The world is gaga over the countless benefits of yoga. It keeps you fit internally as well as externally. But did you know it can keep you looking beautiful naturally? Yoga has multiple beauty benefits. Here are a few of them.

Keeps acne at bay     

Acne is caused when the pores get blocked due to excess sebum, dirt and other impurities. In order to keep these at bay, you need proper blood circulation and flush out toxins from your system. This helps in keeping your skin healthy and free from acne. There are several yoga poses which can help you do this. For example, the Bow Pose or Dhanurasana helps release toxins from the body by focusing on deep breathing. Here are a few more poses to keep your skin acne-free.

Gives glowing skin

Creams and make-up can add that touch of glow on your skin in a superficial manner. But with yoga you can get an inner glow naturally. Yoga asanas focus on your breathing and improving the oxygen supply in your body. This helps keep the skin glowing as it is free from impurities. Asanas such as Kapalbhati or the Yogic Facial Massage are extremely beneficial. Here are more asanas you could try for glowing skin.

Prevents hair loss

If you’ve started to see more hair strands on your brush than usual, it is time to start practising yoga. Believe it or not, it helps improve blood circulation to the scalp which in turn stimulates hair follicles resulting in hair growth. Balayam which means exercise for the hair is one of the poses you could try. The best part is, you can do it anywhere. Here’s how to do the pose with other asanas to beat hair loss.

Helps get rid of dark circles

Dark circles are a result of several factors including lack of oxygen to the under-eye region. The skin is very delicate in this area and it does not have any oil glands so it is essential to keep it healthy. A simple face yoga exercise called ‘Circle the Eyes’ can help get rid of dark circles by gently stimulating the area with the help of your fingers. Here’s how to do this pose.

Is an anti-ageing remedy

Fine lines, wrinkles are common as we age but if you want to prolong their appearance, yoga can help. Our face has 57 facial muscles which need to be exercised just as we exercise our body. In the process, our skin too get tightened which prevents signs of ageing. Face Yoga expert Danielle Collins shares yoga poses to keep your face fit. -  thehealthsite
