Just applying serum for glow is not enough, science has accepted that the real secret of natural glow lies in Yogasana.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Generally we understand skincare to mean applying cream. But just think, why do we get pimples, blackness or swelling on our face? Mostly its causes are toxins (poisonous elements) accumulated inside the body, stress and poor blood circulation. Unless we fix the internal system, the external shine will not last. This is where ‘Yoga’ works like magic.

blood pressure and facial complexion
When you do yoga, especially postures in which your head is downwards (like Sarvangasana or Adho Mukha Svanasana), blood flow to your face increases. Fresh oxygen reaches the veins of the face, due to which pinkness and natural glow starts appearing on the face.

Leave of stress, entry of improvement
Our face often testifies to our stress. When we are under stress, the hormone ‘Cortisol’ increases in the body, which brings wrinkles and acne on the face. Yoga and Pranayam calm the mind, which reduces the stress level and the face feels refreshed and nourished.

Sweat is natural detox
Going to the gym and lifting weights is a different thing, but the flexibility and warmth that comes with yoga in the body opens the pores from within. When dirt comes out through sweat, your skin gets deeply cleansed. This is the reason why a special kind of glow or ‘Oz’ is often seen on the faces of people who do yoga.

Not Facebook-Insta glow, real light
The glow with serums and filters may last for a few hours, but the collagen production and hormonal balance that happens with yoga will keep you looking young and healthy for a long time. Believe me, try yoga regularly for a week, the dark circles and dryness on your face will gradually start reducing.

So next time, before splurging on your next beauty cream, take a deep breath of the cool morning air and roll out your yoga mat. Your face will not only glow, but also smile!
