#PSL the Hell Outta Your Skin

#PSL the Hell Outta Your Skin
by Truly Beauty

If there's one thing we love about the Halloween season, other than dressing up in crazy costumes and knocking doors for candy (obv!), it's getting to load up on pumpkin spice lattes. 

From what we're hearing, pumpkin isn't just a scary Halloween decoration or the ingredient in Starbucks' signature fall beverage. It's actually spooky spectacular for your skin.

In case you're interested in the skincare benefits of pumpkin, read on! Our dearest Truly tribe: it's officially time to PSL the hell outta your skin! You have our blessing.

 

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT PUMPKIN?

What's typically thought of as a spooky Halloween decoration turns out to be a pretty power-packed skincare ingredient, too.

High in vitamins A, C, and E, pumpkin skincare products work wonders at smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is thanks to its ability to boost collagen production. Alongside this, it's loaded with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that work to dissolve dead skin cells, speed up cell turnover, and ultimately promote brighter skin. 

You'll typically find pumpkin beauty products this time of year in limited edition products. Snap them up while you get a chance because, honestly, things don't get much better than pumpkin when it comes to enjoying multiple beauty benefits at once.

 

BENEFITS OF PUMPKIN SKINCARE, SUMMED UP

Start taking advantage of this fall vegetable's myriad of beauty benefits...

Anti-Aging Superstar

Pumpkin is a good source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help prevent signs of aging. It also contains beta-carotene, which helps to reverse UV damage and improve skin tone. Added to that, pumpkin stimulates collagen production, thus enhancing the skin's elasticity. According to experts, pumpkin even protects skin from radical damage, which can lead to skin cancer. It's the ultimate skin plumper.

 

Dark Spot Diminisher

The fruit enzymes inside pumpkin gently exfoliate the skin's surface, while zinc + potassium combat redness. It's a fantastic DIY solution for treating dark spots and pigmentation. 

According to Eminence Organics Product Support Team Lead Alicia Hawthorne, "Vitamins A and C help to defend against oxidative damage. Vitamin C is especially fabulous for treating and reducing the look of dark spots."

Look for pumpkin or pumpkin seed oil in your cleansers, lotions, and face masks to ensure you're getting the best possible product for the job.

 

Acne Addresser

Between its exfoliating powers and cellular turnover abilities, pumpkin is an excellent ingredient for tackling breakouts. It's not your typical acne-fighting ingredient, but it's worth a try if you're looking to ward off blemishes.

Pumpkin is high in B vitamins, such as niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and folate. Niacin and folate both help to increase circulation, improving cell turnover and renewal. Zinc controls hormone levels and oil production, assisting in the healing and prevention of breakouts. 

Pumpkin also boasts anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and provide relief for sensitive skin types dealing with acne. 

 

Complexion Brightener

Since pumpkin contains exfoliating enzymes that nibble away at dead skin cells, you can expect a fresh, radiant complexion when you use pumpkin skincare products on a regular basis. 

"Pumpkin is made up of alpha hydroxy acids (similar to glycolic acid and lactic acid), which are fruit acids that slough dead skin cells, increase cell turnover and keep the skin glowing," says dermatologist Lily Talakoub.

Believe in the brightening powers of pumpkin!

 

Humble Hydrator

Sadly, Halloween's veggie doesn't get enough credit in regards to its hydrating abilities. 

In the fall, your skin tends to suffer moisture loss from the change in environment from central heating or air. Pumpkin can help restore lost moisture.

If you have dry skin, you can benefit no end from using a pumpkin face mask or lotion in your daily skincare regimen.
