Mumbai: Our skin, the largest organ of our body. Skin is constantly exposed to the elements and bears the brunt of our daily stress. Stress can manifest in various skin issues, from breakouts and dryness to premature aging and wrinkles. Stress can also have a significant impact on our neck and face muscles, leading to various skin and muscle issues. One of the best natural ways to fight stress-related skin problems is facial yoga.
Facial yoga helps in relaxing and toning facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The exercises promote better blood flow to the face, giving your skin a healthy glow. Regular practice can firm and lift sagging skin, giving a more youthful appearance.
