Get brighter, tighter skin with this DIY Pumpkin Face Mask recipe. This simple homemade face mask has many anti-aging benefits your skin will appreciate this fall.
Fall is here, and the chill in the air is more than welcome after a long, hot summer. I’ve already been filling my kitchen with the scents of fall, so I thought I’d create another beauty recipe using those wonderful aromas in addition to the Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs recipe I shared.
These 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 boost cell turnover to smooth and brighten skin.
In addition, pumpkin contains Vitamin A and Vitamin C, both of which are antioxidants that help soothe and soften skin while boosting collagen production to stave off signs of aging.
Cinnamon is really great for acne and tightening up those pores. It also helps bring blood to the surface of the skin, giving it 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.
