New to the Potions family! We are proud to introduce the 5,000-year-old Kansa Wand, a facial massage tool with a long history in Ayurvedic tradition.
A Kansa Wand is a wooden-handled tool with a tip made of authentic kansa metal—a material made of copper and tin, a detoxifying bell metal alloy known in Ayurveda for its healing properties. It works its magic by making contact with the marma points around the face.
Designed to balance skin's pH level and stimulate circulation, resulting in clearer, brighter, plumper, smoother skin. But the Kansa Wand has the fantastic ability to do so much more than that.
The Kansa Wand aids in lymphatic drainage, which may help clear up acne, reduce puffiness and under-eye bags, and brighten dull skin. But to understand Kansa, you need to know why the lymphatic system is considered very important in skin health in Ayurveda.
It is the body's natural detoxing mechanism. This system is located just below your skin, working to collect waste fluid from our cells and removing toxins from it. However, sometimes it is pretty easy for fluid and toxins to build up in the lymph. Things like dehydration, inflammation, eating too much salt and skipping your workout can affect this natural filtering system and easily become clogged.
The area where lymphatic build-up is most noticeable is on the skin. There are lymph nodes all over your face - in front of the ears, along the jawline, under the chin, around the cheeks. So what happens when toxins are stagnating there? The result is usually breakouts, dullness, oil-overload, puffiness, loss of elasticity, premature ageing and overall and a flakey texture.
So using a facial massage tool like the Kansa Wand can help release the fluid built up, reduce puffiness and dark circles, balance dryness and oiliness, making our skin more radiant. Massaging with a Kansa Wand also increases our circulation and helps to oxygenate our skin.
(1) Gives your skin a glow and improves skin's complexion
(2) Promotes Lymphatic Drainage
(3) Balances Skin's PH Level
(4) Alleviates stress and muscle tension
The Kansa Wand is a pretty easy to use, portable skincare tool to incorporate into your daily routine.
I have personally incorporated the Kansa Wand massage into my nightly skincare ritual. I use it with the Mistress of Spice Face Serum and find that it helps to plump and brighten the skin, softens fine lines, de-puffs the eyes, firms the jawline and cheekbones. It also relaxes the neck and shoulders, significantly easing tensed muscles after staring at the laptop the whole day.
