Thanksgiving is Near, Bring on the Pumpkin!

Hi Ladies! Alana Here! Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and football. One of the most popular dishes at every Thanksgiving table is a pumpkin pie. It brings back memories of my childhood and everything that is "home". Due to a rise in health concerns and nutrition, pumpkins have taken on a new life outside of just being a holiday staple.

On the health front, there are chemical compounds found in pumpkins that help those who are pre-diabetic and those with type 1 diabetes. Pumpkin seeds are a great snack as they provide healthy fats and are high in proteins, zinc, and iron. They are also low in cholesterol and high in magnesium. Pumpkin seed oil is another healthy attribute. It is produced from roasted pumpkin seeds and contains natural fatty acids that are great for heart health and overall nutrition.

When it comes to beauty, pumpkin extract is a widely used ingredient in many skincare products. Some of the main benefits of pumpkin extract are:

• Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles

• Improves skin tone and vitality
• Helps prevent and improve appearance of stretch marks

• Helps deep clean pores

Here are three pumpkin infused skincare products that are great all year long and make you look sensational no matter what the holiday. They are also on sale for the month of November!

Get your skin ready for winter with one of Mother Nature’s most beneficial products, the pumpkin. Pumpkin makes an excellent face mask ingredient for all skin types, especially environmentally damaged or sensitive skin. High in Vitamin A (skin healing), C (anti-oxidant) and Zinc, the pumpkin soothes, moisturizes and acts as a carrier, assisting the other mask ingredients to absorb deeper into the skin and intensifying the results. Try the Holy Mud Exfoliating Pumpkin Glycolic Mask , which is a great exfoliating mask that helps to reveal radiant skin.

Give your skin the healthy glow it deserves!
