This Pumpkin Face Mask is wonderful for skin! If you haven’t used pumpkin on your skin before, it’s full of alpha hydroxy acids and fruit enzymes. These components help to smooth and brighten skin.

Cinnamon is really great for acne and tightening up the appearance of pores. It also helps give skin a plumper, more supple appearance.

If you have sensitive skin, use this Pumpkin Face Mask with caution. It can cause burning in some people with especially sensitive skin as these natural ingredients are powerful.
