Why Can't You Shower After Cupping?

Hot showers, saunas, hot tubs and strong air conditioning
After cupping, your skin will be more sensitive to temperature in the areas where the cups were placed. Give your skin time to recover. If possible, shower with filtered water to avoid reintroducing unnecessary chemicals onto your skin.

How long after cupping can I shower?

Avoid hot temperatures (hot shower, sauna, hot tub) 4-6 hours after cupping as the therapy opens your pores and your skin may be more sensitive to temperature.
