What is claimed is:
1. An implement for massaging the cutaneous covering comprising, at least one active face having a plurality of projecting pad means for contact with the skin, said pad means each being formed from a resiliently deformable flexible material, characterized by the fact that each pad means extends along a mean line and is comprised of portions which are alternately convex with respect to movement of the implement across the skin in one direction and concave with respect to movement of the implement in the opposite direction, each of said pad means presenting a resistance to bending when acting on its convex portion which is higher than the resistance to bending when acting on its concave portion, and wherein said pad means comprise spaced apart fingers disposed in substantially parallel rows, the fingers of the same row being substantially identical and oriented with their convex portions facing alternately in opposite direction.
