Pumpkin Enzyme Facials KMSKIN - Park City, UT
After months of fun in the sun, fall ushers in a new season of treatments and products to replenish dry summer skin. And while we can’t resist apple and spice-inspired skincare goodies, the real Star of Autumn is Pumpkin.
There’s no question pumpkin’s nutritional benefits pack a powerful punch. Think of it as nature’s collagen. Pumpkin has the highest content of naturally occurring vitamin A, salicylic acid and beta carotene, and protects the skin from UV rays thanks to its high zinc content. It also supports in eliminating toxins and neutralizing free radicals while infusing the skin with antioxidants and nutrients that benefit the skin.
Fall is a great time to repair any lingering summer damage, prepare for cold weather dryness and revamp your skincare regimens in time for the holiday season. Let’s take a closer look at some the benefits of pumpkin.
Benefits
Pumpkin contains vitamins A and C. Both are potent antioxidants that can destroy free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for premature aging of skin. Vitamins A and C also stimulate the production of collagen, thereby helping to keep your skin supple and youthful.
Pumpkin also contains Zinc which is the key ingredient in most reliable anti-acne formulations. When having a pumpkin enzyme facial, the zinc in the enzyme will also aid in balancing your hormone levels. This, in turn, reduces inflammation and facilitates healing of the skin.
Pumpkin enzyme is replete with Essential Fatty Acids as well as Vitamin E. Both are needed to ensure the skin has optimal barrier function. Vitamin E also helps to control sebum production and hence, is considered a key skin care ingredient for oily and acne-prone skin.
