Why Pumpkins?
Pumpkins contain vitamins like Vitamin A, B-6, B-2, Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Isn’t that great?
Vitamin C boosts the production of collagen which is certainly essential in maintaining the youthful look of our skin.
It also works to lighten sun tan and even out the skin tone and texture.
The Vitamin E helps moisturises and leaves the skin nourished and glowing.
It also has minerals like zinc which helps maintain the oil balance of our skin, which in turn helps reduce acne.
Pumpkin does have antioxidants like alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthi which helps prevent sun damage and reduce free radical damage that accelerate ageing.
How Often To Use
You can use this face mask everyday until you get the desired results.
Use a sunscreen to protect your skin from tanning further. It really helps in case of sun tan, pigmentation and dull tired or uneven skin tone.
Pumpkin Face Mask Recipe
Cooked pumpkin- 5 cubes
Neem leaves paste/powder – 1 Tablespoon
Curd – 1 Tablespoon
Neem is anti inflammatory and anti fungal which helps treat skin infections and mild allergies. If you have redness or irritation, this ingredient will help soothe the skin.
Neem leaves help control excess oil and thus, works to reduce breakouts. No breakouts means clear skin and no new acne scars. YAY !
Regular use does show visible results in skin brightening, fades acne scars and even tones the skin.
Curd – Now on to the reason why we are using curd/yogurt here.
The lactic acid here causes invisible exfoliation. In simple words, it helps remove dead skin cells without any harsh scrubbing.
This reveals the younger looking skin beneath and also improves dull complexion to an extent.
Curd has astringent properties that helps prevent the formation of blackheads/whiteheads and pimples.
The alpha hydroxy acids, vitamins and minerals helps nourish, hydrate and renew your skin leaving it brighter, soft and healthy.
Zinc in curd and Neem does increase the cell turn over rate. This prevents premature fines lines and wrinkles.
The Vitamin B combination in curd also helps delay the signs of ageing by promoting collagen production.
So all of these work together to give you healthy glowing younger looking skin.
I hope you would give this face pack a try.
If you have super oily skin, You could add additional ingredients like clay or gram flour to remove excess sebum. But then, you can only use this face pack three times a week.
