Great Pumpkin Beauty


Philip Treacy eat your heart out



When Charlie Brown and Lioness sat in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin to visit. They were disappointed that the Great Pumpkin didn't leave toys for all the good little children. Well they were mistaken he did leave the good little boys and girls gifts. Pumpkin has allot of gifts for all the girls and boys . One being its benefits for our skin. I decided we'd talk about some of the attributes of pumpkin. Its not just for pie and jack o lanterns. Maybe you'll think twice about letting one decay on your doorstep this fall. I also have included a pumpkin inspired eye.

Pumpkin is excellent for use on all skin types, but especially if your skin is damaged from environmental conditions such as overexposure to the sun. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which soothes and softens your skin, and vitamin C, an antioxidant that can help to remedy damage produced by free radicals, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Pumpkin facial masks, moisturizers and peels nourish your skin and promote the absorption of these nutrients.




I also found this youtube on how to make a pumpkin mask. I tried the mask it is wonderful .  I had some patchy dry spots that smoothed right out . I would recommend  making sure your hair is pulled back away from your face when doing this. Its awful sticky in the hair . Give it a try . When your shopping for the fixings for pie grab yourself a can for your face .
