The ritual
Seven minutes, three evenings a week.
The cupping ritual is small on purpose. Two oils, two silicone cups, and the same calm motion repeated until the skin remembers it. Below: the philosophy, the method, the formula, and the team behind the bottle.
The philosophy
Three principles we never break.
The whole ritual rests on these. Skip them and the oils still smell beautiful — but the skin won’t feel the difference after a few weeks.
Press, not rub.
Warm the oil between your palms before it touches skin. Friction tires the dermis; warmth wakes it.
Glide, not stick.
A cupping cup should always be moving. Held still it bruises; gliding it lifts and circulates.
Repeat, not occasion.
Three short evenings beat one long Sunday. The skin remembers rhythm more than it remembers intensity.
The method
Seven minutes,
at least three evenings a week.
01Warm.
Two pumps of oil into clean palms. Warm between the hands for five seconds.
02Apply the Cup.
Press the top of the cup and place it on the desired area to create suction. Then gently massage using smooth, gliding motions. For the neck, use gentle downward strokes toward the lymphatic drainage points above the collarbone. Elsewhere, always glide upward toward the heart.
03After cupping.
The oil is leave-on care — no need to rinse it off. Some redness or mild bruising may appear after treatment. This is a normal part of the cupping process and should disappear within a few days. It is temporary and nothing to worry about.
The formula
Cold-pressed plants, nothing on top.
A grape seed base with castor, argan, and jojoba oils, tocopherol (vitamin E), and a small breath of essential oils. The face oil adds plant-based collagen. No silicones, parabens, or fragrance fillers.
Warm
Two pumps in clean palms. Press, don’t rub, until the oil warms.
Cup
Glide the silicone cup in slow upward strokes toward the heart, seven minutes per area. For the neck, use gentle downward strokes toward the lymphatic drainage points above the collarbone.
Rest
No rinsing needed — the caring oil absorbs and keeps working. Done late in the day, the ritual helps the body release toxins, which many find supports a deeper sleep. Repeat at least three evenings a week.
From the studio
Built around a quiet ritual.
Han & Elite began with a small team blending oils for friends asking what they used in the evenings. The same team still formulates, mixes, and pours every order in small batches today.
We make every bottle in-house. Small batches, hand-poured, dated. Nothing leaves our hands until it smells the way we want our own bathrooms to smell.
Start the ritual
The Premium Set bundles everything you need for day one. Want only the oil? The face and body bottles work on their own — the cups are sold separately.
Ritual notes
What people ask before they commit.
Most of our customers feel the skin firmer within ten days. The visible difference — smoother texture, less dimpling — lands around the six-week mark, at three evenings a week.
The small cup is for face, neck, and the soft skin behind the knees. The large cup is for thighs, glutes, abdomen, and arms. The Premium Set includes both.
Not when the cup is moving. Static cupping (the kind that leaves the dark circles) is a different therapy. Ours glides.
Yes. The base is cold-pressed grape seed — one of the lowest-comedogenic oils in skincare. The added botanicals are present in small, soothing concentrations.
The 100 ml face oil lasts roughly ten weeks at three evenings a week. The 200 ml body oil lasts seven to eight weeks for a full leg-and-glute ritual.
