It’s official, fall is here! Every year at this time, a seasonal favorite makes its grand appearance: pumpkin! This delicious fruit (yep, it’s a fruit) is found in everything from your morning latte to muffins, breads, pies, candies and more. Whether you enjoy pumpkin soup or smoothies, incorporating pumpkin into your diet and skin care routine is a delicious step toward beautiful skin.
This point of the year is a great time to reflect on how your skin is doing. The summer months can be hard on skin, from increased UV exposure to higher humidity and even harsh pool chemicals and travel. Just as the fall leaves start to turn vibrant colors, the wear and tear of summer can start to become noticeable on the skin’s surface, showing up as noticeable sun damage to a dry, dull complexion.
Kick off fall looking and feeling great by grabbing a yummy, yet healthy snack of toasted pumpkin seeds, which contain essential omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals known to keep your skin healthy, hair shiny and nails strong. The vitamin A in pumpkin helps support healthy cells, vision, immune function and more. Pumpkin also provides vitamins C and E. Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant that also supports tissue repair and immunity, while vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage.*
Did you know you can actually feed your skin the benefits of pumpkin? Try this pumpkin-perfect regimen, a must-have for beautiful fall skin!
Step 1: To keep skin ultra-soft and clean, gently massage a nickel-size amount of Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser onto skin with warm water to gently wash away surface impurities, environmental toxins and excess cell build-up while protecting skin’s moisture balance. This delightful cleanser is loaded with vitamins and exfoliating enzymes, pumpkin fruit and honey, which hydrate as they refine skin’s surface. Blue-green algae is rich in minerals and antioxidants to fortify skin tissues and help soothe redness and irritation.
Step 2: For unbelievable smoothness, apply a thin layer of Incredible Pumpkin Peel 1-2 times per week after cleansing. Leave on for 1-3 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. This weekly treatment helps to exfoliate and deeply nourish skin with pumpkin pulp, enzymes and fermented juice. Loaded with antioxidants, this fortifying peel rejuvenates and supports cellular integrity while clearing pores and aiding detoxification. Skin is left feeling incredibly soft, smooth and clean with a renewed healthy glow.
