🌟Sculpting + Toning Facial Cupping Set-Province Apothecary

Discover the benefits of this beauty tool must-have, known to improve the skin's radiance while naturally sculpting and toning.

Traditionally, cupping has been used in China as a healing modality for thousands of years dating back to the Han Dynasty.

The facial cupping set - made of high quality silicone - gently pulls the skin away from deeper layers of fascia, smoothes wrinkles and revitalizes the look of skin.

How to Use

• Scan the QR on your product package for a quick how-to tutorial and additional info
• Always prep the skin with plenty of serum in order to help the cups glide smoothly over the skin
• Wash the cups when you remove it from the packaging
• Always use a mirror so you can see where you are directing the cups and how much suction you are using
• Always keep the cups moving, do not let the cups sit on the skin as this can cause slight temporary bruising/redness
• Use a light amount of suction, the cups are most effective with light suction so they can glide smoothly. *Bruising can be avoided by keeping the cups moving at all times and using light pressure. The goal is not to bruise your skin.
• Watch our how-to video for our full Facial Cupping Ritual.
• Wash your facial cups after each use with warm water and natural soap. Place on a cloth to air dry.

How Facial Cupping Works

Using the silicone cups on your face creates a gentle suction effect. This suction pulls blood and nutrients from the deepest layers of the skin, to the surface. This stimulates your skin and leaves you with a refreshed glow. This gentle suction also helps to drain lymph nodes and increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This microtrauma helps to encourage your body’s healing response sending platelets, white blood cells, and other healing and inflammatory responses to affected areas. This is great for areas with more stagnation like fine lines, uneven tone and dullness.

WHEN TO USE FACIAL CUPS

We suggest using our facial cups once a day, either in the morning or at night, when you have time in your routine. If you have sensitive skin, use the cups 1-2 a week only, as not to over stimulate the skin. Watch our how-to video for our full Facial Cupping Ritual.

A gentle exfoliator for your face and body, she enhances every cleansing ritual with an invigorating massage while leaving your skin incredibly smooth and supple. Our agave fiber comes from the rapidly renewable, wild-grown agave plant and only takes one use to transform into a softer, tightly knit cloth. She is completely biodegradable, free from harmful synthetics, mold-resistant, naturally antibacterial, and makes even the most sensitive skin happy — all reasons why Agave Leaf Cleansing Cloth is a must-have if you are seeking a holistic and sustainable cleansing cloth.

The perfect plastic-free, zero-waste alternative to popular facial brushes and other cleansing devices (as well as one-time-use facial wipes). 100% pure agave fiber. Harvested, handspun and handwoven by a women's fair trade co-op in Mexico.

*For best results before first time use, place Agave Leaf Cleansing Cloth in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to transform the fibers into a tightly knit, soft cloth, releasing its gentle exfoliating properties.

TIP: Based on our experience, a single cloth will last approximately 3-5 months when used during daily cleansing rituals. It can then be repurposed as a house cleaning cloth.

*Bonus Tip: Use the Agave Leaf with the seedbloom body gel from the June Box.
