Whether you’re adding pumpkin infused products to your cart, or you’re planning a skin care DIY, keep reading to learn all about the beauty benefits of pumpkin (no witch spells necessary).
Pumpkin is full of Vitamin C, which is one of the most important ingredients in anti-aging skin care products. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and a beta-carotene, both of which have several beauty benefits. Vitamin C and beta-carotene boosts collagen production which helps to reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation. The combination also softens the skin and can actually reverse skin damage caused by the harmful rays of the sun.
On top of containing Vitamin C, pumpkin also contains vitamins and minerals like b6, niacin, folate, riboflavin, Vitamin A, and zinc have amazing benefits for your skin. Niacin and folate improve circulation which helps your skin to heal, as well as providing anti-aging benefits. Vitamin A helps to reduce scarring (from acne or otherwise). And, Zinc is a powerful acne treatment by reducing oil production and leveling out hormone levels that can trigger acne breakouts.
If you have oily skin, pumpkin infused products (or just straight up pumpkin) will work perfectly for you. Since pumpkin is high in Vitamin E and fatty acids it can actually reduce the amount of excess oil your skin produces.
On top of the brightening elements of Vitamin C, pumpkin also contains enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids which further help to brighten and give a boost to dull skin.
