DIY Vegan Pumpkin Face Mask

We peta2sies love recipes … LOVE ‘em! In fact, I’ve been obsessively eyein’ Rachel’s Sunshine and Hummus Burger—I’m SO making that for dinsies tonight!

Anyhoo, I wanted to share a different kind of recipe with you … one that’s for your face!

It’s a vegan pumpkin face mask (perfect for fall pampering sessions). Pumpkin is rich in antioxidants like beta-carotine, zinc, vitamins A & C, and natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which will leave your skin healthy and soft.

What you’ll need:

  • 2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin (puréed)
  • 1 tablespoon of soy yogurt or ¼ teaspoon of soymilk

Optional additional ingredients:

  • ½ teaspoon of brown sugar (helps exfoliate) or
  • ¼ teaspoon cranberry juice (helps keeps skin from looking dull) or
  • ½ teaspoon oatmeal (if you’d like a thicker mask; oatmeal is great for dry skin)

Directions
Mix all of your ingredients together and then gently apply to your face (avoiding the eye area). Kick it for about 10-15 minutes (feel free to paint your toe nails while you wait). Rinse with warm water, and then moisturize with your favorite lotion.

Voila! You’re done! Enjoy your beautiful, glowing, fall skin!

Know of any other DIY beauty recipes?

Just keepin’ it real,
Sunny

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
