Yoga for Acne & Glowing Skin
Common causes of skin problems
Some women start wrinkling premature, primarily due to stress or unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking, alcohol, drug addiction, and wrong food habits.
Acne is another common skin problem among women of all age groups. Sometimes,
it could occur due to hormonal changes in the body. There’s nothing to worry about because it heals itself as time passes.
Improper digestion also shows up in the form of pimples. 5 yoga tips for healthy skin
1. Practice asanas (yoga postures) which help increase blood circulation to the head
and face area. Some examples are Cobra Pose, Fish Pose, Plow Pose, Shoulder Stand, Triangle Pose, and Child Pose. These postures also increase oxygenation to the system; as such are called chest openers. All inverted postures and forward bends, which increase blood supply to the head, can help achieve clean, glowing skin.
2. For some women, acne usually gets more problematic in summer, especially with women who have an oily skin. Cooling pranayama’s (breathing exercises), such
as Sheetali and Sheetkari, can help provide a cooling effect to the skin and retain its glow. Also, learn the Jalneti technique at Art of Living Yoga and practice it every
day. It facilitates physical and emotional cleansing. The Shankh Prakshalan process taught at the program is also very effective in this regard. Make sure to do it once every six months.
