Have pumpkin, will mask? Great! I found a couple of natural recipes for you: the Pumpkin Face Mask and a Pumpkin, Sugar and Spice Body Scrub.

Make this part of your fall skin care regime: exfoliate and refresh your skin with a DIY Pumpkin Face Mask and Body Scrub:

Pumpkin Face Mask

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons cooked or canned Pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon Honey
1/4 teaspoon Milk (Skin very dry? replace with rich, luxurious Whipping Cream)

1/4 teaspoon Jojoba Oil (optional)

1. Combine ingredients and apply to a clean face with soft circular motions. Be sure to avoid the area around your eyes.

2. Allow mask to remain on skin for 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply your favorite moisturizer.

Pumpkin, Sugar, and Spice Scrub

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked or canned Pumpkin, pureed
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1. Combine ingredients in a bowl.

2. While you recline in a tub or stand in a shower stall, use a damp washcloth to scoop up a dollop of the pumpkin mixture. Apply the scrub to your body, starting with your feet and working your way up, avoiding your face. Scrub gently using circular motions.

3. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
