Cupping is believed to stimulate blood flow, reduce cellulite, and relieve pain. However, one major drawback is that it can leave behind large, circular bruises – as seen on Kaley's back in her snap.
Kaley is a huge advocate for cupping and has revealed her bruised skin following the procedure on several occasions.
