Face cupping uses small, soft cups to create gentle suction on the skin. Unlike body cupping, the cups are never left in place: you glide them slowly over the face and neck as a massage-style ritual.
Cupping comes from traditional practice. Many people enjoy it as a relaxing way to ease tension and to feel more circulation in the skin. Scientific evidence for lasting effects on wrinkles or skin elasticity is limited, so we recommend it as a ritual rather than a treatment.
How to use cups safely
- Keep the cups moving. Never leave a cup static on the skin.
- Use a facial oil so the cup glides, and keep the suction light.
- Light, short-lived redness is normal. Stop if you feel pain, and let any mark fade fully before you cup the same area again.

Rebel Tip
You can use the rubber ball on its own to massage the facial muscles and release tension, for example after a face workout.
Avoid cupping on broken skin, sunburn, rashes or active breakouts, and check with a doctor first if you have a skin or circulation condition.
