How is it different from other face tools like Gua Sha or Kansa Wand?

While Gua sha involves stroking the face with the natural stones, face cupping uses the suction method and involves gliding it on the desired area. While both the tools help to tone the face and promote a healthy flush on the skin, Gua sha is more preferable to achieve the Greek god like sculpted face while face cups have more anti-ageing effects on skin.
Kansa wand is an Indian alternative to face rollers and comes with all its benefits while detoxifying the face and body. With the integration of cooling metals like Copper and tin, It further reduces face/ body heat, known to assist in joint mobility and reduce eye strain.

While Kansa wand goes for all skin types, it is best to use the face cups with the face oil(for dry skin) and should strictly be restrained from using on active acne. For a gua sha, it is again advisable to apply face oil prior as a precaution to excessive scraping of the dry skin.
