Beauty Advice from Yoga Teachers

We all know the healthy glow that regular yoga practitioners get. They seem to glow from within. Here’s how you can get your own glow on …

Start your day upside down

If you begin the day with an inversion such as a headstand or handstand, your facial skin will benefit from the blood flow.

Even a few minutes each morning can have both physical and mental benefits. Use a wall to balance you, or just lie with your legs up a wall for five minutes.

Swap coffee for tea

Instead of a cup of coffee that will amp up those stress levels, why not try a calming cup of yogi tea.

Combine the juice of half a lemon, a couple of slices of fresh ginger, a teaspoon of raw honey, a pinch of turmeric, and a pinch (or less) of cayenne with warm water for a restorative drink.

Make your own face mask

Take advantage of the healing properties of nature and make your own face scrub. Simply combine equal parts raw honey and mashed papaya for a delicious-smelling and highly effective face mask. Eat the rest of the papaya for improved digestion.
