This mask and enzyme peel will leave your skin glowing. It’s definitely better for your skin than the fall-favourite Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which heals and softens the skin. It also has natural enzymes (alpha hydroxyl acids) that gently exfoliate the skin and promote new cell production. Honey moisturizes the skin and has antibacterial properties that heal acne blemishes. Cinnamon and nutmeg plump the skin and also have anti-acne properties.

Pumpkin Spice Enzyme Peel:

1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp cinnamon (omit if you have very sensitive skin)
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Mix together all ingredients.

Store mask for up to 1 week in the refrigerator (I usually use a mason jar).

Apply to clean face using a brush. Allow to sit on the skin for 10-15 minutes. Gently cleanse from face and follow with moisturizer.
