‘Face’ is the index of mind which is indicative of your physical and mental health. Women share a deep psychological bond with ‘Beauty’. This bond has often compelled them to use chemical enhancements, which are not only expensive but also damaging to one’s skin, in the long run. Following a healthy lifestyle and practicing yoga will enhance your beauty naturally from inside which will eventually get manifested on your outside.
