There are particularly many sebaceous glands on our backs, which can clog pores due to excessive production (as on the face) – and thus promote skin impurities. In other words, pimples and blackheads on the back are not a sign of poor hygiene, but a result of too much autologous fat that the body produces individually. For this reason, not everyone suffers from skin blemishes. If you are one of those affected, purchasing a back brush can be very useful. It should not only counteract pimples, but also promote blood circulation in the skin.

Excessive sebum production on the back can promote pimples, but they do not necessarily develop there. Rather, there are several components that promote skin impurities, such as:

As mentioned at the beginning, back brushes are supposed to help counteract skin problems – but there is no guarantee of this. Thanks to the long handle and its slightly curved shape, even tall people can easily reach all places on their back. The hard or soft bristles act like a kind of peeling that removes dead skin cells and thus improves the complexion. At the same time, the back brush should have a massaging effect on the skin by promoting blood circulation and thus strengthening the connective tissue (i.e. reducing cellulite). Especially if you don’t just use the brush on your back, but on your whole body. Below we present three different models:

1. Two sides back brush

Everyone is different: some prefer soft bristles, others prefer hard bristles. So it’s not surprising why some back brushes simply offer both – alternatively there are models like this one, which has soft bristles on one side and small massage nubs on the other to stimulate blood circulation.

2. Back brush sponge and sisal attachment

This back brush is not only dishwasher-safe, but has three different attachments for creaming, exfoliating and caring: while the sisal attachment is used to remove dead skin cells, the sponge attachment is used when the body is lathered and cleaned. The cream attachment (with massage balls) is suitable for all cream lotions.

3. Back brush with replaceable pads

This set actually contains everything you need for back care: an ergonomically shaped cream aid made of lotus wood, four skin-friendly and easy-to-wash cream pads, a peeling and massage sponge with a ribbed structure, a back brush plus a free sponge for lathering. On top of that, there is a transport bag and an e-book with care tips.
