As we enter October, it officially starts the Halloween season, and if there ever was a fruit mascot for this spooky holiday, it would be the pumpkin. This seasonal gourd begins to pop up everywhere, but it is not only for sweet treats and carving activities, pumpkin is actually great for your skin! Read below to learn what skin healing properties a pumpkin possesses:
ANTI-AGING
Pumpkins are a great source of potassium, a mineral that helps with new cell growth, and can help rejuvenate a tired complexion.
BLEMISH CONTROL
Pumpkins are loaded with Zinc, which helps heal acne blemishes, reduce inflammation, and aids in regulating the skin’s oil gland activity.
BRIGHTNESS
Rich in Beta-carotene, pumpkins help to enhance the skin by adding a glowing hint of color that brightens and evens out skin tone.
