21 Pumpkin Beauty Products To Try This Fall
With summer over, there's nothing better than anticipating sweater weather, boots, and of course, all things pumpkin, especially pumpkin beauty products. Thanks to Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Lattes, there's more and more items, including beauty products, that use pumpkin as an ingredient for taste or for its superfood properties. While pumpkin coffee drinks might be overloaded with sugar, using pumpkin in recipes or in product formulas can actually benefit your skin.
Pumpkin is packed with vitamins — including Vitamin A, C, and E — and essential fatty acids which help with anti-aging and moisturizing. Pumpkin is also filled with "fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which increase cell turnover, to brighten and smooth the skin," according to the International Dermal Institute. Because of the Vitamin C found in pumpkin, it can also be used as a spot treatment or as a brightener, which can be helpful during colder months when sun exposure is minimal, and your skin tone can seem a little dull.
Not only can pumpkin be used in overpriced drinks and Thanksgiving recipes, there are many skin enhancing benefits when it comes to pumpkin beauty products, whether it's a face mask, exfoliator, or cleanser. To fulfill your pumpkin fix this fall, I've rounded up some of the best pumpkin beauty products on the market. Unlike PSLs, you and your skin won't get tired of these.
