How to Make a Pumpkin Facial Mask

How to Make a Pumpkin Facial Mask

 

Pumpkin is loaded with good things for the skin and you don't have to wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy its benefits. Using canned pumpkin puree works beautifully in facial mask recipes as does a pumpkin fresh from the patch. Either way, pumpkin has lots of Vitamin A and enzymes to help nourish and brighten the complexion.

What you'll need:

1/2 cup Pumpkin Pulp or Puree
1 whipped egg white
1 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp plain yogurt
2 tbsp ground oatmeal
 

1  Cook enough fresh pumpkin, without skin and seeds, to make 1/2 cup of pulp. Alternatively use canned pumpkin puree. 

 

2  Cool and mash with a fork. Mix with 1 whipped egg white, blending well to incorporate egg and remove most of the lumps.

 

3  Add 1 tbsp. honey, 2 tbsp. plain yogurt and 2 tbsp. ground oatmeal. Use a coffee grinder or food processor to grind the oats.

 

4  Mix all ingredients well into a thick consistency.

 

5  Cleanse face and neck and pat the facial paste onto the skin, excluding the eye area. After 10 minutes, remove with a warm wash cloth and rinse skin with cool water.

Enjoy!
