Surprise! Yes, what?! Turns out pumpkins are good for more than just pie and lattes.
All these years of throwing out the remains of your carved pumpkin have gone to waste. You could’ve been putting it on your face! That’s right, pumpkin flesh makes for a great face mask.
Some of the known benefits are smoothing and tightening of the skin, boosting collagen, controlling oil levels, and helping improve complexion and pigmentation.
Tis’ the fall season! Go get yourself a pumpkin and do this:
1. Carve out the insides
2. Puree them in a blender
3. Add directly to your face for 15 minutes (Add honey for extra hydration)
4. Wash off
OR, you could just buy canned pumpkin puree and skip steps 1 and 2.
