Avocado Chia Mask

This so-simple moisturizing face mask is good enough to eat.

Baby, it's cold outside. And old man winter is taking a toll on your face.

Nourish dry, flaky or dull skin the natural way with a luxe D.I.Y. facial, courtesy of Josh Rosebrook from L.A.'s The Parlour on 3rd salon. (Look for his eponymous organic skincare line, launching next month.)

The Avocado-Chia face mask below features only two ingredients--avocado and chia seeds--and minimal prep. Vitamin E-rich avocados regenerate skin cells and jump-start collagen production to diminish the appearance of fine lines. Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation from winter wind and cold.

Ready to say spa-ahh? Try this tonight:

1. Mash half of an avocado with three tablespoons of ground chia seeds.
2. Apply mask to face.
3. Leave on for 10 to 45 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.

You'll have yummy-looking skin in no time.
