Bath brush in oak and horsehair with handle. Horsehair is an excellent material in bathing brushes because it is soft and pliable while it is sturdy and durable and has a certain elasticity. Along with a good soap, it gives a soft and comfortable lather for perfect cleaning. Allow the brush to dry hanging or standing on the horsehair so that the water is transported away from the wood that is more sensitive to moisture.
When using as a dry brush start at your feet and brush upward towards the heart. Use the same idea when on your arms, begin with your hands and work upward. Use firm, small circular strokes. Dry brushing is an age-old process of brushing the skin with a natural brush. Benefits to dry brushing include exfoliation, lymphatic support, smaller pores, reduced cellulite as well as a boost of energy!

BRUSH CARE: With a little simple care, your brush will age beautifully and last for years. Clean your brush with soap and warm water, and let it dry bristles down. We recommend oiling the wood on occasion with food-grade oil. Allow the oil to absorb before your next use.

Handmade by fair trade artisans. The artists are paid decent wages for their work. Due to consecutive droughts over the years, cattle breeders no longer buy bells on a regular basis and the demand for traditional bell making was on the verge of dying. With the help of fair trade and mission-based organizations, at least 1,000 village artisans in the desert Kutch region are repositioning this art form and earning sustainable livelihoods by selling the bells internationally.
