5 Yoga Poses For Pimples
Uttanasana
Stand straight, keep your hand on hips, and breathe in. When you breathe out, slowly bend your hip. Place your hand on the floor beside your foot. Make sure your feet are placed parallel to each other. Extend your torso forward by lifting your tailbone further. Make sure, the fold comes from the hip joint.
To come back to original posture, release your tailbone, and gradually come back to standing position. This increases blood circulation to head, face and neck. It relaxes facial muscles and balances hormones, which have an impact on skin.
Trikonasan
Keep your feet apart (three feet). Raise your arms up parallel to the ground with palms facing downwards. Place your left foot to right direction (45 degrees); turn your right foot in right direction (90 degrees). Align both heels to form a straight line.
Shift your right thigh outwards. Breathe out, twist your body in the right side direction, and stretch the upper body beginning from your waist.

As the body remains straight from feet up to shoulder with legs at the 90- degree angle from the floor, blood flows from lower part of the body towards heart for oxygenation. Peculiar shoulder stand position improves supply of fresh blood to the brain, eyes, ears, nose and throat.
