A pumpkin facial is a gentle chemical peel that contains high levels of fruit enzymes and antioxidants. The enzymes in the pumpkin pulp gently exfoliate the skin’s top layer, removing dead skin cells, excess oil, and other impurities. Exfoliation helps antioxidants and other nutrients from the pumpkin to penetrate the skin and provide deep nourishment and protection from free radicals.

Here are the benefits a pumpkin facial brings

1. Treats dry skin

The nutrients in a pumpkin that promote faster cell turnover (fruit enzymes), reverse aging signs by fighting free radicals (vitamins A and C), and regulate oil production (zinc, potassium, and magnesium) also play a part in restoring moisture to dry skin.

2. Diminishes dark spots

Pumpkins are high in beta-carotene. This derivative of vitamin A fights sun damage and helps with pigmentation issues.

3. Provides anti-aging benefits

Vitamins A and C in a pumpkin protect the skin from free radicals by boosting collagen production. Increased collagen helps soften the skin, improve skin texture, and reduce fine lines.

4. Reduces acne

Zinc in the pumpkin facial assists in the regulation of hormone levels and oil production. Pumpkin is also an excellent source of vitamin B, which helps improve cell turnover and reduce acne.

5. Makes the skin brighter

Fruit enzymes in the pumpkin facial gently exfoliate the skin’s top layer, removing dead skin cells and other impurities. This results in brighter, glowing, and younger-looking skin.
