I bought one of these body brushes the other day and I am VERY impressed with my purchase. The bristles are soft and gentle on the skin. In the past I found that body brushes were sometimes too hard on the skin and some of them actually left visible red scratches. I use the brush on my entire body and the design of the brush does make it easy to use all over. Afterward my skin feel smooth and refreshed with no harsh scratches. I paid R59 for my brush on www.takealot.com
