Facial Cupping

Cupping brings life and vigour to the skin, it increases bloodflow, helping to improve the complexion, reduce puffiness and congestion, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Cupping is a quick and easy add on to your existing skin care routine.  You can do cupping a few times a week or when you notice your skin is looking a little dull or tired.   It is excellent to do just before going out for a quick freshen up, to lift, plump and rejuvenate the skin.

We use facial cupping as part of our Tsuboki Face Massage treatment,  and are often asked where to purchase cups for home use.

Here are a few resources on where to purchase cups and a link to a video on facial cupping.

I like the silicon cups from TCM Supplies, they are reasonable priced, will last well and are super easy to use.  Silicon Cupping Set

They also sell this set which is made of glass and is also good, though when starting out I feel the silicon set is easier to use.  Glass Cupping Set

The skin must be oiled before cupping (preferably do not use creams as they will not have the same flow with the cups),  Jojoba oil is my favourite to use, but you can also use oils such as sweet almond, argan or rose hip,  or,  kitchen oils like olive, grape seed or sunflower.

Here is a simple and quick routine video on youtube.
