Pumpkin Facial
Today we have an easy eco-fix for under $10 that your face will love! With Halloween coming up, many of you will be carving a pumpkin or two but all too often the pulp and seeds that are scooped out of the pumpkin are simply tossed in the trash. You can roast the seeds to make a healthy snack or cook the pulp down to use in a recipe but here's another use for this scooped out treasure. Use it on your face!Pumpkin is rich in anti-oxidants and beta-carotene plus it's loaded with vitamins A, C and E. These are the same vitamins that are found in many expensive skin care lines. When you make a simple mask from pumpkin you'll be creating less waste, using fewer chemicals on your face, you'll save money and you'll have healthier looking skin.
It's super simple! Just put the scooped out pumpkin into a food processor. You can add a few seeds for extra exfoliating power. Rub the pumpkin on your face and neck and let it set for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse with water. You will be amazed at how good your skin feels afterwards. You can store any remaining mask in an airtight container for use at another time.
So this Halloween do your part by putting the entire pumpkin to use. It's natural, it's inexpensive and your face will thank you!
