With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I’m guessing that many of you bakers out there just miiiight have some leftover pumpkin puree hangin’ out in the fridge sometime this month. You know, maybe after making a delicious pumpkin roll, or pumpkin cake, or bourbon pumpkin pie or something? (<– I don’t know, just some ideas. 😉)
If that happens to be the case, or if you just happen to be interested in some ultra-easy, ultra-affordable, ultra-natural DIY “brightening” skincare, then do I have a delicious new “recipe” for you.
It’s this Pumpkin Honey Brightening Face Mask!
The inspiration for this one actually came from a pumpkin face mask that I picked up from Ulta earlier this fall. A friend had recommended it, and I instantly fell in love with how it made my skin feel and how fresh and glowy it felt afterwards. But the more I used it, the more I wondered if I could whip up something similar with all of the pumpkin surplus in my kitchen myself. So I checked out the label, and did a little extra research into skin-brightening ingredients online. And as it turns out, many of the most-recommended ingredients were already in my kitchen!
So over the past few weeks, I’ve been experimenting with various all-natural face masks with that leftover pumpkin puree. And the simplest formula has turned out to be my favorite. It makes my skin feel great, it only takes a minute or so to whip up, and — best of all — it only calls for three easy ingredients!
Pumpkin, honey, and…
