The copper dry brush morning ritual
7 reasons women are switching to the Heightened Copper Dry Brush
The 2-minute morning ritual that's quietly making salt scrubs, A$180 massages, and the boar brush in your shower obsolete.
1
Cellulite
Smoother cellulite appearance, fewer dimples, less rippling on the thighs you've been hiding
The cellulite cream didn't work. The roller didn't work. The cardio plateau-ed. The dimples stayed.
Two minutes of firm, heart-ward strokes across the hips, thighs and glutes, daily, does what creams and rollers can't: it lifts the surface, evens the texture, and brings circulation and lymph back into zones that have been pooling and stagnating for years.
"A reduction in cellulite. Thanks to the lymphatic drainage benefits of dry brushing, I noticed fewer visible dimples and rippling on my upper thighs."
Verified Buyer2
Lymph / Depuff
Less morning puffiness, your face looks like yourself again by 7:30 a.m.
Lymph has no pump. It moves when you move. Eight hours flat on a pillow and fluid pools in your face, your eyes, your jawline. The "morning puffiness" you've been blaming on sleep or salt is mostly lymph that hasn't drained yet.
Long, light, heart-ward strokes, neck, jaw, collarbone, then full body, wake the superficial lymph up in two minutes. Most women see the difference in the mirror inside the first week.
"It helps with swelling. I find it actually helps a little with swelling and I haven't had any negative reactions to it."

Exfoliation
Smoother, glowing skin, the kind people start noticing in a week
Two minutes of copper-bristle brushing each morning, on dry skin, before your shower. No scrub, no acid, no water. The bristles lift the layer of dead skin your lotion has been sitting on top of for years.
What women report most often, in their own words:
"My skin glowed in a way that I've never seen done before."
Verified Buyer"Holy dead skin cells! Oh. My. God. I can't even tell you. The exfoliating factor is a 10 out of 10. While I was brushing I could see the dead skin cells come up like a puff of smoke with each brush stroke."
Verified BuyerThe phrase that shows up most across reviews: "like a new woman."

Value
It replaces what you've already been spending on, and stops the bleeding
Most women who switch to Heightened don't add it to their routine. They subtract three or four other things from it.
"No more buying the sugar or salt scrubs that have an over abundance of oils. You'll pay for this with just 3 scrubs from a store."
Verified Buyer"It's the best exfoliator I've tried: lasts way longer than loofas and more hygienic. Easier, cheaper and more even than scrubs."
some__randomThe honest math on A$64:
- A$64 once, versus A$35/month forever in salt scrubs (~A$1,200+ over 3 years)
- A$64 once, versus a single A$150–200 lymphatic drainage massage
- A$64 once, versus the body acids and KP creams that "did nothing"

Absorption
Your moisturiser finally works, because there's nothing in its way anymore
The reason your moisturiser stopped working isn't your moisturiser.
It's the layer of dead skin sitting between the cream and your living skin. Lotion can't penetrate what's already there. Most women have been moisturising over the problem, every day, for years.
Two minutes of copper-bristle brushing lifts that layer cleanly. Your moisturiser sinks in for the first time in a long time. Your tan goes on even. Your razor stops catching. Your body cream, the one you already own, finally does the thing the label said it would do.
"After two weeks of brushing, the cream I've been using actually penetrates. My skin feels deeply nourished for the first time in I don't know how long."

The Bristle
The Goldilocks copper bristle, firm enough to actually work, gentle enough to use every morning
Every other dry brush fails on one side of the same problem:
- PlasticToo soft to actually work. Deforms in weeks.
- BoarSoftens within a month into a glorified loofah.
- SisalToo harsh for sensitive skin from day one.
Copper threads the needle. The bristles hold their exact firmness for the life of the brush. Firm enough to lift dead skin and stimulate lymph. Gentle enough that women with thin, sensitive skin use it daily without irritation.
"Intense exfoliation without disrupting thin, sensitive skin... the copper bristles really do feel like an extra invigorating 'oomph' without scratching me up!"
Verified Buyer"Tried dry brushing with other materials (different kinds of animal hair, polyester, etc.), they weren't this gentle, effective and beneficial."
Verified BuyerThis is the single most-mentioned reason customers say they'll never go back.

Science / Safety
Copper is the only metal the EPA registers as antimicrobial, your brush stays clean between uses
A damp boar brush sitting on a steamy bathroom counter is a sponge. Bacteria multiply on it overnight. Every morning, you're pressing what grew on it back into bare skin.
Copper is different. The EPA registers 275+ copper alloys as actively antimicrobial, the only metal on that list. Hospitals switched ICU touch surfaces to copper and recorded a 58% drop in healthcare-acquired infections in a 2013 peer-reviewed trial (Salgado et al., Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology).
The paradox most people don't expect: copper kills faster when it's dry. Used dry, stored dry, your brush is actually getting cleaner between uses, not dirtier.
This is the reason Heightened uses copper. Not because it sounds wellness-y. Because it's the one metal that does this.

Two minutes. Once a day. Before your shower.
The full ritual, start to finish.
Dry skin, dry brush.
No water, no oil. The brush works best when both skin and bristles are dry, and copper kills bacteria faster dry than wet.
Long, light strokes, heart-ward.
Start at your feet. Work upward. Calves toward thighs, hands toward shoulders. Light pressure, let the bristles do the work.
Face and neck.
Soft circular strokes along the jaw, down the neck, into the collarbone. This is the depuff move.
Shower, then moisturise.
Your moisturiser sinks in differently. That's the dead-skin layer no longer blocking it.
Done. Two minutes. The rest of your day, your skin keeps glowing.
✓
Try Heightened for 90 days. If it isn't the morning you've been told it is, we'll refund every cent.
Use it daily for three months. Brush the way the directions walk you through. If you don't see smoother skin, less puffiness in the mirror, and a moisturiser that finally absorbs the way it was supposed to, just email us.
We refund the full A$64. No questions asked.
That's how confident we are in what two minutes a morning will do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy.
I have sensitive skin. Will copper be too harsh?
+
The copper bristles are firmer than plastic but noticeably gentler than sisal or stiff natural-fiber brushes, most sensitive-skin users describe them as "intense exfoliation without disrupting thin, sensitive skin." Start with light pressure, two to three times a week, and ramp up. If after two weeks of gentle use it isn't working for your skin, send it back, full refund.
How long does one brush last?
+
The bristles hold their firmness for 3+ years of daily use. Most customers replace the brush only because they want a second one for travel, not because the first one wore out.
How is this different from the dry brush I have at home?
+
Most home dry brushes are plastic or boar. Plastic deforms; boar softens within weeks. Copper is the only bristle material the EPA registers as antimicrobial, and it holds its firmness for the life of the brush. "Tried dry brushing with other materials, they weren't this gentle, effective and beneficial."
Will it help with cellulite / KP / dry skin / puffiness?
+
Smoother, softer skin and less morning puffiness are the two most consistently reported outcomes, most customers see both inside the first two weeks. Cellulite appearance and KP improvements come slower (4–6 weeks of daily use). "It's made a huge difference to my skin quality and the appearance of my cellulite."
Is the science real or is this another "ion" gimmick?
+
Three peer-reviewed studies + EPA registration sit behind every claim on this page. Copper's antimicrobial effect is verified (Salgado et al., 2013, 58% hospital infection reduction). Dry-faster killing is verified (Santo et al., 2011). The bristle-firmness story is mechanical, not chemical, we don't claim ion magic.
Why A$64?
+
Hand-finished hardwood, EPA-registered copper alloy. The math: A$64 once versus A$35/month forever in salt scrubs, or one A$150 lymphatic massage. Built to last 3+ years, with a 90-day full-refund safety net.
Am I signing up for a subscription?
+
No. Single purchase. No auto-bill, no card-on-file commitment. Refill on your own schedule, if and when you want.
Will copper turn my skin green?
+
No. The green patina that can form on copper is a natural oxidation process, but it does not transfer to skin during normal use. If any residue appears, simply rinse the brush with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
What if I don't love it?
+
90 days to try it. Email us, we refund the full A$64. No questions asked.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
+
Yes for most pregnancies, but skip the belly and check with your provider first if you're high-risk. Use light pressure on the breasts and limbs only.
