Preferably one that can be purchased in a retail store here in the US?

I know Sephora and Body Shop had them when I was looking a year ago. I bought mine at Whole Foods but never really used it.

My sephora didn't have any natural bristle ones. I can check the body shop though.

Thanks!

Sorry I didn't know you wanted a natural bristle one. I'm pretty sure the one at the Body Shop is nylon. You may be able to get a mushroom brush at a kitchen store like Bed bath and beyond. I don't know how soft the bristles are or a nail brush but I know those bristles are really hard.

I don't know if you have one close but Whole Foods carries a large selection of natural bristle facial and body brushes, I also find them (same brand can't think of the name) at every health food store I have been in.

I bought a natural bristle shaving brush from a mens shaving shop. Works really well and a nice shape to hold on to.

I have two facial brushes that I use for dry brushing, this one that I got at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/New-England-Earthline-Skincare-Products/dp/B000VV0JNQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1341254975&sr=8-3&keywords=natural+bristle+face+brush

And this one that I bought at Tonya Zavasta's site:

http://www.beautifulonraw.com/natural-beauty-store/facial-brush-for-glowing-complexion.html

I prefer the first one — the round one — because I find it's easier to use, especially around the eye area.

Both brushes are firm enough to do a good job of dry brush exfoliating. Check out the first review for the one at Amazon by Carrie E. Voigt.

I just use a natural bristle body brush that I picked up at a health food store. It works really well. Much better than the softer bristle facial brush I have.

Thanks for the responses. I picked up a Bass natural bristle facial brush. It's pretty scratchy, even with minimal pressure. I may have to make a trip to Whole Foods and see what they have.

In the meantime, I'm going to try using this one wet a few times in hopes that it will soften the bristles enough to use it dry. I saw quite a few body brushes but they were all too big to get around the nose, eyes, etc.

Thanks again!

Just saw one yesterday at Sephora, very soft and a decent size. I bought a little plastic pore scrubber with soft bristles instead for the hubby to use in the shower.

Maybe try shampooing and then soaking the bristles in coconut oil.
