Bass Bamboo Body Brush

Soft skin can now be yours by adding an enjoyable and guiltless item to your shower.  No, you do not have to buy those overpriced plutonium glowing plastic balls of netting that fall apart within months.  No, you don't have to buy expensive exfoliating scrub for your face and body. The first is dyed and biodegrades, like, never.  The second comes in a plastic dispenser you might be able to recycle, at the expense of making it, shipping it, marketing it, and probably testing it on animals before all that. You can get plastic back scrubbing brushes from Walmart as I have done (after trying and becoming annoyed with the first two) but after their Made in China grandeur renders them broken and useless, you begin to look elsewhere. Moisturizing body creams are all well and good, but they don't exfoliate. Loofah sponges are eco-friendly but disintegrate faster than the plastic colored ones, leaving little oatmeal-like pellets all over the shower.

I happened on it by chance, but it is one of those encounters I must document. It is a bamboo body brush by Bass. These images are horrible but the brush is good. Perhaps I will even take pictures of mine, it is really a beaut.

Ok so it was something like $18 but it is LONG, you can wash your whole back with it without twisting about. Made entirely of bamboo it is eco friendly (no boars were harmed in the making) and yes it's gorgeous.  Mine has contrasting shades of light and darker bamboo (stained perhaps? care to think not) and it of course has a nice loop of rope at the end you can hang from whatever hook or protrusion you have.

As of this posting, the above links worked.

If you're looking for a good quality brush this is it.  Plush, easy to handle, and with daily use you'll have smooth soft hands, feet and elbows.

Say goodbye to those poufs!  [And good riddance.]
