Halloween is here! You bought the pumpkins, the candy and the costumes are ready for Halloween night. The costumes will be worn and the candy will be handed out, but what are you going to do with the pumpkins before they go bad? Before you throw them out consider pampering yourself with a rejuvenating pumpkin facial or body treatment!

Pumpkin is my favorite fall skin care ingredient. It is high in vitamins A, C, E, and has a natural enzyme to lightly exfoliate and refresh your skin while increasing moisture content. Your skin will glow and feel soft to the touch.

You will need to puree the pumpkin so it is a paste-like texture. It can be either fresh or cooked. Cooked pumpkin can lose some of its enzyme properties, but it will still have the skin-smoothing effect.

Here are a couple of pumpkin skin care recipes that are easy to make and easy to use!

REVUVENATING PUMPKIN FACE MASK

2 Tablespoons of pureed pumpkin (fresh or cooked)
1 Tablespoon of honey
A dash of milk

Mix all the ingredients together. Make sure the mix is not too liquid. It is best to keep it on the thicker side. Spread a nice, even layer over the entire face and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. Then rinse off with warm water.

REFRESHING PUMPKIN BODY SCRUB

½ cup pureed pumpkin (Cooked is best)
½ cup brown sugar or Epsom salt.

Mix ingredients together. Make sure the mix is not too liquid and you can feel the coarseness of the sugar or salt. It is best applied in the shower when your skin is damp. Apply the scrub in a circular motion and rinse off. After drying off apply a good moisturizer.
