We’ve Fallin’ in Love with Pumpkin
It’s no secret, we’re all pumpkin obsessed the second that October hits, and if we’re really honest some of us are breaking out the fall décor at the end of September. Pumpkin everything has hit the shelves of Trader Joes and the smell of pumpkin spiced lattes looms around every Starbucks. But while you’re enjoying everything pumpkin flavored, have you ever thought about the benefits pumpkin has on your skin? You may be surprised at some of these skin-credible benefits that pumpkin has to offer.
The Benefits of Pumpkin for your Skin
Reduces Inflammation
If you’re feeling flush this fall, a pumpkin infused facial or serum may help to calm things down. Pumpkin is loaded with Zinc, which helps heal and calm your skin. As an antioxidant, Zinc helps to reduce redness and irritation while fighting the formation of free radicals. Zinc also regulates the activity of your oil glands, which can help prevent acne.
Offers All-Natural Exfoliation
The Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) in pumpkin naturally and gently exfoliate the skin leaving it fresh and renewed. AHAs are a group of plant-derived acids, such as glycolic, citric and lactic acids, that act as safe and natural skin exfoliants. Their primary and benefit is non-abrasive exfoliation, a process that removes dead skin cells to make way for new cell generation. Say goodbye to dull skin and hello to your natural glow!
Helps with Anti-Aging
Pumpkin is filled with natural antioxidants that reduce the signs of aging by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. It’s also packed with Vitamins A and C which boost collagen production to create a plump, smooth complexion. With all the toning, calming and exfoliating properties of the antioxidants and vitamins found in pumpkin, you’ll find your skin will be smooth, bright and evenly toned after a few uses.
