Jessica Alba Posted A No-Makeup Instagram Selfie During An Acupuncture Facial

This isn't the first time Jessica posted an Instagram selfie with needles: Just last week she shared her new constellation tattoo , which is based off of her kids' astrological signs.

So why exactly would someone voluntarily stick a bunch of needles in their face? Fans of acufacials (as the beauty industry calls them) claim they can do everything from boost circulation (amazing for that glow), increase collagen production (key for plumping up fine lines and wrinkles), and relax muscles giving a more lifted appearance to the face.

Acupuncture facials are trending now, but they're not new. Chinese medicine practitioners have been doing them for centuries, for all of the reasons celebrity facialists are doing them now.

If you're concerned with skin aging, but are afraid to undergo more invasive needles procedures, like Botox, an acupuncture facial is a great all-natural alternative. And if Jessica's insanely glowing no-makeup skin is any indication, it's worth a try!
