Four Favorite Back Brushes

There is something holistically nurturing about using a back brush. Oh - you thought it was just a convenient way to get to a part of the body that's hard to reach?  Well, yes, there's that. It can be tough to get that all clean and shiny all on your own. But the surprising benefit is the way a back brush stimulates the lymphatic system, giving a good boost to your immune system and helping to keep you healthy. Here are my favorites:

Upper Canada Soap & Candle Wood Back Scrub Brush. A semi-firm oval brush can be detached to use separately. On the long handle is a rubber grip, helping to keep a tight hold. Has a small strap for hanging.

Earth Therapeutics Far Reaching Back Brush. Boars hair bristles and an ergonomically shaped slightly-curved handle that is 18-inches long. Reach all the way down to the small of the back without twisting.

Aquabella Long Handle Back Brush. Has medium-soft bristles. Made of pastel-colored nylon and therefore very cost effective. Works well with bath gels. Perfect for a quicky bath when time is short.

Eco Tools Bamboo Bristle Bath Brush. Made of earth-friendly, sustainable bamboo with soft synthetic bristles. Feel virtuous and clean all at the same time.
