Deliciously Beautiful:Pumpkin Pie Face Mask

Pumpkins are more than just a large round decoration. They are a universal icon of the fall, and the holidays. When I see a pumpkin, I get a happy heart-warming feeling. However, I became even more pumpkin-happy to learn that pumpkins are an excellent beauty resource! 

The Pumpkin has versatile uses from Halloween decor to delicious pies, but surprisingly the pumpkin makes an excellent face mask ingredient for all skin types.Pumpkins naturally contain glycolic enzymes which help renew skin cells, they are rich in Vitamin A (skin healing), C (anti-oxidant) and the pumpkin replenishes and moisturizes dry skin and gives it a healthy bright glow.

 Many spas around the world use pumpkin in their skin treatments, but there's a way you can bring the spa to you!


This Pumpkin Pie Face Mask is an easy at-home spa treatment to protect and soothe your skin in the changing weather.
