Pumpkin Facial Mask & Pumpkin Sugar & Spice Scrub

Autumn can play some nasty tricks on your skin with its winds and chilly weather,and since I am on this PUMPKIN streak I thought I would give you these great treats using pumpkin.
The perfect icon of the season, to help nourish your skin beautifully, sloughing off dead cells to reveal the fresh new skin underneath.
Pumpkin, after all, contains lots of anti-oxidant vitamins A and C, as well as zinc and beneficial alpha-hydroxide acids.
