Do you want to start a dry brushing routine, but you want a device with more “massaging” power? Some people like using an electric body brush, because it helps with cleaning and exfoliation.
What Does an Electric Massage Body Brush Do?
In short, you can exfoliate, cleanse pores, boost blood circulation, massage your skin and stimulate your lymphatic system to release toxins. And, do it all at the same time with this time-saving silicone massaging body brush.
Below I explain why you may want to consider a battery-operated unit VS manual dry brushing. Plus, why you may prefer silicone to boar or cactus bristles on your skin.
Why is Silicone a Superior Material for Brushes?
1. Tough and Long Lasting
First of all, silicone is durable and soft while being safer that other plastic materials. Not to mention, it lasts longer than rubber.
2. It Resists Bacteria – and More
Second, silicone has antibacterial properties. In addition, it resists fungus, chemicals, heat and UV Rays. This feature not only helps your brush last longer, but it makes it easier to clean as well.
Note: When you use a brush daily to open pores and exfoliate skin, you definitely don’t want to use a dirty brush. And who wants to spend time cleaning their brushes, right?
3. It Works Gently While Being More Effective
Third, silicone works gently on the skin. Therefore, you can loosen and release impurities without actually removing healthy oils that help keep our skin young. (If you have dry or aging skin, you’ll appreciate this benefit).
The silicone body brush uses a “Kinetic Cleansing System”, which essentially causes less redness and irritation to the skin. It also prevents dryness and flaking that can occur from scrubbing, which can then lead to premature aging.
Instead, it works to stimulate and tone the skin while cleaning, leading to healthier skin.
Electric Body Brush has Wireless Functionality
For extra convenience and versatility, this unit does not need to be plugged in while you use it. Instead, it comes with a handy charging unit and a USB wire that plugs into a USB Port.
The charging base has a great design. For one, it has lots of small suction cups that secure it to a smooth countertop surface. And two, the base has a small drain hole in the center so that it doesn’t accumulate water.
(It’s those little conveniences that make gadgets to nice, right?)
Note: The bath brush will stop automatically after five minutes of use. Then, simply restart it. This is simply a safety function of the device.

By the way, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to check out the softer version of this brush, which comes in blue.
Other than the color difference and softness level, the features on the brushes are virtually identical.
Electric Body Brush VS Dry Brushing
Some people prefer the massaging vibration of the electric brush as compared to manually dry brushing. In addition, people with sensitive skin often like the silicone better than boar or cactus bristles.
On the other hand, dry brushes don’t require electric power or batteries.
Therefore, they are more portable for travelers or people who like to use them at the gym. Dry brushes also cost less.
You can use either product wet or dry. However, dry body brushes typically take longer to dry between sessions than the silicone.
