In this case, redness and bruising almost always appear on the skin. To obtain a good and lasting result, cupping massage must be done regularly. Please note that not all people can perform massage with cosmetic or medical cups. Avoid this procedure if you have problems with blood vessels, skin diseases, cancer and infectious diseases, skin wounds and tuberculosis.

Cupping facial massage

Let's start with the fact that massage jars come in different diameters. Moreover, the intensity of the effect on the skin and the degree of its tension directly depend on this indicator. Therefore, if you have very sensitive skin, you should choose jars of the smallest diameter.

Before performing a massage, disinfect the jars by applying a disinfectant solution to them using a napkin. Then lubricate the skin on your face and neck with oil. Try not to skimp on oil. It is better to take not massage oil, but vegetable oil, for example, flaxseed. It will ensure smooth glide over the skin.

Start massaging the skin from the neck area. At the same time, move from the collarbones up to the chin, following the directions of the massage lines. After this, move to the lower face area, treat the cheeks and nose. Finish the massage in the forehead area. During the procedure, change the size of the jars and adjust the force of impact on the skin. Use the smallest size to work on the nasolabial triangle and eye area. For the forehead, take large jars.

A massage session should not last longer than ten minutes. At the same time, in the eye area, try not to move the cans, but apply them to the skin. This way you can avoid bruising on delicate skin. Remember to lightly hold the skin with your other hand during the massage so that it does not stretch too much. It is better to massage with cups in the evening. Then in the morning you will notice an improvement in her condition.

Cupping abdominal massage

With the help of miraculous jars, you can massage other parts of the body, for example, the stomach. Before the session, be sure to cleanse your abdominal skin with a scrub and warm it with a warm bath or shower. To warm up, you can also do a few exercises on the abdominal muscles, for example, pump your abs. Then apply a generous amount massage oil or gel so that the jars glide effortlessly over the skin. Suction the jar tightly to the skin so that it grips about one and a half centimeters.

Perform movements smoothly. Start moving from the center of the abdomen to its periphery. Make spiral or zig-zag movements. The first massage session should last approximately five minutes. Then increase the time gradually to twenty minutes.

If you want to reduce the impact, then loosen the vacuum. Don't be alarmed if you notice bruises after your first massage. Until the skin is accustomed to such effects, they are considered a normal and natural phenomenon. Over time, your skin will adapt to this type of exposure and bruising will stop appearing.

After completing the massage, rub an anti-cellulite cream into the skin and warm the abdominal area. To relax, you can drink a cup of hot tea. With regular cupping massage sessions, additional physical activity, as well as following a diet and sufficient water, you will notice a positive effect after several procedures.
