Achieving problem-free, naturally radiant, clear skin is a process that is slowly developed from the inside out. It demands patience as there can be no short-cuts to beautiful skin! But sadly, this truth is largely overlooked as we get addicted to expensive beauty products and treatments. If you eat right as a hobby and not a compulsion, and do face yoga as part of self-discipline, it can sort out many skin woes and help you get clear, radiant skin naturally.

FACE YOGA FOR HEALTHY SKIN

FACE YOGA HELPS DRAW FRESHLY OXYGENATED BLOOD TO FACIAL SKIN CELLS AND MUSCLES, GIVING A NATURAL DETOX TO SKIN

If you have been relying on pots of cosmetic tints to give your

cheeks that rosy glow, it’s time to switch to face yoga! Lack of oxygen in various areas of your face can result in dull, lifeless skin.

What face yoga does is it draws freshly oxygenated blood to your facial skin cells and muscle, giving a natural detox to your skin. It also brings down cortisol levels, thus imparting a fresh, healthy glow while combating acne, breakouts and blemishes. It also helps reduce bloating, thus naturally enhancing your features. Some face yoga poses that can help give you radiant skin are balloon pose and

puffed cheeks pose.

THE RIGHT DIET

Acne and pigmentati­on is a common problem today. These skin disorders are worsened by hormonal imbalance, chronic stress, toxins in the body and overuse of cosmetic products. An unhealthy gut can also lead to break-outs and blemishes. So, fixing your digestive health goes a long way in sorting out your skin health.

Along with yoga, have lots of water. It ensures that nutrients and oxygen reach every single cell in your face and body, while getting rid of toxins and other wastes. So, make sure to have at least six to eight glasses of water every day. Avoid refined foods, dairy products, sugary foods and beverages. Include vegetables like broccoli, spinach, kale, peppers, zucchini, cauliflowe­r, carrots, beets in your diet. Fruit,

whole grains and starchy vegetables, healthy fats, plantbased dairy alternativ­es, highqualit­y protein, antiinflam­matory herbs should be given preference­s.
