Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to skin brush includes a drive mechanism, a bristle carrier connected to the drive mechanism, and a plurality of bristle or brush groups connected to the bristle carrier. In operation, the bristle carrier is driven by the drive mechanism so as to rotate in a first direction at a first speed and each of the bristle groups rotate in a second direction at a second speed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A skin brush comprising
 a drive mechanism;   a brush carrier connected to the drive mechanism, wherein the brush carrier rotates in a first direction at a first speed; and   a plurality of brushes connected to the bristle carrier, wherein each of the brushes rotate in a second direction and at a second speed.   
     
     
         2 . The skin brush of  claim 1 , wherein the drive mechanism is fluid powered. 
     
     
         3 . The skin brush of  claim 1 , wherein the drive mechanism is electrically powered. 
     
     
         4 . The skin brush of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle, wherein the brush carrier is connected to the handle and the drive mechanism is received within the handle. 
     
     
         5 . The skin brush of  claim 4 , further comprising a nozzle assembly connected to the handle. 
     
     
         6 . The skin brush of  claim 5 , wherein the nozzle assembly is removable from the handle. 
     
     
         7 . The skin brush of  claim 1 , wherein the drive mechanism comprises
 a turbine;   a sun gear connected to the turbine and rotatable therewith; and   a plurality of planet gears engaged with the sun gear and connected to the plurality of brushes.   
     
     
         8 . The skin brush of  claim 7 , further comprising an engine housing comprising
 a turbine compartment for receiving the turbine therein; and   an outer gear defined on a bottom surface, wherein the outer gear engages the plurality of planet gears.   
     
     
         9 . The skin brush of  claim 8 , wherein the brush carrier is positioned between the plurality of brushes and the plurality of planet gears. 
     
     
         10 . The skin brush of  claim 8 , wherein the engine housing defines an inlet and an exhaust both in fluid communication with the turbine compartment and a fluid source. 
     
     
         11 . The skin brush of  claim 10 , wherein the inlet directs fluid into the turbine compartment from the fluid source and the exhaust directs fluid out of the turbine compartment. 
     
     
         12 . A cleansing system comprising
 a showerhead in fluid communication with a fluid source;   a bracket connected to the showerhead; and   a skin brush removable from the bracket.
