Cupping promotes increased blood circulation, which offers many benefits:

Using the silicone cups on your face creates a gentle suction effect. This suction pulls blood and nutrients from the deepest layers of the skin, to the surface. This stimulates your skin and leaves you with a refreshed glow.
This gentle suction also helps to drain lymph nodes and increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This microtrauma helps to encourage your body’s healing response sending platelets, white blood cells, and other healing and inflammatory responses to affected areas. This is great for areas with more stagnation like fine lines, uneven tone and dullness.
We suggest using our facial cups once a day, either in the morning or at night, when you have time in your routine. If you have sensitive skin, use the cups 1-2 a week only, as not to over stimulate the skin.
Wash your facial cups after each use with warm water and natural soap. Place on a cloth to air dry.

Cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment often applied over acupuncture points using specific warmed, glass bulbs. The warm air in these glass bulbs creates a vacuum drawing fresh blood and nutrients to the surface of the skin. Usually, this form of cupping is performed on the back to help ease muscle cramps, tension, and stimulate detoxification. You have probably seen the common red, circular marks on a person's back after the treatment.
Cupping therapy has been a part of numerous ancient healing systems, such as Chinese, Unani, traditional Korean, Tibetan, and Eastern Traditional Medicine. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates wrote and compiled extensive descriptions of the cupping application to treat the deep accumulation of fluids and pain. It was also a popular historical treatment in Arabic and Islamic countries.
The cupping treatment we now most commonly see is often applied over meridian points on the back to help ease muscle cramps, tension, and stimulate detoxification. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners often use this treatment alongside acupuncture and moxibustion.
