It might be a little too harsh for people's faces, and body, but its worth trying.  |

| Actually, when you go to India and get foot massages, they use a nailbrush all the way up to your knee. it's a bit painful but really gets the circulation in your legs going |

I agree, the nail brush would be too harsh for the face.
I guess that the nail brush would be okay but it might take you awhile. How about an exfoliating towel/sheet? |

i use the nail brush for hands, feet, & ankles. i would think the bristles would be to stiff for the face. however, i have small hand-held brushes that look like nail brushes but have soft bristles... and are used for the face.
i would suggest starting with a super soft brush on the face first, and then moving up when you feel comfortable.
here is an eg from EDS

| I've been trying to find a good brush to use dry on my face. Sephora has a nylon one for $5. I THINK I read before that I should use one with natural fibers, is this correct? I found one online that said it was for the face but said it has boar bristles, which strikes me as a no-no. Does it matter what the bristles are made of or do they just have to be soft? |

Actually if you are referring to dry skin brushing then you can use a natural bristle - not synthetic - nail brush on your body, and even on your face if you can stand it.
I personally use a natural bristle nail brush to dry brush my face with because I find it easier to get around my eyes than the round face brushes. However I have dry brushed my face for a while now and only use it fairly gently. I also washed and dried it several times to soften the bristles first. It can be far too harsh for some people's skin and can lead to irritation and broken capillaries. As with anything you're using for exfoliation, it all depends on your skin and always start off lighter than you think your skin can handle. You can always go harder but you can't easily undo damage if you go too hard. |
