Although your skin should be a priority year-round, the fall requires you to give your epidermis a little bit of extra attention. As temperatures turn chilly, you will need to use products to help alleviate dry skin and minimize pores. One ingredient you should consider for more than just your lattes is pumpkin. The special ingredient, pumpkin, includes many alpha-hydroxy acids—an ingredient essential for removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. The zinc and fatty acids in pumpkin also fight against breakouts by removing excess oil from the skin. Here are a few pumpkin skincare products we love at the New York Institute of Beauty.
PCA Nutrient Toner
The central ingredient in the toner from PCA is pumpkin wine. After cleansing your skin, the toner will get to work and provide gentle exfoliation to scrape off dead skin cells. The skin is left feeling dewy and with a glowing appearance. Apply the toner from PCA twice a day as part of your daily skincare routine.
Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
Although pumpkin-based skincare products are appropriate for daily use, you may choose to apply them as a special treat for your skin. One option to consider is the pumpkin mask by Peter Thomas Roth. The pumpkin enzymes will brighten the skin and minimize the appearance of pores. The oxide crystals in the formulation assist the pumpkin ingredients in exfoliating the skin and promoting new growth. Use the mask weekly for approximately three to seven minutes, depending on skin sensitivity.
Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter
If you need a single all-in-one pumpkin cleanser, then look no further than the decadent cleansing butter from Elemis. Fermented pumpkin is found in the butter along with cherry and rice water. The super nourishing face watch removes makeup while hydrating dry and damaged skin. The best use of the formula is each morning and night.
Naturopathica Pumpkin Purifying Enzyme Peel
The pumpkin peel from Naturopathica will work well for repairing oily skin prone to breakouts. Apply the peel approximately once a week to give your skin a truly deep clean. The pumpkin, honeysuckle, and lactic acid will exfoliate the skin by removing any impurities from the surface. For the full effect, leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing.
