An odd and unexpected blog post, I bet you're thinking.
Today is the day we make everything scary, dark and spooky, especially for the kids but you have a sneaky love for it too. I sure do!
Many of you may have celebrated halloween last weekend with dressing up, partying and drinking. Its a good enough reason too.
Today I wanted to make some logic sense in other ways to use Halloween to our advantage…
You carved them pumpkins? Started to make home-made winter soups, now let me teach you about using Pumpkin on your skin.
Pumpkin is a vegetable, and a natural plant based food which of course makes this completely natural and reaping with benefits for our health.
First of all eating this vegetable is good for our bodies as it hold plenty of nutrients, filled full of Vitamin A, C and E, contains antioxidants and minerals just like lots of other vegetables. But this is for sure a seasonal vegetable that we need to take advantage of.
This bright, big and cheerful vegetable also helps the bodies;
- Immune System
- Asthma Suffers
- Heart Disease
- Stress/Depression
and many other health issues
(This does not cure! It can help towards, so every little counts)
Look at this beautiful Pumpkin and Lentil Salad - I even saw Pumpkin Hummus!!!
Now on the the fun part!
Start using PUMPKIN on the FACE!
Its great for all skin types and helps with many skin issues such as acne(from the zinc), dry skin(from the fatty-acids), sensitive skin, dark spots and anti-ageing.
Pumpkin also smoothes and brightens the skin naturally
These are all home-remedies that are natural and can be used with products already in your home cupboards…
Oily Skin =
Pumpkin Puree and Apple Cider Vinegar together will help balance out the pH levels of your skin to control the oils and treat the production of your oily skin
Just apply to a damp face, leave to dry then rinse off with warm water - followed with your skincare routine.
Dry Skin =
Pumpkin Puree, Honey and Milk Let this mixture nourish and condition your skin leaving those dry areas hydrated - follow with your skincare routine
Dark Spots =
To help fade the pigmentation in your Dark Spots use Pumpkin Puree, Honey, Lemon and Vitamin E oil together, apply on the areas and leave for 30 minutes then wash off with warm water - followed by your skincare routine.
Body Mask =
Want to go the extra mile and cover your body in pumpkin? Why not… Pumpkin Puree, Coconut oil and Cinnamon will mask your body into a refreshed and relaxed state, taking in all of the skincare benefits for around 10 minutes then just wash off with warm water.
(and add some SUGAR for a scrub)
Dry Lips or Cracked Feet =
Mix the Pumpkin Puree and Vaseline together for a nourishing treatment (Pop socks on for a deeper mask)
Don't always rely on going out to the shops and buying creams after creams for certain issues for the skin, natural ingredients are the best you can get (which is why I make sure my skincare is all natural ingredients) and home-remides make it extra special with the care and treatment you put into your skin to nourish and care for you face and body.
