Enzyme-based exfoliation uses natural enzymes to melt the bonds that hold dead cells on the skin. Safe for most skin types- including sensitive- enzymes provide gentle exfoliation with minimal irritation. The bight orange you see on a pumpkin is due to a high concentration of beta carotene. This antioxidant has been found to protect cells (skin cells too!) against degeneration, certain types of cancer and heart disease. As if this wasn’t reason enough to try a pumpkin facial, it turns out pumpkins are also high in Vitamin C which has been proven to provide free radical protection, boost collagen production, and fade unwanted pigment as well. Pumpkin is also full of Vitamin A and are deeply nourishing and moisturizing to the skin.
