Pumpkin Works Wonders on Skin Too

As you may have noticed, I love pumpkin. Around here we've been indulging in lots of pumpkin edibles, but pumpkin's not just to eat. There are many wonderful skincare products enriched with the goodness of pumpkin made just for your skin. Here are three great products, and not a calorie in sight!

Ladies Blend Pumpkin Enzyme Facial Cleanser & Masque is an organic exfoliating cleanser and mask enriched with pumpkin pulp that's gentle on your skin. It's chock full of pumpkin goodness, including enzymes, antioxidants, beta carotene, vitamins and minerals, and suitable for normal as well as sensitive skin.

Now that the weather is cooler (and more drying), keep your skin hydrated with this Spiced Pumpkin Souffle Handmade Shea Cocoa and Mango Body Butter
by ZAJA. Made with fair-trade ingredients, each jar is whipped up to order. Let the earthy sweetness of the pumpkin come through with a fragrant blend of clove, nutmeg, allspice and ginger, and just a touch of cinnamon. Pumpkin naturally soothes and softens the skin. Nourish your skin while keeping it smelling delicious. As just ten bucks a pop, this is an affordable indulgence.

We all know how good pumpkin is to eat, but it is a nutritional powerhouse for dry, mature and sensitive skin too. Crafted from pure ingredients from Sumbody.com, Pumpkin Lift Face Mask is high in age-defying anti-oxidants, exfoliating enzymes and nourishing Vitamins E and C. The pumpkin stimulates circulation, promotes clarity and restores damaged skin to a healthy, balanced state. With added skin-softening milk, hydrating honey, warming cinnamon and firming egg to the mix, this mask makes for a truly decadent skin-loving treat.
