Fall is here, and you know what that means. Pumpkin everything! From drinks to desserts and even skin care, not only does pumpkin pack a delicious punch in your favorite recipes, it’s also a beauty-boosting superstar.

Benefits Of Pumpkin In Skin Care
Often evoking memories of a tasty coffee, cake or pie, a luscious layer of pumpkin on the face not only smells heavenly, it also leaves your skin baby soft and silky smooth. Benefits range from adding nutrition and hydration to the skin and brightening the appearance of the skin. So, what makes pumpkin so special? It’s pulp and seed oil contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients including minerals, fatty acids and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). These acids are key to a glowing and radiant complexion, helping with exfoliation, moisture retention and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Adding to this glowy goodness, pumpkin is also rich in antioxidants, specifically vitamins A and C. As our Product Support Team explains, “Vitamins A and C help to defend against oxidative damage. Vitamin C is especially fabulous for treating and reducing the look of dark spots.”
