Kansa Gua Sha

€20,00

Kansa Gua Sha är ett ansiktsmassageverktyg handgjutet i Kansa-metall, den traditionella koppar-tenn-bronset som används inom Ayurvedic praxis. Formen följer gua sha-tekniken: breda, medvetna drag över käke, nacke, kinder och panna. Materialet är det som skiljer det från stenverktyg.

Kansa har en naturligt svalkande egenskap. Inom Ayurveda förknippas detta med att lugna Pitta, värmen och reaktiviteten i huden som visar sig som rodnad, svullnad och ojämn hudton. Stenverktyg har inte denna egenskap. Kansa drar varsamt värme från hudens yta när verktyget rör sig över den, vilket är anledningen till att upplevelsen av att arbeta med det känns annorlunda i handen.

Använt med en ansiktsolja och långsamma, uppåtgående drag hjälper Gua Sha oljan att absorberas jämnt och lämnar huden lugn och harmonisk. Det är en metod som tar fem minuter och kräver inget mer än några droppar olja och en regelbunden rutin.

  • Broad, flat strokes across the jaw, neck, cheeks, and forehead cover the full face surface, the technique is complementary to dome tools and works the skin differently
  • The cooling quality of Kansa is traditionally associated in Ayurveda with calming Pitta, the heat that shows on the surface as puffiness, sensitivity, and redness
  • The sweeping movement, done with a face oil, helps the oil spread evenly and absorb more completely across larger surface areas than applying by hand
  • Used consistently, the skin looks more settled, even, and relaxed, particularly along the jaw and across the forehead where surface tension tends to accumulate
  • The grey-green tint that sometimes appears during use is a natural reaction between the Kansa metal, the oil, and the skin's pH. It is not harmful. It is the mark of real, uncoated bronze.

Begin with clean skin. Apply 3 to 4 drops of face oil and spread gently across the face and neck using your fingertips.

Hold the Gua Sha at a low angle against the skin, the flat face of the tool against the cheek, not the edge. Begin at the neck, using long upward strokes from the collarbone toward the jaw. Three to five strokes per side.

Move to the jaw. Place the curved inner edge along the jawline and stroke outward toward the ear. Work upward across the cheek with long, slow movements from the corner of the mouth toward the temple. Repeat on the forehead — from the centre outward toward each temple, and from the brow upward toward the hairline.

Use the smaller curved edge for the nose bridge and the area between the brows.

The strokes should always move upward and outward. The pressure is light. The oil does the work, the Gua Sha glides across it.

Five minutes for the full face. Wipe the tool clean with a soft damp cloth and dry before storing.
