Aztec Honey and Wine Mask

Quick and easy to make,  this facial mask works to increase the vitality and radiance of your skin. Since ancient  times, chia seeds have been glorified as super foods by the Aztecs and Mayans; they are high in levels of vital nutrients,  omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, and antioxidants. The red wine has antioxidants known for their anti-aging benefits.  The alcohol in the red wine tightens and clarifies pores while the honey hydrates and increases the circulation.
