What's the Best Body Brush for Sensitive Skin? Why the Altesse Stands Out from the Rest

Boar bristles for performance and exceptional softness

The Altesse Studio brush for sensitive skin is crafted from ultra-soft natural black boar bristles—a high-quality material known for its unique properties. Even gentler than the white bristles used for normal skin, it is this detail that truly sets this exceptional brush apart from others. While synthetic fibers can feel harsh and irritating, boar bristles glide seamlessly over the skin, without friction.

Why? Its keratin structure—which is naturally soft and flexible—allows for effective stimulation without harsh friction.

Created through a unique collaboration, designed to suit every skin type

Our Vitalis body brushes were born from a collaboration between Altesse Studio Emmanuelle and Rebecca Trévalinet, a mother-and-daughter duo, therapists, and founders of the Trévalinet Method.

Together, they created something far more than just a brush—a complete 5-minute routine inspired by some of the world’s most effective drainage techniques (Renata França, Vodder, and Kobido), enhanced with the principles of traditional Chinese acupressure. A thoughtful fusion of therapeutic expertise and artisanal craftsmanship, suitable for every skin type, even the most sensitive.

One ritual, four benefits—without any irritation

Every stroke is an act of care—a moment of pampering for your body and your skin.

With its carefully designed bristle arrangement, the Vitalis brush allows for gentle vertical and horizontal strokes, stimulating both superficial lymphatic flow and deeper interstitial circulation.

In just 5 minutes, body brushing helps to:

• Lymphatic drainage support
• Reduce water retention
• Support the immune system
• Improve overall skin quality

How often? At least three times a week. Ideally in the morning to help stimulate circulation and boost energy, and in the evening to release toxins and relieve tension. Always apply before showering, on dry skin.

Dry brushing with Altesse Studio excellence in every movement

Like Altesse Studio , the Vitalis body brush embodies French artisanal expertise passed down since 1875. At Altesse Studio, tradition evolves every day, with every detail designed to combine well-being, performance, and lasting quality.

The olive wood handle, hand-finished with linseed oil, the high-quality boar bristles, and the brush’s distinctive bristle arrangement all reflect this commitment to excellence.

A brush designed to be a lifelong companion—one that gently brings out your skin’s natural radiance, day after day, year after year.
