Pumpkin Spice (And Everything Nice) For Your Face
Pumpkin in your lattes. Pumpkin in your candles. Pumpkin on your doorstep. Pumpkin on your face? Yes, please. Although the popular fall fruit is known for its vibrant orange color, Halloween displays, and smooth flavor, pumpkins are packed with Vitamin A, C, E, antioxidants, enzymes, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). Vitamins A, C, and E soften and soothe the skin while enzymes and AHAs increase cell turnover to brighten skin. Pumpkins also contain beta-carotene for reducing wrinkles and can help with fading brown spots due to UV damage. So basically, is there anything pumpkins can’t do?! Here are our top 5 pumpkin goodies for your face:
