Benefits, Techniques and Protocols



This 4-piece,  hypoallergenic silicon, facial cupping set can be used at home, and in the treatment room, to sculpt the face, neck, and decollete. Using these tools helps transport nutrients and oxygen through the fresh blood supply (and boosted blood circulation) for healthy skin which also slows the aging process. 

REASONS TO LOVE FACIAL CUPPING

TENSION RELIEF
We are all gulity of holding so much tension in our face and neck. Incorporating facial cupping into your AM & PM routine can really get into knotted areas to release any muscular tension, which will allow muscles to do their supportive jobs properly. You’ll experience a dramatic release of tension with facial cupping incorporated frequently into your self-care routine. This can be a great tool for TMJ and headache sufferers. Relaxing our facial muscles regularly also prevents and can help fade light expression lines.

DETOXIFYING
Facial cupping can be used to clear blockages in meridian channels, which connect our organs together and transport both blood and chi (life force). Our channels need to be clear in order to work harmoniously and for chi to flow well throughout the body. If an organ is not functioning properly, the channel could be blocked - and vice versa. We can clear the channel of blockages by gliding the facial cuppings tools along it. Cupping imparts a truly holistic effect on the body. This manual movement stimulates our lymphatic system, helping our organs function optimally by breaking up stagnation, flowing debris and toxins within the body for easier expulsion.

NATURAL FACELIFT
The rounded shape and various sizes of facial cups work perfectly to lift, sculpt and tighten the skin. Regular use can help prevent the signs of aging such as sagging, dull and wrinkled skin. Since facial cupping helps stimulate circulation, the technique itself oxygenates and carries nutrients to the skin cells. The increased blood flow helps one achieve a more lively, plumped up and youthful appearance.

GLOWING SKIN
No flow, no glow! As mentioned above, facial cupping increases circulation and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion. The action of gliding the facial cupping tool across the skin aids in serum/moisturizer product penetration, so those juicy phytonutrients go deeper into the layers of skin to feed us even more hydration. Facial cupping can also be used to prevent and clear acne, decongesting the skin and lessening inflammation.

Directions:

1. Apply 4-6 drops of Neroli Nirvana Oil to the face, neck and decolette for glide.
2. Create suction and constantly move the cups starting from the chin upward on the face in circular motion (or in a lymphatic drainage pattern).
3. Use the smallest size cups for delicate areas around your eyes, lips and brows.
