This happened a couple of days ago. My boyfriend and I were at the store this weekend and saw cupping therapy devices, and he wanted to get them to try them out.

We used them on our backs and the rest of our bodies (I think they helped?) when he had the great idea to cup his forehead and mine. I (wrongly) assumed that this would last 24 hours, max. We were both sorely mistaken.

Now, he and I have been sporting huge red circular hickeys on our foreheads for almost 3 days now. His is worse (thankfully), but mine isn’t much better. I put foundation on both of our spots, but it still looks pretty rough lol.

My coworkers think it’s hilarious (it is). My boyfriend has an interview coming up soon, too. Overall, I don’t recommend cupping your forehead. The rest of the circles disappeared from our bodies within 24 hours though. Haha

TL; DR: My boyfriend and I have the wonderful idea to use cupping techniques on our foreheads.
