Pumpkins are the common signs of fall and Halloween. We can
see pumpkins now everywhere: the front doors, porches, store windows. But pumpkins
should be also in your skin care products.
In fact, experts believe that a pumpkin contains more than
100 beneficial nutrients that can help reverse signs of aging.
According to the International Dermal Institute for Skin
Care Therapy, pumpkins offer a lot of benefits to our skin: help promote cell
“turnover” or regrowth, smoothing skin, brighten skin, high in fatty
acids and vitamin E.
Pumpkin extract contains proteases, a type of enzyme that
helps dissolve protein, so it can help exfoliate dead skin.
Pumpkin skin care products help minimize breakouts and
prevent whiteheads and blackheads from forming. Using pumpkin, as a treatment,
can help to control breakouts and create clearer skin. It’s especially important
for those with acne-prone skin.
Vitamins A, C and E are found naturally in pumpkin and each
of these vitamins neutralizes free radicals that can cause signs of aging. Using
a skin products with pumpkin, will give you a boost of antioxidants to help
protect your complexion.
Pumpkins also reduce hyper-pigmentation – because they are
loaded with copper and zinc. The former regulates melanin production to help
fade away brown spots, while the latter assists in the repair of post-acne
marks, rashes and sun-damaged tissue.
Adding pumpkin to your beauty routine will keep your skin nourished and glowing.
