Want to look your best this fall? Give pumpkin a try. No, we don’t mean pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread. To do something really good for yourself, tap into pumpkin’s beauty benefits!

Why is fall’s favorite ingredient showing up in spas and salons everywhere? Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A—the main ingredient found in retinol which promotes anti-aging benefits. Pumpkin is also very high in antioxidants that will sooth your skin and give you a beautiful fall glow!

Spas are incorporating pumpkin products into their facials, pedicures, peels and massages this fall. Want to make your own pumpkin spa treatment? Here’s a way to indulge in a calorie-free pumpkin treat!

Pumpkin Facial Mask

2 teaspoons of canned pumpkin
½ teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon milk
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
Mix ingredients together. Brush onto clean skin and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
