facial cups

Incorporate this traditional beauty tool in your daily skincare routine to improve the skin’s radiance and naturally sculpt and tone your face. Cupping is deeply ingrained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This therapy uses suction cups directly on the skin to promote circulation and relieve muscle tension.

how it works

Using the silicone cups on your face creates a gentle suction effect. This suction pulls blood and nutrients from the deepest layers of the skin, to the surface. This stimulates your skin and leaves you with a refreshed glow. This gentle suction also helps to drain lymph nodes and increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This microtrauma helps to encourage your body’s healing response sending platelets, white blood cells, and other healing and inflammatory responses to affected areas. This is great for areas with more stagnation like fine lines, uneven tone and dullness.

directions:

• Always prep the skin with plenty of oil serum in order to help the cups glide smoothly over the skin

• Always use a mirror so you can see where you are directing the cups and how much suction you are using

• Always keep the cups moving, do not let the cups sit on the skin as this can cause slight temporary bruising/redness

• Use a light amount of suction, the cups are most effective with light suction so they can glide smoothly. *Bruising can be avoided by keeping the cups moving at all times and using light pressure. The goal is not to bruise your skin.
