Back Brush with a Detachable Head

Your back is the one place you can't reach yourself. This brush solves that.

The handle is long, lotus wood, very slightly curved — so your arm doesn't tire and it reaches as far as your shoulder blades. The bristles are natural boar: rough-feeling at first, but after a week your skin gets used to them and you step out of the shower feeling as if someone had given you a massage.

The head comes off. Once it does you're left with a small brush with a cotton strap across the back — you slip your hand through and scrub legs or elbows more comfortably than with the long handle. There's a loop at the end to hang it up to dry.

How to use and care for it

Brush in circles, from your feet towards your heart. Don't use it on irritated, broken or very sensitive skin.

After use, rinse with clean water, shake the water off and leave it to dry somewhere well ventilated. Don't leave it standing in water, and keep it away from prolonged damp and direct sun.

The bristles are natural boar, so the brush is not vegan.
