Hydrea London Face Brush - Natural Bristle Dry Facial Cleansing Skin Exfoliator, Gentle Scrub & Exfoliating, Helps Lymphatic Flow – FSC® Certified Beechwood.The Forest Stewardship Council

Bought this as an eco-friendly alternative to electric/battery facial cleansing brushes. First thing to note IT'S A DRY FACIAL BRUSH! Some reviewers have talked about getting it wet, shedding of bristles, cracked wood etc, etc. DON'T WET IT! Use it dry as per instructions and diagram in the description. It exfoliates and stimulates the skin. It leaves your skin smooth and soft. Perfect at night before night cream. I love it and have easily incorporated it into my daily routine. No more harsh scrub or electric/battery usage so good on the purse and the environment. I love this brush and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Warning as you cannot return this product. Regretted buying the brush right away upon seeing it. Brush is soft in the face but does not look like it was properly made and some strands falling too. What a waste of money. Do not believe the 5 stars rating like I did. Buy at your own risk.

I really like this little brush. I’ve been very pale lately due to ill health and feel like I need to stimulate blood flow to my skin and this has made my skin a little less pasty I think. I use it as a dry brush the same way I dry brush my body. It’s not too rough and not too soft and feels really nice and therapeutic. I tried it wet with my face wash but it doesn’t really do anything much, the bristles just go soggy and limp when they’re wet and it does nothing. I really think it’s best use onset on dry skin after washing your face. Hope this helps!

I've been using this facial brush for 2 weeks now (every other day) and I do like it for the most part. After the first use, the bristles are not too hard and not too flimsy either and they dry fairly quickly after getting wet(I stand the brush up when drying it). A few bristles have fallen out but not a substantial amount . My biggest concern is that there is a crack in the wood at the top of the brush where the bristles are. As long as the crack doesn't get any bigger I think it should be okay. I'll have to wait and see if it can stand the test of time.

Very please with this brush. Partner commented on how soft my skin was after using. Comes with diagram on back of box showing you which way to brush each part of your face.

I’ve been using the facial brush for a month now. When I initially opened the package I was disappointed with the extreme shedding of bristles from the brush. Yes the shedding is irritating at the start however, now a month it has become less and less. The brush is very soft and soothing on the face and leaves my skin feeling lovely & smooth. Always make sure it is stored and dried correctly after to prevent water damage to the wood & bristles- my brush is still like new a month later.The real question is would I recommend this facial brush to friends and would I repurchased it again myself? Well a £3.53 add-on price point I believe it is worthwhile however, I will also be looking out other suitable replacements at the same price.EDIT: Initial review was on March 3rd for 3 stars. Now a month on the brush doesn’t shed at all, I’m upping my review to 4 stars based on this. I will be repurchasing it again.

I much prefer this little brush to the battery operated one I had. Apart from the fact it was a lot less expensive, I don't have to faff around looking for batteries. I bought it mainly to avoid using a facial scrub, and it works just as well if not better. Some reviewers have mentioned that the bristles are a little hard, but as long as you're not heavy handed it should be fine. They're soft enough so that it doesn't hurt, but firm enough to do the job. I only use it at night if I've been wearing make-up or if I'm doing a deep cleanse, as it stimulates the blood flow to my face and gives me a flush. I then put on a nice rich night creme. I also rub the bristles lightly on a flannel to dry them and to avoid the wooden handle from getting soggy.

Bristles are too soft and started shedding from the moment i unpacked the brush.
