\"\"<\/a>Halloween is just around the corner and fall is in full swing – This Means Pumpkins!\u00a0 Pumpkins for carving, pumpkins for eating, and pumpkins for beauty.<\/p>\n

Yep – that’s right – organic pumpkin is a fantastic beauty booster!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pumpkins are filled with the anti oxidant Beta Carotine (or Vitamin A).\u00a0 This is what gives pumpkins their rich orange color and<\/em> what makes them perfect for reducing free radicals<\/a> and protecting the skin from the sun.<\/p>\n

These Halloween gourds also offer us Vitamin C, another antioxidant, as well as zinc for major anti bacterial, anti fungal, and anti inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n

Ready to get some pumpkins into your beauty routine?\u00a0 Us too!\u00a0 That’s why we created this vegan DIY pumpkin scrub recipe just in time for Halloween – so you won’t scare anyone unless you want too!<\/p>\n

This DIY recipe is great for helping remove that Halloween makeup too; and soothing your skin after using that gunk (seriously, be careful, Halloween make up is notoriously nasty stuff).<\/p>\n

Also, while you may have seen other pumpkin DIY beauty recipes out there, ours is vegan<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 No yogurt, no milk, no honey, No Animal Products of Any Kind<\/em> – yet still super effective!<\/p>\n
