Body brush

No. Kivello does not hurt or irritate the skin: the boar and nylon bristles stimulate gently and safely. A light pinkness right after brushing is completely normal. It shows that circulation and lymphatic flow are waking up, just like after a massage, and it fades within minutes. It is a sign the brush is doing its job, supporting firmer, brighter, healthier-looking skin from the very first uses.

Yes, Kivello can be part of your routine during pregnancy. The body changes a lot in this period and caring for the skin matters more than ever. With gentle movements the brush supports microcirculation and skin elasticity, leaving it softer and smoother.

We suggest avoiding the belly and adjusting the pressure to how your skin feels. Legs, arms and hips are the ideal areas and where results show most. If you have any doubts, ask your doctor first.

The quickest way is our Brush Reset cleansing spray: a few sprays after use remove dirt, bacteria and impurities and the bristles dry in minutes. You can also wash the bristles with lukewarm soapy water once a week, keeping the wooden handle out of the water as much as possible.

• Shake off the excess water.
• Leave the brush bristles down, hanging or resting on a towel in a well-ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the wood.
• In a humid or cold bathroom you can speed up drying with a hair dryer on warm air.

Wooden handle care (optional, now and then): rub a little natural oil (tea tree, linseed or olive oil) into the wood with a cloth. It creates a protective barrier and keeps the wood supple and durable.

The brush itself measures 12 × 8.5 × 5.5 cm and weighs 129 g: it fills the palm comfortably, covers the legs and thighs in a few strokes and is small enough to travel with. In its box it is 13 × 9 × 6 cm and 144 g.

Yes. Kivello is gentle by design and suits even sensitive or easily irritated skin. The boar and nylon bristles work delicately: they unclog pores, calm post-hair-removal bumps and refine the texture without being harsh. Start with very light pressure and short sessions, and let your skin tell you how much it likes. Many women with sensitive skin find Kivello a safe, natural way back to soft, even, toned skin.

It depends on your skin and on how consistently you use the brush. This is what most customers notice:

• From the first uses: the skin feels immediately softer and smoother, with a fresh, revitalised sensation.
• After 7–10 days: a more even, brighter skin tone, less dryness and a refined texture.
• After 3–4 weeks: deeper changes become visible, including fewer bumps of strawberry skin, a softened look of cellulite and better overall firmness.

Dry brushing is a natural practice and works best as part of a consistent routine, with good skincare and a balanced lifestyle.

Yes. Dry brushing works on its own: it stimulates the skin, boosts circulation and gives visible results. The real difference comes when you follow it with an oil or cream. Freshly brushed skin, free of dead cells, absorbs active ingredients far better, so whatever you apply afterwards works harder. Think of Kivello as a boost for your whole body-care routine.

Most cheap body brushes use only soft natural fibres that go limp within weeks, or hard plastic bristles that scratch. Kivello blends natural boar bristles with nylon: the boar gives gentle, natural exfoliation, the nylon keeps the brush springy and effective for much longer and, because it does not absorb water, it dries fast and does not let bacteria build up. Add a solid wooden handle with an elastic strap that keeps the brush secure in your palm, and you get a tool made for daily use, not a single season.

No. The body brush is made for the thicker skin of the body. For the face use the Kivello Compact or Signature facial lymphatic brushes, with much softer bristles designed for the delicate skin of the face and neck. You can get both in one of the sets above and save €10.
