Perfect for all skin types, this pumpkin mask will gently exfoliate, hydrate, and give skin a beautiful glow. It’s easy to make with just a few ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree (fresh or canned, as long as it’s pure pumpkin with no additives)
- 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (for hydration and lactic acid, which exfoliates)
- 1 tsp honey (natural humectant to lock in moisture and soothe)
- 1 tsp rolled oats (optional, for gentle exfoliation, especially for sensitive skin)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, yogurt, honey, and oats (if using) until it forms a smooth, even consistency.
- Cleanse your face to remove any makeup or oils. Pat dry.
- Apply a thin, even layer of the mask to your face, avoiding the eye area.
- Let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes. You may feel a slight tingle from the pumpkin’s natural enzymes.
- Gently rinse off with lukewarm water, using circular motions to exfoliate with the oats if you included them.
- Pat your skin dry and follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the glow.
Benefits:
- Pumpkin is full of fruit enzymes that exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, while vitamins A and C help brighten and soften.
- Greek Yogurt provides gentle exfoliation with lactic acid and hydrates to leave skin feeling supple.
- Honey has antibacterial and moisturizing properties, making it ideal for all skin types, especially those with dry or sensitive skin.
- Oats add gentle physical exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells without irritation.
Use this mask once a week for a glowing, fresh complexion this fall!
