3 Ingredient DIY Homemade Pumpkin Face Mask

Fall is my favorite season and although Florida doesn’t have much of a true Fall, I love every second of the crisp air and the slightly cooler weather. My favorite thing about the Fall is the return of all things pumpkin. From pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin candles, I absolutely have to indulge myself in pumpkin from September – November. To go with my love of pumpkin and to help my skin prepare for the slightly cooler weather, I decided to make a refreshing pumpkin face mask using only 3 simply ingredients you can get in any grocery store and that you probably already have at home.

To make, you need:

• 2 tbsp. Pumpkin puree (canned stuff works great)
• 1/2 tsp. Milk (I’d go full fat, but you can use any kind, even almond or soy)
• 1 tsp. Honey (if you’re acne prone, go for apple cider vinegar instead)

Simply mix the ingredients together and leave it on clean skin for 15 minutes and rinse off in the shower or with a warm, wet washcloth. This mask tingles just a bit when you first put it on, which is my favorite part about using masks. This left my skin glowing and feeling refreshed. Make sure to put a nice moisturizer on afterwards since masks can sometimes make skin feel a little tight afterwards.

Pumpkin is great for the skin. It’s got a lot of Vitamin A which is great for wrinkles and Vitamin C which is a great antioxidant. Not only does it make your skin look great, but this mask is completely edible (not that I ate it, but makes me feel safe putting it on my skin), and smells amazing! It also has the added benefit of scaring your kids and or spouse when you have it on…perfect for Halloween 🙂
