This book explains the modern massage version of cupping therapy, an ancient alternative treatment to reduce pain and inflammation and improve blood flow.

Treat yourself to the anti-aging benefits of facial cupping without the expense of a professional cosmetic procedure. Facial cupping is a safe, non-invasive and easy practice designed to highlight cheekbones, define the jawline, tighten skin and target those dreaded drooping jowls. In this book you'll find more than 60 step-by step photos and clear easy-to-follow directions. You will learn how to prepare your skin, which equipment and products to use and all the proper procedures for best results. Facial cupping increases circulation while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. Increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to alleviate the signs of stress and inflammation while giving the face a youthful glow. Facial cupping has become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in Hollywood for celebs prepping for the red carpet. But facial cupping isn't new. In fact, it has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Facial cupping is similar to body cupping, as both increase circulation, relieve tension and help to defend the body against infections. While body cupping might leave a mark on the skin, facial cupping uses smaller soft silicone cups made for even the most sensitive skin which, when administered properly, will not leave a mark. Author Shannon Gilmartin is a cupping expert with decades of experience teaching and administering the treatment. With Shannon's expertise, you'll quickly master this age-old practice and skip expensive sessions with a dermatologist or esthetician.
