Having bags under your eyes, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness can cause you to look much older than your actual age. Skin is a reflection of both inner and outer health and you can look as much as a decade or even younger if you take proper care of your skin. Yoga contains specific exercises which fall under physical postures known as asanas. Practicing these poses regularly once or twice a day can help you to improve your skin health thereby reducing puffiness around your eyes and helping to firm up the skin for that glowing, and radiant look.

Practicing yoga regularly can definitely help you improve the texture of your skin but you also need to make certain lifestyle changes if required. Having loose skin under the eyes, wrinkles, dark circles can be caused due to inadequate sleep; as a result of dry skin, allergies, eating too much salt, excessive alcohol intake, rubbing your eyes often, and smoking et cetera.
