This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I’m diving into a fascinating and practical conversation with Sakina Di Pace, a licensed acupuncturist and facial cupping expert, about how facial cupping can naturally reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and boost circulation—all without Botox!

In this episode, we dive deep into the power of facial cupping, why it’s a game-changer for skin health, and how it fits into the bigger picture of beauty in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Plus, Sakina shares her alternative perspective on Botox and what she’s learned from helping women transition away from it.
