Fall is definitely in the air; can you feel it?

From lattes and décor to specialty scones and tasty pumpkin flavored treats, the season’s signature vegetable is everywhere these days. While pumpkins are certainly a sign of the cooler weather and fun holidays to come, they are also incredible for skin care. Chock-full of vitamins and minerals, pumpkins do way more than flavor pies and indicate Halloween.
Skin care products containing pumpkin can be used on most types of skin making it a superb additive for almost anyone. According to the International Dermal Institute pumpkin is rich in a whole host of vitamins such as vitamins A and C along with E and T. These are all great for the condition of your skin for a multitude of reasons. Vitamin A is a great skin smoother and when applied topically aids in diminishing the visibility of wrinkles by softening fine lines. Vitamin C aids in cell turnover and helps fight those nasty free radicals from the environment that can cause your skin to prematurely age.
