Cupping Therapy with Mira Dynamics

This post is long overdue. The kind people at Mira Dynamics sent me a set of Mira massage cups to try months ago.

I read this great review on Rouge Beauty and I was very keen to try cupping massage in efforts to combat cellulite and tightening sagging skin.

Seems easy enough?!

Then I went for a back operation and worries about cellulite took a back seat. I packed the cups away. One night I was on Twitter and noticed a tweet by Mira about pain relief using their massage cups. I was having a particularly bad day and I was in pain. On Mira Dynamics’s website I found instructions on how to use the cups for treating sciatica and muscle spasms. I immediately got my cups and some massage oil… it helped! The great thing about these cups is that I could use it for self massage. And it gave me great relief. It still does.

As soon as I feel up to it, these cups will start tackling those wobbly bits.

Something that has also grabbed my attention was that Mira also has a cupping set for the face which is said to aid with anti-aging, broken capillaries, improving skin tone and texture and even cleaning pores. This is completely new to me. But I received a newsletter from a spa recently and saw that this is a treatment that they provide. Now you can do this at home too.

The Mira Dynamic Body Cupping Set is available HERE and retails for R249.

My Bright Skin Morning Routine

Last year I received a gorgeous parcel from Human+Kind and I couldn’t wait to dig in. You can have a look at my brand focus post HERE.

Here’s a quick recap if you don’t know the brand:

Human+Kind gives us multi-tasking, no-nasties products for skin and hair and this award winning Irish brand is available at Clicks, Wellness Warehouse and selected Woolworths and Stuttafords stores.

My two favourite facial products are the All-in-One Wash Off Facial Cleanser and the Age Spot Remover Skin Lightening Cream.

I have been using these two products every morning for the past few months and I couldn’t be happier. My skin looked beautifully bright and glowing from the first use and the longer I used them, the brighter my skin became. Read a little more on both of these beauties below.

Human+Kind All-in-One Wash Off Facial Cleanser

This rich, petro-chemical free cleanser is extremely gentle yet effective. It is a luxurious cream cleanser that is 98.5% natural and the active ingredients include organic sunflower oil, organic jojoba oil, cold pressed wheat germ oil, natural vitamin E and arnica oil. My skin is left feeling clean, soft and clear. My sensitive skin loves it. This is definitely my go-to morning cleanser. And yes, you have to wash your face in the morning. Sweat and oil, people. Wash your face. I digress… I tried this cleanser a couple of times in the evening and it is very effective at removing make-up as well. I finished my tube about a week ago and promptly repurchased it. And my fellow beauty bloggers will know exactly what a repurchase means… it’s true love. A 100ml tube of cleanser retails for between R125 and R150. With the cleanser you also receive a deep cleansing cloth. It is the softest face cloth that I have ever felt and I love it. These cloths are also sold separately in packs of two and my gran has made me promise to get her a pack for her birthday.

Human+Kind Age Spot Remover Skin Lightening Cream

This moisturiser is been specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of age spots, freckles, discolorations and dark blemishes of the skin. It is safe to use twice a day and is suitable for all skin types and tones. I have been using it every morning since receiving it last year, as well as most nights. I am down to my last drop and it is sad indeed. It lasted very well. It leaves my skin feeling cared for and nourished. It absorbs very well and my skin is left feeling comfortable and looking radiant. The tone of my skin has definitely evened out since I started using it and if you are looking for a product to brighten your complexion, this is it. The only reason I haven’t rushed to the shops to repurchase just yet, is because I have a drawer full of moisturisers to work through (which includes another by Human+Kind) and I have to give them all a fair chance. In saying that, there is a very good chance that my next Clicks rewards voucher may go towards another tube. It really is that good. And by good, I mean great. A tube will set you back between R200 and R240.

I have to make a special mention here… I have been mixing it up a bit and alternating between my Foreo Luna (you can read my review HERE) and a konjac sponge when doing morning cleanse. I have been dying to try a konjac sponge for ages and the people from Mira Dynamics were kind enough to send me one to try.

I’ve really been enjoying it. The sponge is super soft and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. It works very well with the Human+Kind cleanser.
