Cupping is one of those trends that we cannot help but wonder -- DOES IT REALLY WORK??  And ... WHY would someone WANT TO DO THIS?!!  But for some reason, celebs swear by it -- and so do many Olympic athletes.  BUT on YOUR FACE?!!  WOULD YOU DARE?!!

Here's what WebMD says about CUPPING...

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

BUT ON YOUR FACE??? YUP.  :)

When I first heard about FACIAL CUPPING, I was horrified.  But then I was like, "I have GOT TO TRY THIS."  I was told it DID NOT leave any marks -- but it DID LEAVE YOU looking and feeling refreshed - YOUNGER.  Hook, line and sinker.  Anything to de-puffify (I realize this is NOT a real word...) my face and smooth out those fine lines and ever-deepening wrinkles. (Getting older is awesome.)  Plus, no needles involved.  For me, testing out this trend was a no-brainer.

My friend and facialist, Kat Rudu has mastered the facial cupping technique.  She invited me to her Venice, CA studio for a session...Little did I know she was about to CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR ME!  She does LIP CUPPING too!!  WHAT?!!  It's all just too much.  I LOVE LIP CUPPING.  LOVE it.  Soon, Kat will be selling her mini lip cupping kits, and you better believe that I will be FIRST IN LINE. 

Watch Kat work her magic on my lips.  And this was only a few-minute session!  Imagine after 20 minutes!!!  I cannot.  I cannot.  AHHHHH!!!

Here's our LIVE FACIAL CUPPING SESSION!  She explains how facial cupping works, and all of the amazing benefits!  BTW, come over to my FB page for some of my LIVE SESSIONS @AbbieLive!  Or you can always find my vids on YouTube here! xoxo
