Cupping isn’t just a trend – it’s a traditional technique that’s now backed by science and used to support skin rejuvenation, relaxation, and lymphatic drainage. This gentle, non-invasive method stimulates the skin from within. In this blog, you’ll discover exactly what face cupping is, what it does for your skin, and how to get started with our Sculpt & Glow Cupping Kit.

What is cupping?

Cupping is a manual stimulation technique that uses glass cups to create a vacuum on the skin. This controlled suction activates microcirculation, stimulates the lymphatic system, and supports the natural production of collagen and elastin. The method is completely non-invasive and works from within—no injections, devices or harsh ingredients involved. The result is both visible and tangible: a natural lift, improved elasticity, and a healthy glow.

What does cupping do for your skin?

The effects of face cupping are both mechanical and physiological:

Microcirculation is stimulated – improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.
Lymphatic drainage is activated – helping to reduce fluid retention and flush out toxins.
Fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) are triggered – supporting firmer, more elastic skin.
Muscle and tissue tension is released – especially in areas like the jaw, forehead or facial muscles affected by stress.

Clinical observations and dermatological studies confirm that regular, gentle cupping massage can improve overall skin condition and visibly slow down signs of ageing.

The Sculpt & Glow Cupping Kit:

For safe, targeted and effective facial cupping at home, we developed the Sculpt & Glow Cupping Kit. This complete set includes:

Body Oil – 100 ml
Facial Essential Oil Serum – 15 ml
3 medical-grade glass contour cups:
- S (Small): for delicate areas around the eyes and mouth
- M (Medium): for face, neck and décolleté
- L (Large): for larger body zones like thighs and abdomen

The glass cups are made from medical-grade borosilicate glass – a durable and hygienic material that’s resistant to temperature changes and acids, making it ideal for regular and safe use.

Give your skincare routine a boost with cupping for a lifted, depuffed, and radiant complexion.

How to use cupping the right way

Thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply enough oil to allow the cups to glide smoothly

Choose the appropriate cup depending on the area you’re treating (see cup sizes above).
Create suction by gently squeezing the cup and placing it on the skin.
Move the cup in slow, upward motions from the centre of the face outward — always towards the lymphatic drainage zones.
Use 2 to 3 times per week, for 5 to 10 minutes per session.

For optimal results, combine this technique with your existing Likami skincare routine.

Who is face cupping for?

Face cupping is suitable for most skin types, and especially helpful if you’re dealing with:

Dull or tired-looking skin
Puffiness around the eyes or face
Early signs of skin ageing
Jaw or forehead tension
Loss of skin firmness or elasticity

If you have active acne, rosacea or couperose, we recommend consulting your skincare professional before use.

**More than a trend: cupping as part of an intelligent skincare routine**

Face cupping offers more than just a temporary glow. By combining mechanical stimulation with the active ingredients in the oils you use, you work on a deeper level of the skin—creating a visible and long-lasting impact on skin quality.

Likami’s approach brings together scientifically backed ingredients and carefully developed tools for conscious, holistic care. Our Sculpt & Glow Cupping Kit helps boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and improve skin elasticity—all in a 100% natural way.
