Healthy, glowing skin is on everyone's wish list.

Actress Malaika Arora, however, has a solution. In her recent video, she shared three simple Yoga asanas (poses) with her Instagram followers that will help achieve healthy skin. The video, which is part of her 'Malaika's Moves Of The Week' series, features her demonstrating three asanas - Sarvangasana, Halasana and Trikonasana. Along with the video, she wrote about the importance of staying hydrated to help the body beat the summer heat.
Skincare: Try these three yoga poses
The caption to the video reads, "We all need to keep our body hydrated to beat the heat and keep it healthy. While we continue to drink lots and lots of water, this #MalaikasMoveOfTheWeek I am sharing 3 poses that I practice regularly for healthy skin. These poses can be very effective in purifying blood leading to healthy-looking skin."
1. Sarvangasana
The first asana, Sarvangasana or the 'Shoulder Stand Pose', helps to regulate the flow of blood towards your face as you are upside down while performing the pose. "This is how the quality and texture of your skin improves while also building strength around shoulders and back," she wrote.

The Halasana or the 'Plough Pose', meanwhile, focuses on skin health more holistically. The pose has a positive impact on both mental well-being as well as digestive health. "This pose helps to reduce stress, calms the mind and improves your digestive process, all of which has an amazing effect on your skin," the caption read.

The third pose, Trikonasana or the 'Triangle Pose' opens up your chest and shoulders. This, in turn, enables the chest to supply fresh oxygen to the skin. "Along with benefiting the skin, it also gives you toned arms, legs and thighs as you practice regularly," Malaika explained in the note.
