What is the difference between Porcelain & Ceramic?
While both are made of clay, Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures and is considered more premium due to its better durability and solid weight.
It tends to be noticeably heavier than bone China or Ceramic pieces of the same size.
Why is Fine Porcelain so special as a Gua Sha material?
This 7 Blade shape cannot be cut by machine as its curves and roundness make it impossible to do so. Using fine porcelain and an expert matte glazing technique, allows for the smoothest, delicate glide over skin and fascia. All the above makes this Gua Sha very difficult and costly to produce, which is why it is extremely rare to see Gua Sha of this calibre (and also why it is only made in limited batches)
Why is it called the Fox Face Gua Sha?
Like the namesake delicate face shape of foxes, the Gua Sha got its nickname due to its main function of minimizing the look of bloated or "double" chins, facial swelling and puffiness. It is considered an advanced form of Gua Sha for those who have experience with facial yoga, anatomy and massage, or for those wanting to learn more.
How often should I use this Gua Sha?
Gua Sha experts recommend daily use especially as this 7 Blade Gua Sha can help drain submental lymphatic nodes under the chin and jaw which typical Gua Shas can't easily reach. These nodes are often neglected during most facial massage routines, but still tend to bloat and swell - leading to a common mistaking of chin fat when it's mainly water retention and sagging. If you struggle with bloating and swelling under the chin, this would be a great way to debloat in a holistic, non-invasive manner.
Besides minimizing the look of double chins and facial slimming, does this Gua Sha do anything else? Do I need to use oil with it?
The ultra-smooth Matte Glazing finish of the Gua Sha means that it can glide across the skin without pulling and tugging - additional oil, serums and skincare are entirely optional.
Besides Facial Slimming, the Fox Face Gua Sha can also help lift and firm the skin, release fascia and muscle tension instantly.
