Not everyone has the time or budget to fit in a professional pumpkin mask treatment so I am going to show you how you can make your own right at home.
The benefits of a pumpkin mask:
- High in Vitamin A (great for acne and skin healing)
- High in Vitamin C (great for skin brightening)
- Helps naturally remove dead skin cells
- Hydrating
What you will need:
- 1/4 cup of organic pumpkin puree. I used a small pumpkin that I cut into slices, removed the seeds and microwaved it for 10 minutes.
- 1/2 tablespoon of raw organic honey (a natural bacteria fighter)
- 1/2 tablespoon of organic non GMO soy milk (helps increase elasticity of your skin)
Directions:
- Mix all the ingredients together
- Apply the mask evenly all over your face, avoiding your eye area.
- Leave on for 15 minutes and then remove with a warm washcloth.
- Follow up with a moisturizer.
*If you have acne or are acne prone you can add a tiny bit of raw apple cider vinegar into the mask.

Oh I just took a relaxing sigh just looking at this. I am so calling my esthetician for a facial tomorrow. If only she had this lovely concoction! At least I can do the DIY version - Thanks!
I laughed when I saw this as I was like right she's officially done it! Combined two of my favourite things :) Pumpkin ... and face masks. I honestly can't wait to try it out. Lets see what Morgan says this time when the poor love has to sit there with me on the couch with pumpkin all over my face haha I will let you know how I go! Thank you so much for sharing this.

My daughter loves doing facial masks, and I just finished cooking down a pumpkin, so I guess this one will brighten her day when she gets home tonight! Thanks for the recipe!
Love this but I have a few questions: does this need to be refrigerated and how long will it last?
Yes this needs to be refrigerated and it will only last a few days at most.
Sounds super natural!!
Since it's working good for skin I will definitely try it
