While it sounds extreme, there are scientific reasons for hanging upside down in order to boost facial skin. On a Well + Good podcast, celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau explained how this move can result in better skin.
"I hang my head upside down every night before I go to bed for two minutes to bring blood flow to my face—to bring oxygen and circulation and new nutrients to the cells," said Rouleau. "That's my little free tip that doesn't cost you anything. Hang your head upside down for two minutes."
Better blood flow and circulation lead to the body absorbing more nutrients and vitamins, as well as having access to more oxygen-rich blood. For skin to look its best, it needs proper nutrition and hydration so boosting blood flow can help improve the skin's appearance. However, it's not a cure-all.
