Pamper Yourself with a Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
If you haven’t heard, enzyme masks are one of the greatest gifts you can give… your skin.
I often recommend this mask because it provides multiple benefits and is safe for most types of skin.
Plus, a mask is an easy way to pamper yourself!
So, if you’re in need of a moment to yourself or looking to mix up your self-care, look no further!
What is a pumpkin enzyme mask?
It can be confusing when skincare products use terms like “enzyme” but don’t let that deter you. An enzyme is just a form of protein that is naturally derived from fruit and natural chemicals.
But why use enzymes? They are great for exfoliating because they act as “biological catalysts,” meaning they accelerate chemical reactions.
Chemical reaction? Is that good? Well, yes in this case. Your top layer of skin is made up mostly of a protein called keratin, when it is exposed to a natural enzyme, the enzyme interacts with the keratin and breaks up dull, dry, and damaged keratin cells. This leaves you with softer, smoother skin!
Why should I use a pumpkin enzyme mask over other masks?
Because enzymes are more gentle than scrubs or microdermabrasion options, they are a safer alternative to many masks that have harsher chemicals or exfoliants in them.
Plus, pumpkin is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that give your skin an extra boost.
This allows this mask to cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin all in one!
What could feel more relaxing than knowing you are taking a moment for yourself AND getting your skin needs met?!
What are the benefits of using a pumpkin enzyme mask?
Besides the gentleness and bountiful health benefits listed above, a pumpkin enzyme mask can also help you:
Reduce pore size
Protect against free radicals
Absorb dirt and excess oils
Increase cellular regeneration
Hydrate your skin
You’ll see immediate results once using your pumpkin enzyme mask, and because of all the additional antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in it, you’ll keep those results!
How should I use a pumpkin enzyme mask?
Simply apply a generous amount to clean, dry skin (avoiding your eye area!).
Massage it into your skin until the warming sensation dissipates. (don’t worry, it is just warming, not burning)
Then wet your hands and repeat the massaging action.
Finally, rinse thoroughly with warm water!
You can use it 2-3 times a week or as directed to give your skin the ultimate pampering!
It doesn’t have to take much to feel pampered and proud of the way we are taking care of ourselves. Try adding a pumpkin mask to your “at-home” spa and you’ll be happy you did. Your soft, smooth and revitalized skin will thank you!
