You do not have to be born beautiful. You can acquire it. Unless you are healthy from the inside, you cannot reflect true beauty. I believe that yoga is very relevant to our modern lifestyle, in terms of both health and beauty. The regular practice of yoga helps to preserve the youthful properties of the skin and body.
Basic Asanas for Health and beauty:
Pranayam
One of the Yogic "asanas" that is necessary for beautiful skin and hair is Pranayam, as it helps to reduce stress, increase oxygenation and improve blood circulation. Pranayama is one of the best exercises of correct breathing. Devoting a few minutes every day allows us the means of the natural cleansing of the system. These exercises are now being followed worldwide. Close one nostril with the fingers. Then breathe in through the other nostril. The air should be inhaled in short sniffs. Then close the second nostril and breathe out. Breathe in again through the other nostril and breathe out the same way. Alternate it up to ten times. This not only purifies the blood stream but cleanses the entire filtering system.

Calming both body and mind also help the problem. It helps the organ systems to stay healthy, apart from keeping the body youthful and the mind calm.
