tablet being connectable at the opening of the handpiece at the inner-facing face and around the periphery of the outer face of the tablet;the activating material being flowable with and through the tablet through the opening and through the one or more through apertures formed in the tablet to pass the activating material through the one or more apertures and to contact the outer, exposed face of the tablet and to produce a chemical reaction;wherein the chemical reaction creates an effervescent effect within the tablet in the capsule,wherein at least some of the effervescent effect takes place on the outer, exposed face of said tablet, and,wherein the first active material contains granules for engaging and treating the skin tissue. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the size of the granules decreases during the chemical reaction. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the effervescent effect comprises a release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas during the chemical reaction. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the handpiece includes a portion which is squeezable and wherein the act of squeezing the handpiece causes the activating material to leave the handpiece and pass through the one or more through apertures into the tablet. 5. A method comprising: providing the apparatus for cosmetically treating the skin tissue of claim 1;passing activating material through the one or more through apertures to cause the tablet to effervesce on the exposed face of the tablet;engaging and rubbing the exposed face of the tablet against the skin tissue, including engaging the skin tissue with the granules, thereby cosmetically treating the skin tissue. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the activating material is a liquid and the liquid is one or more of a group comprising water and a gel. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the size of the granules decreases during the chemical reaction. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the effervescent effect comprises a release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas during the chemical reaction. 9. The method of claim 5, wherein the granules are pushed towards the skin tissue by the effervescent effect.
