Nestled between the hot end of Summer and the cool days of Fall is September, harvest season. Pumpkins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg… yes, it’s Pumpkin Spice season and we know it! These seasonal favorites are all very beneficial to your skin, which may start to feel a little drier than normal as the days get shorter and the Colorado air gets cooler.

The turnover of these skin cells stimulates collagen production. The infusion of vitamins A and C - which pumpkins have in spades - also helps stimulate collagen production, and more collagen means softer fine lines and plumped-up skin. By exfoliating the skin, pumpkin unclogs pores. Plus, vitamins A and C are proven acne-fighters. The bottom line is- anyone’s skin can benefit from pumpkin, whether it is ingested or applied topically.
Â
Even if you spent the summer religiously applying sunscreen and wearing hats, you still have some sun damage because of how hard it is to fully protect your skin from the sun. Pumpkin infuses the skin with antioxidants, like vitamin A and beta carotene, to fight free-radical damage. It also deeply exfoliates, resurfaces, and helps repair photo-damaged skin. That means brighter-looking complexions with lightened pigmentation.

It's Pumpkin Spice Season and Your Skin Loves It!
August 28th, 2018

Pumpkin
When pumpkin is in an enzyme form, it can be stimulated with heat and moisture to create a deep exfoliation. This exfoliation process dissolves the dead skin cells, sloughing off unwanted buildup on the skin's surface. That buildup on the skin is responsible for a dull complexion, so getting rid of it helps brighten everything up.Â
