Facial cupping is a gentle massage technique that uses small suction cups to improve blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and enhance skin elasticity. It’s based on traditional Chinese medicine but has gained popularity in modern skincare for its ability to sculpt and rejuvenate the face.
Benefits of Facial Cupping
~ Increases Blood Flow – Boosts oxygen and nutrients to the skin, giving a healthy glow.
~ Promotes Lymphatic Drainage – Reduces puffiness and helps detoxify the skin.
~ Stimulates Collagen Production – Can improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines.
~ Lifts & Tones – Helps sculpt the face naturally over time.
~ Relieves Tension – Especially around the jaw, cheekbones, and forehead.
How It Works
- Small, soft silicone or glass cups are gently suctioned onto the skin.
- The cups are glided across the face (unlike body cupping, facial cupping doesn't leave marks).
- The motion stimulates circulation and reduces fluid retention
How to Do Facial Cupping at Home
- Apply a facial oil to help the cups glide smoothly.
- Squeeze and place the cup on your skin, creating gentle suction.
- Move the cup in upward & outward strokes (never hold in one spot).
- Focus on the jawline, cheekbones, forehead, and under-eye area (use smaller cups for delicate areas).
- Use for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a week for best results.
