What Is A Pumpkin Spa Treatment?

Posted: October 2nd, 2015

So it's pumpkin season again. The fall is a lovely time of year. The leaves start changing and holiday preparations begin. The time for pumpkin picking, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie and pumpkin cookies. Well then why not try the latest fad using pumpkin in spa treatments? Think of it as your pumpkin skin fix for the fall. Some spa treatments offer pumpkin masks, body wraps, and even extracts combined with a pumpkin and spice oil.  Pumpkin offers plenty of benefits when applied topically to the skin, and a number of cosmetics and beauty product companies are making skincare products that contain pumpkin enzymes as a leading ingredient. The enzymes found in pumpkins dissolve dead skin cells, which makes it a great chemical exfoliant. Plus pumpkin is full of beta carotene and is a good source of anti-aging vitamin A. Body wraps and massages that use pumpkin ingredients are another way to indulge during the season, or any time of year. Pumpkin nourishes tired or dry skin instantly, giving you a healthy glow anytime your skin needs a boost! You'll also find pumpkin treatments in many anti-aging therapies, but you can still enjoy it as a basic skin soother and moisturizer. Pumpkin peels can also help with breakouts and acne problems. The nutrients can help soothe and reduce inflammation naturally, helping skin recover from acne-related damage. Pumpkin facials make use of a pumpkin enzyme mask that can soothe and protect your skin; the essential nutrients can reach deep within your pores and absorb quickly. Combined with a moisturizer and basic toner, this is a great treat for your skin and body, without the extra calories! Oh my, you may smell so good you might want a taste.
