RANAVAT Kansa Wand: Ayurvedic Facial Massage Tool
Built on the art and ingredients of Ayurveda — and to preserve its ancient tradition and the craft that has been handed down through skilled artisans for generation upon generation, RANAVAT is an innovative beauty brand founded by South Asian scientist turned entrepreneur Michelle Ranavat. Handmade by a family that has been working with the sacred kansa metal (a mix of copper and tine) for over 900 years, the Kansa Wand: Ayurvedic Facial Massage Tool can be wielded to depuff, soften fine lines and stimulate energy flow.
A weighty, luxurious tool that promotes collagen and elastin production, work RANAVAT's Kansa Wand: Ayurvedic Facial Massage Tool over your forehead, jaw and cheekbones to boost circulation and stimulate your 'energy points'.
According to ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, the kansa metal is thought to be more healing than gold or silver and helps increase your skin's ability to heal. It's a sacred blend of copper and tin, that aids in the body's natural collagen and elastin production and promotes skin repair. Inspired by similar tools that have been used for over 5,000 years by Ayurvedic practitioners, the Kansa Wand not only promotes detoxification but also plumps, depuffs, firms and softens fine lines. You'll see it working by the greying effect on your skin; it's easily rinse-able by water and simply means that your skin is detoxing.
The Kansa wand is used to massage the marma or "energy points" on your body. First, apply a few drops of your favourite serum (Radiant Rani Brightening Saffron Serum pairs nicely with the wand). Copper is a healing metal that will enhance the function of an antioxidant-rich serum or oil as you gently massage.
You can massage in any way that feels best. Some recommendations are:
1. Massage the wand in circles around the middle of the forehead five times in a counterclockwise direction. Repeat five times in a clockwise direction.
2. Draw the figure-eight pattern on the forehead five times. This calms the mind and emotions, stimulates memory, and improves concentration. It’s also helpful for relieving sinus headaches.
3. Massage in a zigzag pattern across the forehead five times, using gentle pressure.
4. Clench your teeth so that you can feel the jaw muscle. Massage with firm pressure in a circular motion on this point with the wand. Repeat five times.
5. Circle the cheekbone five times using firm pressure.
6. Move under the cheekbone. Massage upward and downward with firm pressure, moving from the corner of the mouth up to the earlobe and back to the corner of the mouth.
7. Move to the jawline. Move down from the ear to along the jaw towards the chin, from the chin back along the jaw to the ear lobe.
Care: For daily care, simply wipe the wand after each use or use soap and water only on the metal part. For a deeper clean, create a paste with tea tree oil and fuller's earth clay.
