It’s that time of the year where we look forward to everything pumpkin. But we can use pumpkin for more than just baking and lattés. Here are some of my favorite DIY pumpkin beauty recipes that you can create in your own kitchen. Pumpkins are rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamins E, C, K and A. This is great for softening and brightening the skin as well as having anti aging benefits.
***Remember to always do a patch test first before introducing new products to the skin.
