"Pumpkin Power"

As many of you know, I am obsessed with skincare. It is one of my favorite things to learn and talk about. As the seasons are changing I am always on the hunt for new products that will make my skin sing! I love heading into one of my favorite clean beauty boutiques in Denver called AILLEA where I find most of my favorite facial goodies. My last visit I was introduced to "the power of the pumpkin” basically the secret ingredient that so many of my favorite brands are using. Since it’s pumpkin season I wanted to put together the most rockstar group of products that are filled with this anti-aging ingredient. 

Here are three of my favorite ways pumpkin benefits the skin!

It Increases firmness: Pumpkin is full of fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids that boost cell turnover which smooths your skin. 
It's Antioxidant Rich:  Pumpkin seeds contain fatty acids and Vitamin E which is great for an oily complexion.
It Soothes: It contains Vitamin A and Vitamin C which helps promote collagen production which helps to soothe the skin and prevent signs of aging. 

Here is my step-by-step “power of the pumpkin” facial routine that I created just for you:
