Why We Love Pumpkin Skin Benefits And You Should Too!

posted in All on 7/30/2016

In the past, pumpkins always made me think about Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie. Now that I’ve learned about the amazing skin benefits that pumpkins provide, I think about them differently.

Pumpkins are packed with alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s) and fruit enzymes, and also contain Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

Now let’s talk about the seeds! Pumpkin seeds contain Zinc and Vitamin E, and are high in essential fatty acids.

Here is why we love pumpkin skin benefits and you should too! • Increases cell turnover. • Brightens and smooths the skin. • Soothes the skin. • Boosts collagen production. • Prevents signs of aging. • Assists with healing of the skin. • Helps to control hormone levels. • Regulates sebum. • Nourishes and moisturizes.

Now that you know the amazing skin benefits of pumpkins, make yourself a facial or body mask and give your skin all these amazing benefits next time you have a pumpkin at home.

Pumpkin, Coconut Milk, and Oatmeal Handmade Soap

Did you know that pumpkin has amazing skin benefits? That’s right, besides giving this soap a beautiful light orange color, we used pumpkin for its amazing benefits. Pumpkin contains antioxidants, Vitamin A and C; which helps soften, sooth, and boost collagen production of the skin. It is also packed with fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s), which brighten, increase cell turnover and smooth the skin. We had to pair that beautiful orange color with a light and sweet scent using Orange and Tangerine Essential oils. It also contains coconut milk, which gives our soap a creamy consistency and colloidal oatmeal for a gentle calming exfoliation. It sounds divine, doesn’t it? This soap was made from scratch using the ancient cold process method. Our recipe has been carefully designed to provide you with a natural skin-loving soap bar that will lather, cleanse, and moisturize the skin naturally.
