Glowing skin: How Yoga can help you achieve it

Fairness is not the only sign of skin beauty and health, good texture and clear glowing skin speak about a good physical and mental condition as well.

Since Yoguis know best, they have devised various movements to suit different attitudes, temperaments and needs.

What we present you here; it’s a general but still quite a beneficial Yoga formula for accomplishing a healthy glowing looking skin.

More oxygen + More blood circulation + Stress reduction= Glowing skin
  • More oxygen. The answer for this Pranayama Yoga has it. Since most of us live in urban areas, deprived from fresh clean air, Pranayama help you regulate you breath, which fills your body with plenty of oxygen to counter numerous ailments and deficiencies.
    The best is practicing Pranayama for at least 20 minutes in an open green area, preferably in the early morning to stay away from rush hours’ pollution.
  • More blood circulation. Asanas (yoga postures) help stimulate blood circulation through the entire body, some of them are specially designed to reduce tension and prevent you from stress.
    The best combination is asanas plus Pranayam to get fitness, strength, relaxation and glow for your skin. Preferably, do your asanas facing the sun (the mild rays from early morning), that provide more energy and cosmic power.
  • Stress reduction. No doubt is stress is bad your skin and for overall health. A stressed-out person is easily recognized by her face: dull, pale and lifeless… To keep stress at bay, doing yoga asanas can allow to cut off with stressors and have deeper breathing.
In addition to Yoga practice, nutrition is important for good complexion. Fruits and green vegetables taken raw and in juices, drinking lots of water and beverages as green tea, lime juice, cur, beetroot and others have proven to be beneficial for skin.
