The Power of Pumpkin 🎃
You know fall is finally here when you see pumpkin products of all kinds line store shelves. As festive as this ingredient may be, there’s another reason it’s becoming increasingly popular during all seasons, not just fall: Pumpkin is loaded with several vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for our overall health and can provide many beauty benefits, too.
The Beauty Benefits
Pumpkin is made up of alpha hydroxy acids (similar to glycolic acid and lactic acid), which are fruit acids that slough dead skin cells, increase cell turnover, and keep the skin glowing. Pumpkin also has the added benefit of containing beta-carotene, a vitamin A-derivative that decreases wrinkles, helps slough brown spots, and can help reverse UV damage. Zinc is also plentiful in pumpkin, a powerful healing agent for its acne-preventing and skin-healing abilities.
Pumpkin is also loaded with Vitamin C, which helps boost your body’s immunity to fight off colds, the flu, and infections and helps fight sun damage and free radicals on the skin, preventing aging, wrinkles, and brown spots.
