October 05, 2022

It’s officially spooky season and if there’s one thing that screams out “halloween is around the corner!” it’s the heaps of pumpkins we are seeing everywhere!

From Jack O Lanterns to a delicious side on Thanksgiving, pumpkins are a hit this time of year and we want to get in on the action!

We think you know where we are going with this… pumpkin face masks for all!

Think twice before throwing out the innards of your pumpkin when carving up those creepy Jack O lanterns! Not only are the seeds a delicious and nutritious snack, but pumpkin has some serious skin perks and your skin deserves the love!

Why your skin loves pumpkin

Pumpkin is rich in vitamins A and C to brighten the complexion and keep your skin cells healthy.

They are an excellent source of alpha hydroxy acids and fruit enzymes to aid in cell turnover for more youthful skin. Pumpkin helps to remove dead skin cells, soften and smooth lines, and promote a radiant glow.
