Review // Elle McPherson Rotating Dry Body Brush

Elle McPherson Body Brush* £26.66 link

On a whim  a few months ago I decided to buy a body brush noting all their benefits of exfoliating skin, increasing circulation and maybe even reduce my cellulite. Unfortunately it sat hanging in my bathroom unused so when I was sent the powered body brush that promised to be faster and more effective it was time to get body brushing.

Body brushing isn't the most exciting nor pampering of beauty tasks but it is one worth giving some attention to and Elle's rotating body brush certainly makes for a quicker experience.

The body brush comes in two parts which easily slot together, then you hit the power button and away the rotating bristles go. The design of the brush itself makes it easy to hold but I do find I'm a bit clumsy with my brushing in something similar to patting your head whilst rubbing your stomach.

The brush is firm and the rotation likewise and you can immediately see the blood flowing and rushing to the surface. I wouldn't recommend this for those with a sensitive skin as it could be quite painful I imagine as whilst it doesn't cause me any discomfort or irritation you're certainly aware of the friction on your skin.

I have found myself in a routine of giving my body a quick once over before popping into the bath or shower and only wish I could find someone to tackle my back as I think that would be fabulous after a hard day.

A major plus point is no need for batteries and you simply give the body brush a quick recharge when necessary so it's going to be with you for some time - maybe this is the perfect Christmas gift for that person you just don't know what to buy them?

Are you a body brushing fan, let me know in the comments.
