RECHARGE ionic body brush - long handle

RECHARGE, which you may originally be familiar with as the one with a leather handle, is available in this version with a longer, curved handle, making it easier to reach your back and feet. A perfectly balanced body brush just like the RECHARGE dry brush – simply with a long, curved handle.

Brushing the skin on the body is a centuries-old beauty ritual, practised in many cultures and across the globe.

Achieve visible results

Dry brush regularly with the RECHARGE ionic dry brush and achieve visible results quickly: the dry brush alleviates dry skin on the body, removes dead skin cells, helps to reduce and prevent cellulite*, boosts energy levels and promotes balance and well-being in the body. Brush with long, straight strokes towards the heart to stimulate the nervous system, blood circulation and the lymphatic system.

Negative ions

Dry brushing with Karmameju’s ionic body brush generates negative ions through natural friction on the skin. Negative ions support the body’s oxygen uptake, aid detoxification and strengthen the skin’s resilience. The fresh energy and sense of wellbeing you experience by the sea or in the forest is the same feeling that ReCHARGE gives you.

Skin type

The Recharge Karmameju dry brush is suitable for all skin types, but if you have sensitive skin or are new to dry brushing, you may wish to start with the BUFF brush and then move on to Recharge later.

A ritual many return to

Karmameju dry brushes have become classics, and thousands of consumers have made dry brushing a daily ritual because the many benefits can be seen and felt – and it can feel like something’s missing when you haven’t done it.

Materials and design

RECHARGE is made from beech wood with a strap of genuine full-grain leather and natural, soft horsehair from the horse’s mane, as well as extra-fine copper wires. Karmameju dry brushes are unique – developed with specific hardness, hair type, hair density and hair length, and made from FSC-certified beech wood.

*In a study by the University of Sunderland in England, researchers found that daily dry brushing reduced participants’ cellulite by an average of 26% in just 5 weeks.

FOLLOW THE ILLUSTRATION BELOW TO SEE THE BRUSHING DIRECTIONS.

• Karmameju’s gentle dry brush should be used without water or soap. Use it before your bath as part of your daily skincare routine.

• Start with light, gentle strokes and adjust the pressure depending on how sensitive your skin is. Begin at your feet, brush inwards from the extremities of your body and work rhythmically in long, even strokes towards the heart. Feel free to combine the long, straight strokes with circular movements on the outer thighs and on the buttocks. 

• When brushing your neck, brush from the shoulders upwards. As you are above the heart, the force of gravity will naturally draw the blood towards the heart.

• Brush your whole body except for the delicate skin on the face, breasts and décolletage, and always brush towards the heart.

• After three to five minutes of dry brushing, you’re ready for a shower. We recommend a cold shower, which stimulates blood circulation and gives your skin a fresh glow. After your shower, rub your body thoroughly with a dry towel. Finish with Karmameju body care products.

• It’s a good idea to use two brushes, one in each hand – we call this ‘double-brushing’ – as this creates a good rhythmic flow and allows you to brush your whole body thoroughly in just a couple of minutes.

• Remember that the toxins released by dry brushing need to be flushed out by drinking water every day. All new beauty rituals take a little time before you can see clear results, so be patient and persistent with your dry brushing routine.

Do not wash with water. For easy and effective cleansing, we recommend caring for your dry brush with the TINY cleansing tool for dry brushes, which effectively removes dirt and dead skin cells from all types of Karmameju dry brushes. The TINY cleansing tool is designed for daily use and for weekly/monthly maintenance following use of the RECHARGE dry brush.

Alternatively, after use, run your thumb through the bristles to remove any skin particles.Tap any excess skin particles against a hard surface. 

PLEASE NOTE:Do not use the brush if you are allergic to copper, nickel, bronze, tin or horsehair. Do not brush if your skin is wet or damp. Take care not to brush too hard; avoid areas with irritated, sensitive or damaged skin, and take extra care around raised moles and grazes. It is normal for the skin to redden slightly. Loose bristles may occur. Remove any loose copper wires protruding from the surface of the brush.

Made from FSC-certified beech wood with a strap of exclusive full-grain leather. The bristles consist of horsehair cut from the tail or mane. Traditionally handcrafted in Germany. All our dry brushes have a hardness, hair type, hair density and hair length specifically developed for Karmameju.
