Quick answer
Use the Nurse Jamie UpLift N’ Glow Cups in a gentle upward motion after cleansing to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and help define your jawline and cheekbones.
Why facial cups work for sculpting
Facial cupping uses suction to lift and separate facial tissues, stimulating circulation and lymphatic flow. This helps reduce fluid retention (puffiness) and can temporarily enhance facial contours. The technique is safe for most skin types when done correctly, but avoid using on broken or irritated skin.
Key trade-off: suction intensity
The silicone cups allow you to control suction by squeezing the bulb. Less suction is better for beginners or sensitive areas (like under the eyes). Too much suction can cause bruising or redness. Always start light and increase only as comfortable.
Step-by-step guide to using the UpLift N’ Glow Cups
- Step 1: Prep your skin: Cleanse your face and apply a generous layer of facial oil or serum. The cups glide best on a lubricated surface, preventing tugging or discomfort. A common mistake is using the cups on dry skin, which can cause friction and irritation. Always use a slip agent.
- Step 2: Start on the neck and jawline: Squeeze the cup to release air, place it on the side of your neck (just below the jaw), and release to create suction. Glide upward toward the ear in slow, long strokes. Repeat 3-5 times on each side. Avoid pulling the cup sideways or downward – always move toward the lymph nodes (toward the ears and collarbone).
- Step 3: Work on the cheeks and cheekbones: Place the cup on your cheek near the nose, then glide outward and slightly upward toward the temple. Keep the suction light – you want a gentle lift, not a pinch. Repeat 3-5 times per cheek. If you feel a sharp pinch, release the cup and reapply with less suction. The goal is a comfortable vacuum, not a hard pull.
- Step 4: Define the forehead and brow: Place the cup at the center of your forehead and glide outward toward the hairline. Then move from between the brows upward toward the hairline. Use short, gentle strokes to help smooth the forehead. Do not use the cup directly over the eyes or on the eyelids – keep it on the bony brow and forehead area only.
- Step 5: Finish with a cool rinse and moisturizer: After cupping, rinse your face with cool water to close pores and apply your regular moisturizer or a hydrating mask. Your skin may appear flushed – that’s normal and temporary. If redness persists longer than 30 minutes, reduce suction next time. Bruising indicates too much pressure – take a break for a few days.
