Practicing yoga helps the body’s blood circulation, which is why you will find that your complexion is bright after your yoga session. It allows your body to oxygenate and eliminate toxins. Regular yoga practice helps maintain the radiance of your skin.
You have never wondered why some actresses always have such beautiful skin even after several years on the boards? Take Kareena Kapoor Khan, for example: the answer is yoga! Yoga gives not only a radiant and radiant complexion, but it also improves the elasticity of your skin by stimulating the production of collagen, the protein responsible for youth. Facial yoga is a branch of yoga that speeds up the process thus giving you a younger-looking skin!
Facial yoga or yotox can be practiced when and where you want, in traffic jams, at the office, in front of a mirror, in the toilets, … The exercises will be much more effective if you give yourself the time and if you offer yourself opportunity to be quiet. So your thoughts will only be directed towards your exercises.
The classic position of the mountain is ideal to prepare yourself: get up, your feet in parallel, arms dangling along the body, palms facing the thighs.
Press the soles of your feet as if they were anchored in the ground. Visualize how the upper part of your body lifts up from the lower body. Slowly move your weight back and rest on your heels. Keep your head upright, fix a point in the distance. Feel how much your concentration level increases and your stress decreases.
Then learn how to breathe properly, because a deep breath of yourself promotes the optimal functioning of the body’s anti-aging mechanism: the heartbeat slows down, the nervous system relaxes, and therefore your skin will release frozen expressions of the face. Also, the blood circulation receives a supplement of oxygen that the skin will use to gain in vitality, brightness and tension.
Give yourself a daily oxygen treatment by performing this breathing exercise: put your hands on your stomach, just under the diaphragm, and inhale and exhale deeply. If your hands move up and down visibly to the rhythm of your breathing, you perform the exercise properly.
We admit it without difficulty, these mimicry a little crazy do not look like anything, but the exercises are really effective.
1. The Marilyn
The turn of the mouth and the lips benefit from this exercise.
Be careful not to wrinkle the eyebrows or the forehead and blow kisses with the only muscles of the mouth. You can increase the resistance by pressing your fingers on the lips. Repeat the exercise four times.
2. The face of Buddha
This exercise relaxes all the muscles of the face, so that the least traces of stress or fatigue as well as all the unconscious tensions of the muscles are neutralized.
Sit quietly, close your eyes and focus on erasing all wrinkles. Focus your attention on your third eye, the point between your eyebrows. Imagine the presence here of a small circle of bright light, which never ceases to grow. If you feel that your thoughts are moving away, bring them back to this circle. First try doing this exercise for a minute. If successful, try to hold longer.

This exercise allows to work the curves of the cheeks.
