Incorporate this traditional beauty tool in your daily skincare routine to improve the skin’s radiance and naturally sculpt and tone your face. Cupping is deeply ingrained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This therapy uses suction cups directly on the skin to promote circulation and relieve muscle tension.
BENEFITS
Cupping promotes increased blood circulation, which offers many benefits:
- Increased elasticity in the face
- Sculpts, tones, and firms sagging skin reducing the appearance of discoloration and fine lines
- Reduces puffiness and the appearance of dark circles
- Rejuvenates the look of dry, dehydrated, and devitalized skin
- Relaxes facial tension
DIRECTIONS
- Always prep the skin with plenty of serum in order to help the cups glide smoothly over the skin
- Use a mirror so you can see where you are directing the cups and how much suction you are using
- Always keep the cups moving, do not let the cups sit on the skin as this can cause slight temporary bruising/redness
- Start with a light amount of suction, the cups are most effective with light suction so they can glide smoothly
Gua sha is an ancient Chinese practice that is believed to promote the flow of "chi", or energy, through the skin. The technique involves gently rubbing the gua sha over the neck and face in an upward sweeping motion.
Theoretically, the pressure applied to the skin via the gua sha tool causes a level of friction that improves circulation and increases blood flow to the area, says Raman Madan, MD, a board certified dermatologist at Huntington Hospital in New York City. The belief is that increased blood flow can provide many benefits to the skin, such as increased collagen production, as well as reduced puffiness, hyperpigmentation, and muscle tension.
This massage technique moves lymphatic fluids and breaks down tension in muscles. That means improved blood flow and less puffiness. The increase in circulation is said to up hydration for that coveted youthful glow, and it even helps the skin to naturally purge blemish-causing dirt and oils.
Made from black obsidian stone, this Hermit's Gua Sha tool helps to reduce puffiness, relieve facial tension, and give you toned and radiant skin.
