Pumpkin face mask

Use it for all natural face care

Pumpkin has many uses. Apart from its use at Halloween, you can also make several delicious dishes from pumpkin, e.g., pumpkin fritters, pumpkin with groundnuts, and pumpkin seeds. But pumpkin’s nutritious value can also be used to add moisture to your skin and make it soft and supple. The following mask has variations depending on your skin type.  (Related article:  Do you know what type of skin you have?)

If you have dry skin and do not breakout, you may want to add a few drops of evening primrose oil (you can just open a capsule)
