Face Yoga for Glowing Skin

Yoga asanas are proven to increase your glow, making you look younger. This article enlists 5 important facial yoga to make your skin radiate youth.

Skin is one of the most important parts of our body and it is most sensitive too. Our first layer of defence to protect our inner organs is skin. Facial skin is more sensitive to climate and environment change. It is one of the stress indicators, due to which you can look more than your age. Yoga is good for mental stress buster as well as has wonderful effects on your skin. The skin gets spoiled due to sun, dust, pollution and starts looking lifeless and premature wrinkles start to appear. That is why it is important that we take special care of our facial skin so that with time our skin looks young and glowing.

  1. Lift your Eyebrows

Place the index finger of each hand, half-inch above the eyebrows. Attempt to lift the eyebrows upward, while pressing them downward with your fingers. Repeat this 10-12 times, a day.

 

Benefits

Since our forehead is the first place for the appearance of wrinkles, you can tone those muscles, release tension and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by performing this specific exercise. 

  1. Stretching the Eyelids

Look upwards and raise your eyebrows at the same time. Then gently close your eyelids, while still looking up.

Benefits

Since our eyelids have the tendency to droop with age, this stretching exercise can help keep them firm.

  1. Chant 'Om' with a Smile

Chanting 'Om' calms the mind and relaxes the face muscles. This yogic exercise is the easiest of all of the facial yoga poses. Close your eyes and smile slightly, whilst visualising the point between your eyebrows, as a balancing locus. As most people frown unconsciously, repeated grimaces of the same can form wrinkles.

Benefit

This pose will help offset those lines and give the skin a glow from within.

  1. Yogic Breathing Exercises

Facial yoga is incomplete without yogic breathing exercise. Respiratory changes affect the skin and body, as well as our moods. For instance, shallow breathing pales the complexion. Nowadays, stress continuously disrupts the natural breathing pattern, depleting Prana, the life-giving force. 

Benefit

To restore this the balance, we recommend deep breathing exercises including abdominal breathing and alternate nostril breathing.

 Blow and Breathe

Blow your cheeks up like balloon while filling in air. Hold for a second and then release slowly through mouth. Repeat 10 to 15 times. This will increase blood circulation on face and cheeks.

Try relaxing your mind and that will reflect on your face instantly. The one who is positive and smiles from within, doesn’t need much of decoration on the forefront to look good and young. Apart from yoga, stay optimistic and lead a healthy lifestyle.
