Packed with vitamins, minerals, and wrinkle-blasting antioxidants, pumpkin is at the top of the skincare game. With its high dose of vitamin E and fatty acids, pumpkin keeps your skin hydrated and moisturized, leaving you with a complexion as smooth as a pumpkin pie. Plus, its natural enzymes and exfoliating properties gently slough off dead skin cells, revealing a radiant, glowing complexion underneath.
