Pumpkin spice season is finally upon us and there is no looking back. Pumpkins are being put into literally everything, so why not put it on your face? This pumpkin face mask is an easy way to get rid of any lingering pumpkins you might have in your house and have beautiful, glowing moisturized skin in less than thirty minutes. Now that the weather is getting colder, your skin needs all the moisture it can get and this mask will make your skin feel soft and supple. Pumpkins are a great source of Vitamin C which will help improve skin tone over time and has Vitamin B with will help get rid any dullness your skin might have and restore radiance.

Ingredients:

½ cup of pumpkin (canned pumpkins work as well)

2 ½ tablespoons of honey (organic is always better)

½ lemon

¼ cup plain yogurt

 

Tools: 

Blender or Fork

Bowl

Measuring cups

 

First what you will want to do is put the pumpkin in a bowl. If you are using a fresh pumpkin, you will want to mix it into a puree with either a blender, a fork, or your hands and get it as smooth as possible. Next add the honey, yogurt, and squeeze the lemon into the bowl, and mix until everything is evenly blended together. Once your mask is made you will want to cleanse your face with any face wash you might have in order to have a fresh base and to help get all the benefits that the mask has to offer. Lastly, you will want to use your fingers or an old foundation brush to evenly apply the mask all over your face. The mask should stay on your face for about 15-20 minutes then you should wash it off with a warm towel or rinse your face with warm water. Now you have refreshed, moisturized skin! If you have any left over mask you can leave it in a closed container in your refrigerator and reuse for up to a week.
