Monster Mash Pumpkin Mask

Pumpkin is the active ingredient to cleanse your inner monster.

Oct 1, 2007

Packed with vitamins and anti-aging properties, pumpkins contain enzymes that when applied to skin, loosen the bonds that keep yucky dull outer skin cells clinging to the surface. Pumpkin also delivers a burst of nourishing and hydrating botanicals, leaving skin as smooth and glowing as a jack-o'-lantern.

Here's what you need:

• 1 15 oz. can of pure pumpkin (organic if possible)
• 1 heaping tablespoon of honey

Here's what you do:

Mash ingredients together in a bowl. Apply the mask to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. After 10 minutes, rinse with warm water over a kitchen sink (this mask may be too thick for your bathroom sink). Finish up with your favorite facial moisturizer.

This recipe makes a lot and is best used within the week you make it. So go crazy with it! Smear it on your hands and feet and wrap them in plastic wrap for 15 minutes. Or, invite the girls over for a pumpkin beauty bash.
