During the autumn season, pumpkins can be great ingredients for your do-it-yourself beauty recipes.
This banana and pumpkin face mask will work wonders for your skin.
Let’s take a look at the ingredients in this organic beauty recipe.
They contain many skin-healthy ingredients, including potassium, which moisturizes the skin, and vitamin E, which protects from UV damage.
Like bananas, pumpkins are high in vitamin E. They are also high in vitamin A and C, which boost collagen and help soften the skin.
Coconut oil is deeply nourishing as it contains vitamin E.
Its anti-bacterial and antiseptic properties can help with acne and pimples.
Mix the following ingredients in a BPA-free bowl:
3 tbsps of pumpkin puree
1/3 of a ripe banana
Mash the ingredients with a fork
Add 1 tsp of organic coconut oil
Apply the mask to your face
Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water
Spray your face with Witch Hazel (optional)
Follow with your favorite synthetic-free moisturizer
Make sure ingredients are organic
Enjoy!
