The beauty of your face depends on good posture. For the skin to glow, it must be well cleansed and nourished, and nutrients and oxygen reach it with the blood through the neck. Muscle tension in the shoulders and neck restricts this circulation — and a dowager's hump, a double chin, a dull complexion, dryness and wrinkles appear.
Why posture matters for the face
Everyone should watch their posture, and especially those who want a toned face glowing with youth.
For facial skin to glow with youth, it must be well cleansed and nourished. Nutrients and oxygen reach the tissues with the blood. The structures of the face get their blood supply through the neck. If there is muscle tension in the shoulders and the neck itself, the outflow — and therefore the inflow — of blood rich in oxygen and trace elements will be restricted.

That is why it is important to take care of yourself and your posture — hold your head high, like a queen.
