Cupping: Your all-round tool for beauty and health
Cupping makes your face look beautiful, improves your complexion and makes wrinkles disappear. If you’ve read my book or attended my course, you’re almost certainly likely to have one or more cupping glasses at home. They’re inexpensive and truly versatile for your daily beauty routine.
Which cupping sets are the right ones?
It depends on what you’re planning to do. The cupping cup I use most often has a diameter of 3 cm. It’s suitable for almost all applications on the body and face. Depending on your height and the area you’re treating, it might be worth getting a set.
Video guide: How to use cupping glasses correctly
A cupping glass works by creating a vacuum. You can place it on specific points or glide it over the skin with oil. Here’s an exclusive excerpt from my video course:
6 ways in which cupping can improve your wellbeing
1. Anti-ageing for the face: The massage boosts your metabolism. Your cells produce more collagen and elastin. This improves skin elasticity, detoxifies the tissue and acts as a natural lymphatic drainage treatment to reduce swelling.
2. Help with cellulite: After showering, massage warm fabric from the bottom upwards (towards the pelvis). Tip: Coffee grounds mixed with oil have an additional stimulating and smoothing effect.
3. Quick relief for muscle problems: Whether it’s sore muscles or tension – cupping stimulates blood flow to the tissues and significantly speeds up healing. Simply apply some oil to the area and move the glass back and forth until the skin feels warm and turns red.
4. Relieving neck tension: Cupping therapy on the neck is worth its weight in gold for headaches or when doing sedentary work. It provides immediate, noticeable relief by relaxing the muscles.
5. Warming up a hypothermic patient: Cold feet or period pain? An intensive cupping massage on the bottom stimulates blood circulation in the deeper layers and supports kidney function. It grounds and calms you before you go to sleep.
6. Scar treatment: Gently glide your fingers over scarred tissue to make it softer and more supple in the long term.
The ideal oil for your massage
For the face, I recommend almond or coconut oil. Rosemary oil works wonders on the body, as it also warms the skin and stimulates blood circulation.

Thank you Christina? for the update in the online course! It's just perfect for me?.....just great?
Dear Janet,
That makes me happy! ? I wish you lots of fun with the new exercises.

My current problem area is the bags under my eyes, so I will deal with these first. Is the yellow Bella Bambi suitable for this or would you recommend the blue glass cupping glasses?
Thank you very much, Nadine
Dear Nadine,
Yes, the yellow Bella Bambi works really well. It's even better for bags under the eyes than the blue glass cupper, which is more for wrinkles, and for lymphatic problems it's quite good if the diameter is slightly larger, so the yellow Bambi is ideal.
LG, Christina
Thank you so much for your quick answers, that really helped me and helped me make a decision! All the best :*
You're welcome 🙂 Much love!
Dear Christina,
My partner "got" a torn muscle fibre in his calf while skiing this week 🙁 Can I cup the calf with the Bambi?
Thank you in advance and best regards from Vienna!

Dear Doris,
This needs to be looked at by an expert, it's beyond my expertise.
My son (footballer) always cupped his injuries, but if something is "hot", it should definitely not be cupped.
Kind regards,
Christina
Dear Christina, thank you for the information! Kind regards Doris
