Tiz’ the season for fabulous body care products!  Now is a good time to set aside our day to day products and try something new and special. While there are so many great products to choose from, this group is for those that are positively passionate for pumpkin!

This Papaya Pumpkin Enzyme Mask from Ec~Oooh~Chic is a creamy resurfacing mask that contains concentrated papaya and pumpkin enzymes to exfoliate and reveal a glowing, youthful complexion.

Visit SIRJJ Organics where you can find many products containing raw unrefined pumpkin seed oil, which is known for its vitamin & omega fatty acid rich content and numerous benefits for the skin.

For a limited time, Scandle is offering a delicious Pumpkin Pie Spice Lotion Candle that burns at 2 degrees above body temperature to produce a soothing oil that can be used for massages, manicures, pedicures and daily moisturizing.

The Soap Queen Blog is featuring a Pumpkin Puree Soap Tutorial, made with natural ingredients and links to purchase key ingredients. The soap is gorgeous!

Another DIY product is my recipe for Pumpkin Enzyme Facial Cleanser & Masque.  It’s made with natural pumpkin pulp powder which is a rich source of gentle and effective exfoliating enzymes, antioxidants, beta carotene, vitamins and minerals, all which are beneficial to naturally caring for our skin.  White Kaolin clay is gentle in nature, suitable for sensitive skin and lends mild exfoliating and cleansing capabilities.

Ingredients:
2.5 oz Pumpkin Pulp Powder
1 oz  White Kaolin Clay
1tbs Finely Ground Oats
1 tbs Calendula Powder
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg

Directions:
Mix and sift all ingredients together.  Bottle and label.

To Use:
Pour a dime size amount of the facial powder into the palm of your hand.  Activate it with a tiny drizzle of water, using your finger to easily combine the two, and you instantly have a pure paste to cleanse with (using a gentle circular motion) and rinse or leave on as a masque for about 8 -10 minutes.  Follow with a thorough warm water rinse.
