You may already be familiar with body suction cups, often used during draining and anti-cellulite massages. Its equivalent for the face is “Face Cupping”. This technique from traditional Chinese medicine is gaining more and more notoriety.
Suction cups for the face, smaller than those for the body, are used on targeted areas and have a lifting and relaxing effect. This technique is increasingly popular for rejuvenating the face, and much more.
The benefits of cupping for the face
Activation of lymph and microcirculation
The use of cupping allows you to restart lymphatic circulation and obtain all the benefits: relax, reduce swelling, eliminate toxins and cellular waste. As a bonus, blood microcirculation is reactivated and gives the face a radiant complexion!
A powerful anti-wrinkle
Suction cups, by creating suction, stimulate cell regeneration and the skin's natural production of collagen and elastin. The smallest size of the suction cups allows them to be used on localized wrinkles: frown lines, nasolabial folds, the eye contour, wrinkles around the mouth. The skin is revitalized and appears visibly firmer and plumper with this natural method. The face is lifted without any chemical intervention and the benefits go further: the absorption of treatments following the use of suction cups is even higher.
An anti-acne and blemish ally
In addition to being effective against fine lines and wrinkles, cupping can be used to soothe inflamed and acne or blemish-prone areas. By activating the lymph, the skin is re-oxygenated and restores its balance.
If you have already tried them, cupping has the same well-being effect that you may know from using Gua Sha or a Roll-On for the face. A soothing moment, for In & Out beauty!
How to use facial suction cups?
1. Prepare your skin. Apply a serum suitable for facial massages.
2. Choose facial cupping . The large suction cup will allow you to smooth your forehead, chin and cheeks. And the small suction cup will be used in pumping to target the nasolabial folds, fine lines of crow's feet and frown lines.
3. Proceed with vacuuming. Make the movements from the inside to the outside of the face. Perform the movements on the areas to target for a few minutes.
4. To finish the massage, move down the neck to the collarbones to smooth the neck and décolleté.
Use your cups on the face for 1 to 5 minutes in total, once or twice a week.
Clean them with soap and warm water, then dry the suction cups before storing them.
