Chia Coconut Superfood Mask

Amazing chia    seeds   are packed  with    vital   nutrients,  omega-3s,   proteins,

and antioxidants.   In  addition,   the coconut found   in  this    recipe  is  high    in

antioxidants    and is  hydrating   and soothing    for the skin.   If  you can,    use

fresh   coconut water   in  this    recipe  and your    skin    will    benefit from    the

naturally   occurring   electrolytes    in  this    tropical    elixir. This    powerfully

rejuvenating    mask    is  also    quite   gentle  and will    benefit even    the most

sensitive   of  skin    types.
