If you’re wondering what exactly facial suction cups are, here’s what you need to know.
What are facial suction cups?
A massage technique that is great if you want your skin to glow and look smooth, the cupping technique works on the principle of suction. When parts of the face are sucked into a small cup that sticks to it, blood flow is generously increased. According Healthline, “It can help relieve muscle tension, promote cell repair, and aid in other regenerations.”
If the thought of your face being sucked into cups makes you think it will leave marks, don’t worry! It is strongly recommended that you do not practice this technique on your bare face, but massage your face lightly with a facial oil. Here’s how you can choose the right facial oil based on your skin type.
Take a look at the video below to learn how you can incorporate cupping into your skincare routine.
