I already love pumpkin pie and the caramelized pumpkin slices my mom makes, so I knew I would love this one. Besides pumpkin has so many other beauty benefits that I couldn't resist trying this one out.
Beauty Benefits:
As I mentioned on a previous blog post pumpkins are a natural exfoliator, filled with alpha-hydroxy acids, loaded with antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamins A and C; plus they also have anti-inflammatory benefits and even give your skin boast of natural UV protectors. The virgin coconut oil helps to moisturize and exfoliate your skin, plus it also has anti-bacterial properties!
This are the ingredients I used for the Delicious Pumpkin Body Mask:
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil( can use regularly coconut oil if virgin is not available)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (which is antioxidant rich, anti-bacterial and smells delicious!).
Application: Apply generously to clean skin (I recommend the shower) and massage it into the skin. After 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and pat dry.
