I hadn't heard of dry brushing before, but am always interested in things that will improve my skin and circulation. I don't like hard bristles or such rough surfaces that they hurt. This isn't painful at all - quite the opposite! I've been working on getting rid of keratosis pilaris (those little white or red bumps some people get on the back of their upper arms, thighs, or backside, made up of thick protein plugs that block hair follicles) - I've gotten rid of the nasty icks on the back of my upper arms and now am focused on eradicating it on my legs. Keratosis pilaris is worsened by dry skin, but lotions and moisturizers don't seem to do much to combat it for me. I need something that will get into the follicles and cause a ruckus. Enter this dry brush.
My skin is immediately softer and just FEELS healthier after dry brushing. (Sounds dumb, but true!) I don't have to press real hard with this brush - the bristles feel like they are stiff enough to make a visual difference, but aren't painful or scratchy. While dry brushing prior to jumping in the shower, I can almost picture all the little poor clogging nasties being forced from the comfy little homes they made on my skin and in my folliclces. I have even noticed that I can get an extra half day (or so) from shaving when I dry brush prior to lathering up my legs. This dry brush is the only one I've ever tried, but I am not having as many ingrown hairs from shaving, either. I doubt it's coincidence. I sincerely think my body wash works better after dry brushing - I feel like the body wash ingredients actually have time to absorb into my skin and actually work. It's safe to say that this is one of the few skin care items one would have to PRY from my cold, dead hands...and there would be enormous risk that I would haunt that person eternally. ;)
I've used a body pouf with various body washes for years. This is a much different experience - this brush removes so much more dead skin and impurities than a pouf could ever touch. The wood on the handle and the backside of the bristles is very smooth and beautiful - I've never gotten a splinter, or felt like I had to be careful to avoid splinters. This fits nicely in my hand, but my only tiny complaint is that I wish the band going across the back was made of stretchier elastic and was applied much tighter. This portion of the brush slides easily onto the handle and seems to be pretty secure. I don't know how it will hold up long term, but for the three weeks I've been using this item, it still fits well into the slot.
The bristles are a natural grass - I think boar bristles would be too stiff and produce a drastically different experience. The "give" of these bristles is what makes this brush such a true pleasure to use. You also receive a hook and a bag for brush storage - the end of the handle has a nice cotton loop from which to hang the brush. Cleaning this brush is very easy. I have seen similar brushes at various stores for more than twice the price of this one - it's a great value here and I would run to grab one. The quality is outstanding, the bristles feel so good, the whole process only takes a couple of minutes (and you enjoy results for much, much longer than a few minutes!), the price is extremely fair, the results are immediate and noticeable, the exfoliation level is amazing, and the body brush is versatile. Why are you still reading this review? Are you seriously still considering whether you should get one??
I'm not sure how someone with very sensitive skin would fare with this - adjusting the touch pressure (brisk vs gentle) may render this helpful for any type of skin. The benefits I have seen (and felt) on my own skin prompts me to recommend this to anyone, but I have a friend who has such sensitive skin that it would probably jump off her body if it ever even saw this product in her house. I'm sure that any type of skin just a little tougher than that would love this. It only takes a minute or two to totally change the condition of your skin - I can't wait to see how this changes my normally dry, dull, Denver-winter skin.

I'm kind of addicted??
I absolutely LOVE this brush. I haven't had it long enough to see if it reduces stretch marks and cellulite, but I can say it feels amazing. I thought it would be too rough on my skin but you can actually press pretty hard without it being uncomfortable. The handle is definitely useful in reaching the backside (a good long back scratch does the body good in my opinion) and I can already tell a difference in my skin's texture. And I don't know why but doing it before a shower makes it feel like the soap works better? This brush is great, have found zero downsides.
