Taking care of your skin is one of the most important priorities in your life; correct us if we're wrong. Who doesn't want glowing and beautiful skin? But unfortunately, not everyone can be Kareena Kapoor Khan or Katrina Kaif and not all of us have access to the world's best dermatologists to help us sort out our skin issues. But that doesn't mean you can't do your bit to make sure your skin stays healthy and radiant. And one fairly effective way to do this is to opt for facial yoga exercises.

Just like yoga works wonders for your body, facial yoga can work wonders for your skin. In fact, even ancient Ayurvedic practices have known to incorporate facial yoga into their regime as it can help stretch all the 57 face and neck muscles which in turn, can help boost blood circulation, increase elasticity and firmness in your skin. So, here are some facial yoga exercises you should opt for.

Cheek exercise: Inhale as much air as you can and store it in your mouth. Then distend the breath from cheek to cheek and slowly release your breath. Doing this exercise can help lift your cheeks and make them look super plump.

Eyebrow lift: Place your index fingers about an inch above your eyebrows and try to lift your brows while simultaneously using your fingers to pull them down. Do this at least 10-12 times a day so that it can help tone the muscles in your forehead.

Eyelid stretch: Look upwards and simultaneously raise your eyebrows upwards too. Then slowly close your eyes and relax your face. Repeat this exercise 5-10 times a day for firm eyelids.

Kiss and smile: Put that pout to good use with this exercise. Make a kissing face and then ease into a broad smile. Repeat this exercise at least 10-15 times a day for a beautiful smile.

So, opt for these facial yoga exercises and you'll look young and radiant in no time. Stay tuned for more updates.
