So just like there was a Acai, quinoa, coconut, etc. craze.....the new it thing is chia seeds. Think of chia seeds more like quinoa. Yes foods trend just like everything else. The truth is what you use on your skin should be able to go Into your body, as your skin is actually considered the largest organ of the body. And a lot of these things are actually great for your metabolism as well.
