Benefits of pumpkin for skin

Pumpkins are beneficial for the skin due to their high content of antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals.

These nutrients help promote healthy skin by protecting against free radicals, reducing inflammation, improving collagen production, and boosting hydration.

You may have heard of pumpkin enzyme facemasks. The enzymes present in pumpkins gently exfoliate the skin, revitalizing it and bestowing a radiant and youthful appearance.

What you’ll need to make this Pumpkin & Oats face mask

You’ll need just a few simple ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen. All the ingredients can be found at any grocery store.

Grab a can of Organic Pumpkin Puree. Save the rest for a future facemask or make some healthy pumpkin muffins with the rest.

You’ll need some high quality almond oil.

You’ll also need some ground oats. I buy organic oats and grind them up with either a coffee grinder, blender or food processor.

Honey is always a really great addition to any face mask. It has antibacterial properties that can help with acne. Be sure to use raw, unfiltered or you won’t get any of the benefits. You can leave it out if you don’t have any on hand.
