Pumpkin is a wonderful ingredient for DIY skin care. It’s high in vitamin C to protect your skin
from free radicals, which means that it can help prevent wrinkles and fine
lines.
Pumpkin is packed with vitamins and enzymes that rejuvenate
skin, sweeping away dead skin cells to reveal a radiant complexion – this makes
pumpkin great for aiding in dark spot removal.
With plenty of benefits for your skin, any pumpkin face mask
is highly effective, so, pumpkin is the perfect ingredient for a homemade face
mask.
First of all, you need to prepare pumpkin puree. In previous post I wrote how I made it .
For oily skin you will need:
-about 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1egg white
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
Egg whites contain two vital skin care ingredients: collagen
and protein, which can be effective for those who are fighting any type of skin
inflammation or fine lines and wrinkles.
Lemon juice has astringent properties that help shrink pores
by tightening the skin.
For dry skin you will need:
-about 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons of honey
The nutrients in egg yolks work to hydrate, nourish, and
moisturize dull/dry skin.
Honey is a natural humectant, which means it moisturizes the
top layers of the skin. This extra moisture can help improve wrinkles. It also
soothes dry, irritated, and sensitive areas. Also, honey's antioxidant
properties help delay skin aging.
How to do:
Whisk together all ingredients to create smooth paste.
Apply mixture over your face, relax for
15 to 20 minutes, and rinse by water to reveal a brighter, firmer, smoother complexion.
