How To Get Rid Of Cupping Marks On The Face

Cupping marks can be a real bummer. If you’ve recently tried out this treatment, but you have no idea how to get rid of cupping marks on the face, you are in for a treat. We’ve selected a couple of handy tips that may come in handy.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Cupping?

If you are looking for an effective method to energize the skin muscles and tone your face, you’ve probably heard of facial cupping. This alternative treatment can help:

  • Keep the blood flowing.
  • Trigger the natural rejuvenation process
  • Soothe tension in the face muscles
  • Encourage cell repair

Based on reports, this is an effective method for getting more oxygen to transport to the skin. It can also make the connective tissues and the skin much stronger.

By encouraging cell repair, cupping can produce more collagen in the face, which is crucial for healthy-looking skin. However, it’s normal to experience bruise-like marks after treatment. Here is how you can solve that problem.

How to Get Rid of Cupping Marks on Face?

In most cases, it takes around 5 to 10 days for the cupping marks on the face to disappear on their own. But, if you can’t wait that long and you want to speed up the process, there are a few methods you can try. Here, we’ve listed some of the more practical options that may be helpful for your skin.

1.   Try Essential Oils

Anything from peppermint to arnica Montana and sunflower oil can provide a natural effect that can stimulate the blood vessels. If you choose an essential oil with blood-flow boosting properties, you can calm down the dilated blood vessels and reduce the blemishes. Immediately after applying the oil, you might feel a little tingling. This is normal.

2.   Apply Hot Compress On the Face

Based on statistical analyses, heat can help remove the stagnation in the blood and trigger a healthy blood circulation. By applying a warm towel on your face, you can soothe the redness and calm the skin. Hold the towel on the affected area for 5 min and repeat the same technique three times a day.

3.   Massage the Skin With Aloe Vera

According to the National Institutes of Health, Aloe Vera has natural soothing properties, which may prove efficient for rejuvenating the broken capillaries. Take any Aloe Vera cream and gently massage it into the cupping mark.

Conclusion

The cupping technique will rupture the capillaries and leave marks. Even though they will disappear on their own, it is possible to implement a couple of techniques that could speed up the process. But, it’s crucial to be extra careful when applying anything on the skin. Make sure you are not allergic to any of the options you decide to use.
