A weighted dome of Kansa bronze on a hand-turned teak handle. The wand is one of the oldest face tools in India, and the simplest. You oil the skin, and let the metal do the work. Slow passes across the jaw, the brow, the cheekbones. A few quiet minutes at the end of a day.

Kansa is a copper and tin alloy, worked by hand for generations. The dome is cool to the touch and finished so it glides rather than drags.

How to use

  • Oil the skin first, generously.
  • Small end for the brow and under the eyes.
  • Large dome for cheeks, forehead and jaw.
  • Slow circles, a light hand, finishing down the neck.

Product Story

Kansa is bell metal, a bronze held to a precise 78% copper and 22% tin. That exact ratio is what makes it Kansa rather than plain bronze, and getting it right is the whole of the craft.

The dome is cast from the alloy in Maharashtra, hammered and polished by hand, then set on a hand-turned teak handle. The metal is finished so it glides rather than drags, and it is made to be used often and kept for years.

Care Instructions

Wipe the bronze dome with a damp cloth after use. Clean with mild castile soap occasionally. Do not submerge in water. The teak handle should be wiped dry — do not saturate with water or oil-based cleansers. Occasionally apply a drop of teak oil to the handle to preserve the wood.
