It is strongly recommended to always use a facial oil, serum, or a rich cream as a gliding agent when performing the vacuum massage with the CHUDESNIK cups. The product creates a necessary lubricating layer between the silicone cup and your skin, allowing it to glide smoothly along the facial massage lines. Without this layer, the silicone will create too much friction, which can drag, pull, and irritate the skin, potentially causing redness, sensitivity, or even micro-tears in the skin's surface.
The vacuum effect itself is gentle, but the mechanical action of moving the cup across dry skin negates the benefits and introduces risk. The massage is designed to work with your skincare, helping to spread the product evenly and stimulate microcirculation for a brighter look. After cleansing with the provided brush, apply your chosen oil or serum, then proceed with the cup massage. Following the massage, you can continue with the rest of your routine (e.g., additional serum or cream). Keeping the cups clean and stored dry after each use will maintain their flexibility and hygiene.
