Gua Sha Kansa

€20,00

Le Kansa Gua Sha est un outil de massage facial coulé à la main en métal Kansa, le bronze traditionnel de cuivre et d’étain utilisé dans la pratique Ayurvedic. La forme suit la technique du gua sha : des mouvements larges et délibérés sur la mâchoire, le cou, les joues et le front. C’est le matériau qui le distingue des outils en pierre.

Le Kansa possède une qualité naturellement rafraîchissante. En Ayurveda, cela est associé à l’apaisement de Pitta, la chaleur et la réactivité de la peau qui se manifestent par des rougeurs, des gonflements et un teint irrégulier. Les outils en pierre ne possèdent pas cette propriété. Le Kansa retire doucement la chaleur de la surface de la peau au fur et à mesure que l’outil la parcourt, ce qui explique pourquoi la sensation de l’utiliser est différente en main.

Utilisé avec une huile pour le visage et des mouvements lents vers le haut, le Gua Sha aide l’huile à pénétrer uniformément et laisse la peau calme et apaisée. C’est une pratique qui prend cinq minutes et ne nécessite rien d’autre que quelques gouttes d’huile et une routine régulière.

  • 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.
