It’s back-to-school season! Whether you’ve already been using your CelluBlue this summer or you’ve just received yours, we’re sharing some tips and a sample weekly programme to help you organise your massage routine at a steady pace, and stick with it! The effects of a massage routine vary from person to person.
Organising your routine with the cup
Commitment is key: the CelluBlue cup can be used every day, or at least every other day, depending on how well your skin tolerates it. This routine is made possible by the very concept behind the cup, which lifts the skin using suction to replicate the pinch-and-roll technique, a classic massage method. Follow the instructions, and if your skin marks or becomes sensitive, space out your sessions.
Results vary from person to person. Here’s a simple massage programme to keep you on track, as an example to adapt to your own pace and areas. You can also read more about circulation and drainage on our blog. Don’t forget to check out our Wonder Body Guide, which combines a complete, accessible fitness programme with the CelluBlue to help you work on your figure!
How long should you massage with the CelluBlue cup?
How long to massage for is a question that comes up a lot. In the sample programme below, each massage lasts 5 minutes per area. This gives you a simple guide for structuring a session without dragging it out unnecessarily.
Always adjust the duration to how well your skin tolerates it and follow the instructions for your cup. If an area feels sensitive, it’s better to shorten the session or space sessions out rather than keep going.
CelluBlue cup: a sample programme for your daily massages
Remember to use your massage oil, and take a cold shower after each session if you enjoy the feeling. In this example, each massage on each area lasts 5 minutes.
- Monday: a session on the thighs and buttocks.
- Tuesday: a session on the stomach and hips. To help you keep up the routine, see also why use your CelluBlue every day.
- Wednesday: repeat the thighs-and-buttocks session.
- Thursday: repeat the stomach-and-hips session.
- Friday: save this day for a more targeted, personalised session, such as the arms, calves and so on.
- Saturday: take a break!
- Sunday: use this day to treat yourself to a homemade skincare treatment. It could be a scrub, an exfoliant, a mask or simply a cream made from natural ingredients. You’ll find plenty of easy recipes to try here, here or here!

Sticking with your routine over time
A massage routine is easier to stick with when it’s simple and repeatable. Start by using the cup correctly, then check what you can realistically keep up during your week.
It’s better to keep the same method for several days in a row than to keep trying different things: you’ll find it easier to see how your skin reacts.
How do you use the CelluBlue cup day to day?
To fit the cup into your week, start by using it correctly as described in the instructions: the cup lifts the skin using suction to support a massage movement. Choose a set time, for example after your shower, so that your session becomes second nature.
Prepare your skin with a massage oil, then massage each area for the length of time given in the sample programme. If you’re unsure which pace to choose, try just one for a few days before changing: you’ll find it easier to see what you can realistically keep up.
Limitations of the evidence
The NCCIH (NIH) describes research on cupping as generally of low quality, with insufficient evidence for many uses. This general information is not a trial of the CelluBlue device, nor is it proof that it gets rid of cellulite.
Frequently asked questions
Can you use the CelluBlue cup on your stomach?
Yes, the stomach is one of the areas in the sample programme, as long as this is in line with your cup’s instructions and your skin tolerates it. Massage gently and shorten the session if the area feels sensitive. If you’re unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Does the CelluBlue cup get rid of cellulite?
No programme can make cellulite disappear or ensure a change within a set timeframe. The cup accompanies a massage movement, and any visible effects can vary from person to person. This article aims to help you organise a regular routine that you can stick to.
