Product Notes:
These brushes from the Spa Relaxus have a rope on the end of their handles (some of which are jute wrapped), and are intended to be used on your body's skin, when it is dry (i.e., they should not be used when your skin is damp or wet, which could be damaging). The bristles are made of Sisal, a natural fibre made from Agave sisalana (a succulent plant which resembles the Aloe vera plant).
You can choose here between:
- the large model with a jute handle and rope, which is 12 inches long, altogether (not including the hanging loop), whose head is about 4 inches wide, and nearly 2 inches deep with twine wrapped on its handle;
- the regular Bikini Brush, which is perfect for exfoliating around the bikini line; its head is 4 inches long, up to 2-1/2 inches across, and about an inch deep, but its handle is only 2-3/4 inches long (making it 6-1/2 inches long altogether, not including the hanging rope); or,
- the 5 inch (12.7 cm) Travel Size model, which just has a stubby handle to make it easier to carry with you on your journeys, plus a good-sized hanging rope.
Related products: In addition to the three types above, there may also be two other types available in-store or by special order: 1) a Medium size (9"/23cm) Dry Sisal Bikini Brush, with a longer handle than the regular one (store code 23437); and, 2) the 26.5" (67cm) Long Sisal Back Brush, which has a rope on each end which you can grasp to slide it back and forth to scrub your back (store code 23438). It looks a bit like a double-length rolling pin, as shown here, but has a flexible wire core, rather than a rigid centre. Please come in or contact us for details on these items. A hand-knit Exfoliating Sisal Glove is also available now, as well.
Suggested Usage:
These products are best when used on skin (but not the facial skin - they're apt to be too rough for that) for three to five minutes a day, especially just before a shower or bath (but not when the skin is wet). Use a firm, circular motion.
For the large one in particular, they suggest starting with your feet, gently brushing the skin in an upward motion towards the heart. After brushing the entire body, shower or bathe as usual, and then follow with a moisturizer.
Warnings:
Not recommended for damaged or sensitive skin.
