Kansa Gua Sha er et ansigtsmassageværktøj håndstøbt i Kansa-metal, den traditionelle kobber-tin bronze, der anvendes i Ayurvedic praksis. Formen følger gua sha-teknikken: brede, målrettede strøg hen over kæbe, nakke, kinder og pande. Materialet er det, der adskiller det fra stenredskaber.

Kansa har en naturligt kølende egenskab. I Ayurveda forbindes dette med at berolige Pitta, varmen og reaktiviteten i huden, som viser sig som rødme, hævelse og en ujævn teint. Stenredskaber har ikke denne egenskab. Kansa trækker blidt varmen væk fra hudens overflade, mens værktøjet bevæger sig hen over den, hvilket er grunden til, at oplevelsen af at arbejde med det føles anderledes i hånden.

Brugt med en ansigtsolie og langsomme, opadgående strøg hjælper Gua Sha olien med at trænge jævnt ind og efterlader huden rolig og afbalanceret. Det er en praksis, der tager fem minutter og ikke kræver andet end et par dråber olie og en fast rutine.

  • 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.
