Exercise and Skincare: Make Yoga a Part of Any Skin Care Routine
(PRWEB) August 28, 2007 -- Believe it or not, the stretching and movements of yoga can affect a person's skin as well as their body. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Yoga and Your Skin," refutes the common misconception that yoga only involves sitting around cross-legged and chanting with the eyes closed. Yoga is a serious practice and can contribute to wellbeing in both mind and body.

According to this article, the stretching and movements of yoga can affect how the skin looks and feels. Like the body, skin will more than benefit from regular exercise; it will thrive.
Yoga is a system of exercise where the body moves through a series of postures, known as asanas, which are held for specified periods of time as the person focuses on their breathing. With more advanced asanas, these poses and movements can be quite strenuous. Combined with deep breathing, asanas increase circulation and blood flow to skin cells, purging the body of toxins and impurities.
In addition, there are several different types of breathing techniques that can be used in yoga, all which help purify the entire body. Breath of Fire, for example, can be very beneficial as it creates a rhythm that harmonizes all bodily systems and purifies the blood, cells and skin. The rhythm of breathing also helps purify the body: exhalations expel toxins from the body and skin, while inhalations flood the system with fresh oxygen.
Inversion postures like headstands and shoulder stands reverse the blood flow as well as the law of gravity, giving an instant face-lift. In fact, ancient yogis are known to hold the headstand posture for as long as fifteen minutes a day, thus clearing their mind and their skin.
Moving through these postures can really work up a sweat. Sweating is an excellent detoxifier for the skin. It rids the body of dirt, pollution, and grime and boosts the metabolism, which can assist in the production of new collagen, keeping the skin firm, toned and elastic.
With yoga, the body, mind and spirit will be the happy recipients of a multitude of benefits. Skin enlightenment is just an asana away.
