YOGA POSES FOR TEENAGE SKINCARE
Skin is the gateway to a confident personality. Every woman wishes for that flawless skin that becomes the centre of attraction wherever they go. Especially in teenagers, when various changes are happening in the body, issues like pigmentation and acne are prevalent, which can cause low self-esteem.
This issue can grow with age and time, so it must be rectified correctly. It might not be necessary, but it is essential.
Let us see some of the yoga poses for teenagers!
- VIRABHADRASANA (warrior pose): extending one leg backwards and stretching the hands upward. This pose increases blood flow to various body parts, especially the skin. It also manages the hormonal balance in the body, fighting pimples and pigmentation and increasing oxygenation.
- UTTANASANA (standing forward bend pose): This forward bending pose stretches the back and releases trapped energy from the joints and muscles, increasing blood flow to the face, head, and scalp. However, remember to extend the pose only to your body’s degree of pain and flexibility.
- DANDASANA (staff pose) is derived from the Sanskrit word dand, which means a stick. Start this asana by sitting erect and lying on the ground with your back straightened and tightened upward and your legs stretched out in front of you. Your legs must be lying in a position parallel to each other, and your feet should be pointed upwards. This is an excellent yoga for glowing skin.
- Tadasana (mountain pose) is a typical standing Yoga posture. Start by standing straight with feet together and back in a straight position. Raise your arms and inhale while standing on your toes, holding for some time. Then, come back while exhaling slowly. This asana allows the body and consciousness to integrate and align in one plane. It is also believed to treat insomnia and low blood pressure. Its breathing action increases the glow on your face.
- Kapal Bhati (Light Skull Breathing or Skull Brightener Breath): Sit comfortably with your backbone straight and your stomach not compressed. Inhale deeply through your nostrils. Contract your lower abdomen or use your hands to gently press on this area, forcing out the breath in a short burst. This increases the body’s oxygen supply to different cells and stimulates and provides energy to the skin.
Yoga for teenagers is a multidimensional practice that can address various problems adolescents face due to changes in the body. Hence, there is no need to worry about the changes that your skin will go through. Yoga will keep it fresh and healthy to the best of its level. All you need to do is invest time and effort to ensure you are at your best possible result.
