Super Foods for Your Face: Organic DIY Pumpkin Spice Face Mask

Pumpkin junkie? Yeah so are we and for good reason!

Pumpkin is actually an excellent treatment for all skin types, especially for sensitive or damaged skin.

 

Here is a list of the top health benefits of Pumpkin in skincare:

 

Rich in antioxidants, hydrators, vitamins and minerals, both the flesh and seeds of the pumpkin provide many health boosting, disease-fighting nutrients, such as:

• Fiber
• Vitamins A, B, C and E (protects skin, improve circulation, skin renewal)
• Potassium
• Magnesium
• Zea-xanthin
• Alpha and beta-carotene (potent antioxidant, which converts to vitamin A, slowing skin aging process)
