Feeling Creative, Make Your Own Pumpkin Face Mask

As soon as your ready to get up in the morning and empty your bladder, why does mother's think it's OK to come into your room and start up a conversation out of the blue like your ready to get up and go to work. At the time, I wasn't ready for work but that didn't stop her, she did give me an idea for something that has never occurred to me. Believe it or not, it was something on TV about pumpkins and as the scariest night of the year approaches, instead of using our pumpkins to make scary, spooky lanterns, why not use the inside remains of the vegetable to better use. 

Pumpkins can be used for various ideas such as a recipe to make a delicious pumpkin pie or if you are feeling experimental, why not use it as a face mask to treat the skin. All women of all ages want to make sure their skin is well nourished, moisturised, smooth and wrinkle-free.

A pumpkin face mask is very easy to make and you would be doing your skin a huge favour. All you need is the following:

• Break up a few pieces of the pumpkin, cook until it goes soft or you could get 1/4 cup of organic pumpkin puree.
• 1 Egg
• 2 teaspoons of raw honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons of ground coffee

Most of these ingredients as your aware can be bought in your local supermarket or your nearest Holland & Barrett store, but before purchasing the ingredients, let's talk about how a pumpkin face mask will be good for your skin.

Firstly, pumpkins consist of a variety of sources such as nutrients, vitamins, including other minerals like magnesium, manganese, iron, copper and potassium which will help to encourage good healthy skin and can easily be absorbed so you're left with smooth and nourished skin. 

Having done my research, the nutrients in pumpkin also contain anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and anti-ageing properties which can help to improve skin conditions such as spots, wrinkles and help boost circulation. All women want to try and keep those angry spots and wrinkles at bay, so instead of using this vegetable as a scary lantern, explore the benefits of the vegetable that will be useful to you on the inside and well as the outside.
