It’s that time of year, and the pumpkin craze is here. In addition to being delicious in a fresh pie or a latte, pumpkin is extra delicious for your skin as well.

Somewhat of an unspoken hero in the skincare world, pumpkin puree is loaded with beautiful benefits! Pumpkin contains tons of natural fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which help gently exfoliate and remove the top layer of dead skin cells to clean and brighten your skin. Pumpkin also feeds your skin nutrients through the pores like vitamin C and antioxidants.

      • Revive and brighten
      • Feed your skin nutrients
      • Delivers antioxidant benefits through your pores
      • Gently removes dead skin cells

The other two out of the four ingredients in this CBD pumpkin face mask are raw honey and lemon juice. Lemon juice and raw honey are full of goodness for your skin as well.

This CBD Pumpkin face mask recipe is fun to whip up and a joy to smear all over your face. You may look something like a jack-o-lantern for a few minutes until you rinse. 

Ingredients
  • 2 Tablespoons of Organic Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 Tablespoon of Manuka or Raw Honey
  • ½ Teaspoon of Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ½  Dropper full of Pure Balance CBD oil

(I used a Full Spectrum 750mg CBD Oil, so a half dropper equates to about 12mg of CBD)

Instructions
  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a small dish. 
  2. Cleanse your face thoroughly before application.
  3. Before applying to the face, test a small amount on your wrist as some people may be more sensitive to pumpkin enzymes. 
  4. Apply CBD pumpkin face mask to face and neck. Wait 5-10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Enjoy your fresh face and smooth glowing skin! 

Happy Fall!  🍂🍃
