"When I turned 30, I started buying expensive creams and started getting facials. And I felt almost like I was giving up my power over my own skin care, and I had to have somebody to do something for me. I didn't like the feeling—and wanted to take the control back," says skin care expert Fumiko Takatsu, founder of the Face Yoga Method. In this episode of mindbodygreen's Clean Beauty School, beauty director & host Alexandra Engler chats with Takatsu about healthy aging, facial symmetry, and how yoga can impact the face.
