Hydrea London Dry Body Brush – Premium Exfoliating Dry Skin Brush with Natural Bristle, Short Handle, Helps Improve Lymphatic Drainage, FSC® Certified Beechwood.

I purchased this Hydrea body brush in September 2012. It started to lose its bristles so I thought it was about time I replaced this “good old faithful” brush. The tape in the handle of the brush has not shown any signs of wear despite the brush being used every day for the past five years. I had no hesitation in purchasing another Hydrea brush. The bristles of the new brush are stiff but they do become softer over time. I find this brush really tones up the skin, particularly on the upper arms to avoid that horrible batwing appearance. I always use in combination with Nivea Firming Lotion and my skin has retained its supple, refined, appearance and leaves the skin feeling really clean. The trick is to make sure the brush is allowed to dry between uses. I always have mine hanging from the tape in the shower. Just to prove that this very low-priced brush is more than fit for the purpose I attach a photo showing the old and new brushes side by side. Not bad for a brush purchased five years ago!!

This was a gift to replace an Omorovicza body brush. The previous brush had lost or worn away the majority of it's bristles and the wood had become black in places. Delighted to say that this Hydrea brush has lived up to the expectations of other reviewers. It's not too long or short, a good grip, the bristles are firm without being scratchy and it has withstood now about 6 months of being in a wet bathroom without damage to it's appearance. Overall a decent quality brush at the right price.

I brought this for dry body brushing and its a great purchase, its got a lovely smooth long handle great for reaching your back and the bristles are not too firm, I haven't washed it yet however as I am not sure what to wash it with- some websites I have been on say the brush can smell and go moldy if washed incorrectly- so any pointers from people are greatly appreciated, thanks!

brilliant and effective but gentle brush. Helps to exfoliate dead skin and polish body. I find some exfoliating brushes to be too abrasive or not work at all - this manages to be soft but effective. Would recommend. It is smaller than I expected, around 30-40 cms max, but I am 5ft so this wasn't a problem. The head of the brush is large enough to cover a full area well. All in all, a success.

All good back brush. Nothing to complain about. Have bought one before. About three years ago. Good size and length of handle ideal

The brush worked well initially but once it dried after literal FIRST USE it cracked badly as seen on photos. Would NOT recommend buying! Don’t waste your money

The first one split after a couple of months, didn’t return as it was too much hassle. Second one, we are waiting to see. We had the same brand from several years ago and it lasted well, this experience was disappointing!

The handle is a bit shorter than expected and I would not recommend this to wash your back if that's what you have in mind. If you are flexible you can reach but it's not the same. The wood seems to also be a bit lower quality than I thought. The attached images show how the wood is after using only twice! I carefully clean it and dry it with the bristles facing down as stated in the instructions so it is not poor maintenance on my behalf. The brush itself isn't too harsh on the skin, it feels okay. However, it seems to leave behind a few bristles in every wash. This makes me wonder how long it will last and I will update this review in a couple of months if there any big changes. I guess it's okay for the price but you might be better off with a similar brush from Boots or a beauty parlour.

Io uso la spazzola a secco. Non ha nessun cattivo odore . Io ho una pelle molto sensibile... che si arrossa facilmente con il freddo , vento e sole... la spazzola è morbida e delicata. Non arrossa la pelle. La pelle è vellutata. Ottima.

I keep this near my computer so that when my hands are free I can just pick this thing up and start massaging my face and neck in circular motions. Like most people, I don't have a lot of extra time for beauty treatments, so I am more likely to follow through with something if I can find a way to incorporate it into my daily activities. Brush beside my mouse pad is as easy as it gets. The brush: Beautifully sculpted brush, with a light stain that enhances the swirly pattern of the wood. The bristles are firm enough for the face, but feel too soft on other areas of my body, such as my hands. Bristles are plentiful and packed in with a pleasing density. Use: I massage my face and neck in circular motions for as long and as often as I feel like doing on dry skin. Feel free to skip a day or two if you've overdone it. I am a bit older, so using a facial brush in a shower (such as with the Clarisonic) is too damaging for my facial skin over the long run. I find that dry brushing my face and then emplementing a separate after-shower moisturizing routine is best. Thus, my goal when using this brush throughout the day is to bring circulation to my skin and to [hopefully] initiate some extra collagen production. The results: My, my, my! I have been so busy over the past year that I started really neglecting my skin. So I had to make up for lost time and those nasty little wrinkles that made their way to my eyelid and forehead areas. Sneaky bastards. After using this brush for several days, my skin is glowing, more even-toned, and the minor wrinkles are less visible (maybe a plumping effect?). My eyelids are looking waaay better, with less of the crinkly/fragile look and more of a smooth appearance instead. This is not the first time I have used physical labor to manipulate skin tissue, so I was already confident that I would see some sort of results before I started. But having used dry loofah brushing before as well as the Clarisonic, I have to say that this is my favorite method by far. To enhance the effects of the facial dry brushing, I will start derma rolling again soon as well. My current after-shower moisturizer is a combo of shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. I am also experimenting with adding nutritional supplements, mostly softgel capsule contents such as Vitamins A, E and K, to my skin as well. I will update this post as relevant.

I go to the health club every day and carry my shower supplies back and forth between the club and home. I did a lot of searching for a bath brush with a handle just long enough to reach the hard-to-reach places on my back that would fit comfortably in my gym bag. This brush handle is the perfect length for me. I use it on my arms, legs, feet and back. The bristles are stiff so I don't use it on my face. I'd say the bristles are about half way between soft and stiff. I'm quite comfortable using it on my arms and legs however some people may find it to be too stiff. It's fantastic for feet. My feet have never been so well scrubbed. My one complaint is that about 2 weeks after I purchased it and began using it every day, some of the finish on the wood began to flake off. For that reason, I almost gave the brush 4 instead of 5 stars. However, I love this brush so much I really don't care that much about the finish starting to flake a little. In about 5 weeks of using this brush every day, the bristles seem as good as new. I just rinse the brush thoroughly, rigorously shake off the excess water, dry the bristles a little with a towel and let it air dry until I need it again the next day. Today is 11/20/16. In a few months, if there are signs of any problems, I'll update my review. I haven't received any free products or discounts so I've said exactly what I think of this product.

Très bon rapport qualité prix. La brosse de taille moyenne permet de se brosser le cou et la nuque facilement ainsi que le reste du corps. Le brossage est efficace mais reste relativement doux. La poignée glisse un tout petit peu quand elle est mouillée.

Very soft for around the eyes.
