Hydrea London Dry Brushing Body Brush with Cactus Bristle - Cellulite Remover, Vegan Best Dry Brush for Flawless Skin, Helps Improve Lymphatic Drainage - FSC® Certified Beechwood.

Just his other dry brushes have been a problem for me, this does irritate my skin. It does seem high-quality and I do not regret the purchase, but it does hurt. I asked my daughter to use it as well to see what she thought and she agreed. I will use it in the shower and be gentle but if you have sensitive skin, I do not recommend this.

I buy a new one of these every 6 months sometimes sooner. I usually buy the boar bristles but I tried the cactus bristles and I like this one even better. Both are great but the bristles on this brush seem much stiffer. I would say it is a perfect dry brush but I don't use it as a dry brush. I've always used these wet in the bath or shower with soap to get off dead skin. I would recommend not to use them everyday. Maybe once a week at most and apply a lot of moisturizer after using them so not to dry out your skin. Gosh I love them! The bristles are not soft. Good dry brushes like this are not meant to be soft. If you are looking for soft don't buy these and then complain about how hard and stiff they are. They are meant to be.

I’ve had this brush for 8 years now and it’s still in great condition. It’s lost few to no bristles and looks great. The bristles are quite firm so keep that in mind for whatever area you plan to use this brush on. I wouldn’t recommend going over very sensitive skin but it’s been great for exfoliating my legs.

This is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I’m not sure if you’re supposed to keep this for as long as I have, but I don’t have a reason to switch! It’s been nine years now, and the bristles have thinned slightly, but still affectively scrub the skin.I always use it on clean skin and never on my face so there was never an issue with dirt or oil absorption, so I cannot attest to that.The wooden strap are still very sturdy, and in general this piece looks like and feels like it can go for another 10 years.If you’re looking for a skin scrubber, look no more

I love this brand. They are looking lasting and stand up to harsh use in a shower. However he warned there are two styles to this brush and one is significantly stiffer than the other. I unfortunately bought the super stiff version the second time around. I don't know how to identify the different versions since the manufacturer hasn't made them differently with the exception of the bristle stiffness

l've been dry brushing for about 2 years now. Not necessarily because I believe it will remove cellulite or give me good chi or anything like that, but because it feels AMAZING and helps with my dry skin. I started with a Bass brush that I purchased from Whole Foods - the bristles are 1/2" long vegetable/cactus bristles (I think) and fairly soft and pliable. It worked well, or so I thought.On a whim, I decided I wanted to try a firmer bristle. After reading some reviews, I decided to purchase the Hydrea Firm/Extra Firm since I had a $25 gift card from Achievemint and the item was only $24.99. First, it arrived a solid 2 weeks ahead of schedule, all the way from the UK, in the middle of the Christmas rush - pretty awesome!The first thing I noticed? This thing is really well made! The bristles are about 1" long, packed densely and tight, and the strap is wide and attached solidly to the wood base. There's not a lot of play in the bristles, so I knew I'd be in for an experience.This brush hurts, but in that "hurts so good" kind of way. Like foam rolling or sports massages. The first time I used it, after 2+ years of using my Bass body brush, I could SEE dead skin flakes coming off of my legs (gross!). The sensation was prickly and almost hot, but good. I did long strokes on my legs and circular strokes on my torso. I will admit that the firm bristles were almost too painful for my torso, so I will either have to toughen up or maybe keep my Bass brush for the more delicate areas. My skin was pink, but almost itchy, like all the blood had rushed to the surface, or like how you'll itch like mad when you work out the first time after having not worked out in eons. After showering, my skin felt amazingly smooth and wonderful!All in all, I love this brush so far. I'd give 5 stars, but I had to dock 1 for this brush really not being good for more tender/delicate flesh.

I've been seeking this brush for . . . . . 30yrs. Lol. There is ONE boars bristle brush that sufficed all this time, but just one. They are never stiff enough to get a good skin scrub on. I WANT a good stiff brush to gitterdone. This is just gloriously stiff and the bristles are TIGHT. I can bear down or go lighter pressure depending on area I am scrubbing, and it stil feels like the job gets done. Can't believe how perfect CACTUS bristles are, coming from boars bristle. I'm a total convert, about face. . . . WARNING, if you are what other reviewers would call a "baby pants" or a "sissy" (lol!) please do NOT get this brush and then write a bad review because it hurts you. If your skin is at all "too sensitive", please just stick with boars bristle, or something less abrasive. For what this is for, it's pure heaven. Wonder how long it will last? Looks like it would last much longer than my other standard skin brush; very sturdy looking and feeling, well made wood that holds bristles. It's

Make sure to get brush with soft bristles. The one I have is pretty stiff and I wish I’d looked closer at item options.
