Have you ever had cupping? No?Then be sure to ask your parents: they have probably had to try this miracle cure for colds at least once. Round glass bubbles that leave rows of round bruises on the back - these are the main memories of older people about cupping therapy. It would seem that this method of treatment has long since become obsolete, and now you can’t find cups in pharmacies even with a lantern. But no! Glass jars of different colors and sizes are triumphantly marching along the shelves of the country, providing beauty and health of the skin of the face to everyone who wants it. Of course, these are not the same cups that were stuck on the back with a burning cotton rod. Cupping facial massage is performed using special glass jars connected to silicone suction cups - it is under their action that negative pressure is created on the skin, providing a healing effect. This massage (it is also called vacuum) helps to enhance lymph and blood circulation, as well as enhance the circulation of interstitial fluid. Cupping massage has become very popular due to its rapid positive effect - the face becomes younger and acquires a fresh, blooming appearance literally before your eyes.

A can of massage for the face skin

How does cupping massage help?fight the signs of skin aging? It's very simple. The negative pressure that is created when the suction cup is squeezed stimulates blood circulation and venous outflow. It is quite possible that after vacuum massage, hemorrhages may form on some areas of the skin: do not be alarmed, this is normal (do not confuse it with regular bruises due to inept handling of cups). Not all capillaries in our body are in perfect condition, some of them become inelastic and brittle over time. Those capillaries that have ruptured under the influence of cups will be replaced by new ones - healthy and actively functioning. And this means that oxygen starvation of your skin will finally end, but the restructuring of the qualitative composition of muscle tissue will begin. As a result - collagen restoration and a noticeable reduction in wrinkles, fresh and elastic skin that simply breathes health. Here are the main possibilities of facial cupping massage:

• Restoration of facial skin tone;
• Suspension of sagging muscles of the face;
• Restoration of capillaries;
• Reduction of wrinkles;
• Increase in metabolic processes;
• Beneficial effect on the work of the sebaceous glands;
• Restoration of skin color.

Cupping massage is especially effective for womenwith a double chin. Regular procedures of such massage quite quickly solve this unpleasant problem and help to gain a clear contour and a fresh complexion.

How to choose the right can for facial massage

In order for the cupping facial massage to workTo make the cupping as effective as possible, you need to choose the right cupping. Let's start with the fact that these cups come in different sizes - the larger the diameter, the more the skin is stretched and the deeper the facial muscles are processed. Most often, cups for facial massage are sold in a package of four pieces: with a diameter of fifty millimeters, thirty-three, twenty-two and eleven millimeters. The skin on the face is delicate and sensitive, and the subcutaneous tissue is much thinner than in other parts of the body, so you should be very careful about the intensity of the cupping on different parts of the face. If you handle the cups incorrectly, you can cause bruises - so the first time such a procedure is best done under the supervision of a specialist. For example, using large-diameter cups is very convenient for massage in the forehead and cheeks - creating a strong vacuum effect, you will tighten sagging muscles and smooth out shallow wrinkles. Cups with a smaller diameter should be used to massage those parts of the face where the skin is especially thin and vulnerable - the eyelid area and nasolabial triangle. Don't forget to make sure that the edges of the jars are smooth, without cracks or chips - otherwise you will seriously injure your skin. Jars should only be purchased in pharmacies, asking the seller for a quality certificate for the product.

Technique for holding a can of massage

In order to perform a facial cupping massage, in addition to the cups, you will need:

• Oil (any vegetable);
• Disinfectant;
• Napkins;
• Warm water for washing.

So, first of all, let us note that banks forThe massage surfaces should be perfectly clean, so we apply a disinfectant to them using napkins. The massage should not be done on dry skin, the face and neck must be lubricated with oil. You can choose any vegetable oil you like, fortunately, there are a huge number of them on sale. Flaxseed oil is ideal for some people - it perfectly protects and nourishes the skin of the face. And someone prefers pumpkin or corn oil, which has a pleasant smell and dense texture. The choice is yours, the main thing is to ensure that the cans glide easily over the skin. You need to start the massage from the neck, moving the can from the collarbone to the chin. Then, along the massage lines, we process the lower part of the face, slowly moving to the cheeks and nose. Do not forget to change the diameters of the cans depending on the sensitivity of the skin, adjust the strength of the vacuum suction cups. With the smallest cans, we massage the nasolabial folds and eyes. We finish the massage in the forehead area. When starting the eyelid massage, we use the autohemotherapy technique, which consists of the fact that the cups are not moved along the skin, but are applied pointwise, in accordance with the massage lines. In this way, you will avoid possible hematomas on the delicate, thin skin around the eyes. During the entire massage procedure, do not forget to support the skin of the face with the other hand, not allowing it to pull too much. The duration of one session is no more than five to ten minutes, the massage should be done no more than once or twice a week. The positive effect will be noticeable after the first procedure: if you do a cupping massage at night, then in the morning your skin will be more elastic and fresh. Many sources advise doing the cupping massage procedure in a bathhouse or sauna, when your skin is steamed and the pores are open. This recommendation is suitable for those women who have some experience in cupping facial massage. If you are a beginner, then know: the chance of causing a bruise on steamed skin is several times higher than on normal skin. And, of course, beginners should not do this massage before an important meeting or date: having to go out with a hematoma on your face will not improve your mood.
