Tender, refreshing and hydrating coconut water, yes we know that's exactly what we like. During sweltering heat of the summer, coconut can give a new lease to life. And if you thought its benefits are restricted internally, you cannot be further away from the truth.

Topical application of coconut water can reverse signs of ageing, lighten pigmentation, tone and instantly brighten your skin. And that is precisely why we curated these coconut water face mask recipes for you.

So, what are the skin benefits of coconut water? Coconut water contains a high ratio of antioxidants and cytokinins, which prevent premature signs of ageing by boosting the collagen levels of the skin.

Furthermore, it has a good amount of omega-3 and vitamin C, which slough off dead skin cells, close pores, tone and brighten the skin.

Not just that, it also has small pockets of minerals like magnesium, potassium and amino acids, which hydrate and replenish the skin.
