FACIAL CUPPING

Description

FACIAL CUPPING

Facial cupping is a natural, non-invasive therapy that uses suction cups to stimulate your skin and muscles.
It works by creating suction to stimulate the skin and underlying muscle tissue. Cups are moved in specific directions which promotes new oxygen-rich blood circulation, releases muscle tension, stimulates lymphatic flow and boosts collagen production. The result: glowing, plump, and healthy skin.

Facial cupping benefits:

* increase oxygen-rich blood circulation
* strengthen skin and connective tissues
* stimulate cells responsible for collagen production
* relax muscle tension

Because of this, the practice is said to:

* brighten skin
* minimise the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles
* tone chin, jawline, neck, and décolletage
* decrease puffiness
* regulate oil production
* improve nutrient delivery and product absorption

It’s also said to improve the flow of your “qi” (pronounced “chee”). Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force.

Some points to keep in mind when facial cupping:
* Avoid facial cupping if you are prone to broken capillaries. Do not cup over open sores, warts or acne.
* Start with short 5 minute sessions, no more than 3 times/week, to adjust your skin to this new technique.

How to clean your cups:
1. Wash the cups with hot, soapy water (you can use a small brush to reach the smallest areas inside the cups)
2. Rinse with warm water
3. Let cups air dry on a clean surface
