If you would try anything except make-up and face-lift to look youthful, face yoga may be right up your alley. Just doing a few simple moves daily, can help relax your under eye muscles and fade dark circles. Besides, they will also boost the elasticity of your skin and keep you looking younger. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is not. Ever wondered how yoga enthusiasts and fitness gurus have the most glowy, younger looking skin? So ditch the make-up and try these easy moves for a fresher and rejuvenated facial look.

Eye Circles

Place your index fingers on the ends of your eyebrows. Now gently tap around your eyes following the top of your brows and continue doing so under your eyes, at the top of your cheekbones to the inside corners of your eyes. Repeat, in the opposite direction making little tapping motions. This is a great technique to plump and firm the area and increase collagen and elastin. This technique will also help relax the muscles, reduce under-eye wrinkles, and boost blood circulation to prevent dark circles.

Clock Face

Look up to the ceiling and slowly move your eyeballs anti-clockwise. At 6 O'clock, look down towards the floor and complete one circle to come back to 12 O'clock. Now move your eyeballs clockwise. Close your eyes for a moment, allow some rest and then open them again. Doing this will give a healthy glow to the eye area. Desi Ghee Beauty Benefits for Skin and Hair: Dry Hair to Dark Circles, Say Goodbye to 7 Problems With Clarified Butter (Watch Video).
