What Is Facial Cupping & The Benefits For Your Skin.

Originating from ancient Chinese medicine, facial cupping has gained popularity as a non-invasive way to achieve glowing, rejuvenated skin.

How Does Facial Cupping Work?

Facial cupping works by creating a gentle vacuum on the skin's surface. When you squeeze your facial cup onto an area of your face, a gentle suction is created. This draws blood flow towards the surface of your skin. The suction also creates a controlled mini-trauma in the skin (in the same way as micro-needling and derma-rollers would), which prompts a natural healing process in the skin. More oxygenated blood flows to the area, collagen and fibroblast production is stimulated, and the skin cells are encouraged to reproduce. The result? Skin that feels and looks more plump, healthy and glowing.

Long-term Benefits:

• Improved Circulation: Facial cupping enhances blood flow to the skin, promoting better oxygen and nutrient delivery. This helps your skin look more vibrant and healthy.

  
  
• Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The suction from the cups stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

  
  
• Lymphatic Drainage: It aids in lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and swelling in the face. This is especially beneficial for those dealing with morning facial puffiness or sinus congestion.

  
  
• Detoxification: Facial cupping can help remove toxins and impurities from the skin, leading to clearer, smoother complexion.

  
  
• Relaxation: The gentle suction and gliding of cups across the face provide a relaxing, spa-like experience, reducing tension and stress.

  
  
• Enhanced Product Absorption: By improving blood circulation and opening up pores, facial cupping can boost the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective.

While facial cupping offers numerous benefits, it's important to remember that it should be performed correctly. Always use a high quality face oil to prep the skin. Facial cupping sessions should only last between 5 and 20 minutes. Watch our short tutorial HERE.

Do not leave cups suctioned on the skin without moving them as they will leave bruising. We recommend not using facial cups on any areas of inflamed, irritated or damaged skin and areas with Botox and filler.

And remember, consistency is key. By incorporating a simple 5-minute facial cupping routine into your skincare regimen 3-4 times per week, you can enjoy improved circulation, reduced signs of aging, and a radiant complexion!
