15. Face Cupping: The Inside-Out Massage for Great Skin

In this episode, Emily discusses face cupping, a treatment that she frequently uses in her professional treatments and on her own skin. She explains that face cupping is an inverted facial massage that utilizes cups to create a vacuum suction on the skin, pulling the tissue upwards. This modality helps increase blood flow, stimulate lymphatic movement, and promote collagen and elastin production. Emily also provides information on who should avoid face cupping and the benefits of the practice. She shares tips on how to do face cupping, including using facial oil and different cupping techniques. Lastly, she discusses cupping marks and suggests how to fade them faster.
