Consider this your gateway dry brush: The natural bristles are on the softer end of the spectrum, so it's nonirritating for most skin types (this is ideal as you get used to the technique and sensation). The classic oval shape comes with a strap on the back, too, so you can slip your hand in for easy brushwork. The brand also recommends using it in the shower on wet skin for an even gentler sensation.

Body Brush, Dr. Barbara Sturm ($35)

This brand marries Eastern traditions with update New York small batch practice—the result? A delightful, natural brand that is highly effective. Their dry brush is made with sisal bristles and beach wood. It's so easy to get the hang of, you'll find yourself using it daily in no time.

Dry Brush, Savor Beauty ($25)

This small body brush fits right in the palm of your hand. The bristles are made from sustainably sourced agave. (The agave bristles offer a vegan, natural option that aren't synthetic—major bonus.) We also adore the brand's body-centric ethos which is all about relishing in your hygiene ritual.

Total Body Brush, Bathing Culture ($25)

Some favor this multisided, rounded brush because it moves over curves with ease: You have to do less hand maneuvering around knees and armpits since the 360° bristles can hit all sides. These bristles, too, are made from natural sisal bristles, which are sourced from the cactus-like agave plant's large, fleshy leaves. Then the handle is wrapped in comfortable cotton.

In The Buff Natural Bristle Dry Brush, Saje ($15.95)

An ideal in-between option for those who want a handle but nothing too lengthy. Grip it at its head when you need more precision and control; use the handle for harder-to-reach extremities, like the back. The bristles are vegan nylon, and the wood is certified by the Forest Wood Council, which is given to manufactories who use responsible harvesting practices.

Dry Body Brush, Biossance ($17)

This is an incredibly affordable option that's still perfectly durable and functional? Yes, please. The handle is made of bamboo, and the bristles are synthetic (or cruelty-free). These bristles are a bit stronger than other options out there, so it will provide a deeper exfoliation. Finally, it comes from one of our favorite environmentally friendly brush makers, of all kinds.

Dry Body Brush, Ecotools ($4.99)

For the dry brusher who wants to tackle it all. This full set comes with a standard oval natural boar bristle brush—with a detachable long handle, so you can reach harder areas like your back. Further your ritual with the special massage tool, which can help target fascia. Then use the smaller brush for more delicate areas.

Dry Brush Body Set, Rosena ($18)

This is for expert-level dry brushers only: It's made with extra-fine ion-charged copper bristles, so it will provide a very intense exfoliation (and irritation if you're not accustomed to it, nor have the proper technique). But for those looking for a copper brush, this is one of the finest made out there: Each brush is handmade from sustainably harvested beechwood, the copper is sourced quality copper alloy, and the outer circle is made from all-natural and ethically sourced boar hair.

Ionic Dry Brush, Prana ($44.50)

So delicately soft and elegant, Aveda's nylon brush will sweep over your face for a very gentle exfoliation, lifting off dead skin cells for better skin care absorption. The oval shape and stem are designed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, and the rounded peaks and flows of the bristles give a very subtle massage-like feeling.

Tulasāra Radiant Facial Dry Brush, Aveda ($44)

This small, rounded-face dry brush is made with natural boar bristles—and, while it's still gentle enough for the face, is a bit more exfoliating. Plus, the small surface area allows for more targeted precision when going over the more nuanced curves of the face, neck, and hands.

Cedar Complexion Brush, Earth Shift ($9)

This unique option is made of grass tree wood, all natural bristles, and finely wound hemp twine at the handle. We love the combo of medium circular head and a short, easy-to-grip handle. Why? You can reach harder areas like the back, back of the legs, feet, and so on.

Dry Brush, Esker ($18)

This delightfully soft brush has a cotton strap that fits neatly over your fingers to give you optimal control. (The brand also recommends this hack: Speed up the process by using one per hand, but we'll let you make the call.) We also love it for the medium-small size, which helps you hit the small spots, while covering decent space elsewhere.

Plant-Based Body Brush, Osea ($28)

This is made from softer goat hair bristles (which come from a chain of reliable suppliers, according to the brand). The oak handle is also certified responsibly forested. This small, delicate brush also comes with the ease of a handle, if you prefer that to a handheld (think of it like holding a Clarisonic brush).
