Pumpkin is no longer just an ingredient you use to make pies at Thanksgiving or carve during Halloween. Pumpkin has an abundance of skincare benefits. It is rich in vitamin A, which soothes and softens skin, and vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps repair damage caused by free radicals. This ingredient also contains natural enzymes to help dissolve dry skin cells for a brighter and clearer complexion.
