More than 15 years ago, Aglaja’s founder and owner, Bruno Oberli, had the idea of enhancing showers with an innovative shower system. A fully automatic brush that helps clean hard-to-reach areas of the body (shoulders, back) whilst also providing a soothing massage effect. A small component with a big impact that can be fitted in any shower. Retrofitting is also no problem.

Although originally designed for wet use, Aglaja shower systems are increasingly being used for dry brushing massage too. Simply because it’s so convenient and makes it easier to dry brush the whole body. When will you discover dry brushing with an Aglaja shower system?

For health, wellbeing and beautiful skin – dry brushing does the trick!

Dry brushing is by no means a new concept. Reports of this form of massage date back to ancient times. And in the ancient Indian healing tradition of Ayurveda, daily dry brushing has a firm place. More recently, the renowned spa priest Sebastian Kneipp incorporated dry brushing into the Kneipp cures named after him. Whilst dry brushing in Ayurveda is primarily aimed at detoxifying the body, in Kneipp cures it serves more to strengthen the immune system.

But dry brushing also has many other positive effects on the body. It enhances general well-being, promotes health and ensures beautiful skin. Blood circulation is stimulated even whilst brushing. You can feel this as a pleasant tingling sensation throughout the body.

Brushing evenly towards the heart also stimulates the lymphatic system. The lymphatic vessels play a key role in detoxifying the body. Dry brushing also prevents lymphatic congestion beneath the skin. When practised regularly, it promotes lymphatic drainage. The positive effect: after a while, sagging connective tissue becomes firmer and more toned.

Brushing with firm bristles in particular also has a skin-exfoliating effect. Dead skin cells are effectively removed. The skin underneath is able to ‘breathe’ again and new skin cell production is stimulated. As a result, this skin renewal programme contributes to a flawless complexion in the long term.

So, as you can see, there are plenty of good reasons to start dry brushing today rather than tomorrow. With an Aglaja shower system, it’s particularly easy and convenient.

Aglaja shower systems – dry or wet brush massage!

You can choose between two versions: the Standard model or the Supérieur model. Both versions feature an automatically rotating massage brush. In the standard model, the height is adjusted manually. In the comfort version, the height adjustment is system-controlled and individual massage programmes can be set according to your preferences and needs.

You can order the massage brushes in standard, extra-soft and firm variants, all made from easy-care nylon fibres. The brushes are easy to replace on the system. The natural-fibre brush is particularly well suited to dry brushing. A light touch is all it takes to set the brush in motion. So simply lean against it and the dry brushing can begin. Or perhaps you’d prefer wet brushing with warm, bubbling shower water. An Aglaja shower system allows you to enjoy brush massages exactly as you like.

It’s quick and easy to get your hands on an Aglaja shower system!

An Aglaja shower system can be fitted to your shower in no time. Simply order the system of your choice, along with the matching massage brushes, from the Aglaja online shop. Delivery is immediate, and you can start the installation straight away.

Installation is effortless and can be done on your own. You don’t need to be a professional tradesman, as drilling isn’t even necessary thanks to the drill-free mounting system developed specifically for the Aglaja shower system.

And off you go with dry brushing! We hope you enjoy it. Your Aglaja team!
