In addition to being a seasonal flavor favorite, pumpkin is a surprisingly effective skincare ingredient! The same vitamins that make it a powerhouse in the kitchen are also great when applied directly to the skin; vitamin C fades dark spots and sun damage, and vitamin A improves collagen production. And its natural enzymes work as a gentle chemical exfoliant, encouraging cell turnover to reveal softer skin even after you stop scrubbing.
