5 Benefits of Pumpkin in Skin Care
Pumpkin is popular in treatments for good reason. This orange squash offers five main benefits:
– Helps the skin absorb nourishing vitamins through bioflavonoids
– Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin
– Stimulates collagen to reduce fine lines
– Provides antioxidants to fight dryness from environmental stress
– Supplies beta-carotene, amino acids, and fruit enzymes

Pumpkin keeps skin looking fresh year-round, but it’s especially useful during seasonal changes when skin often gets dry or red. As our Product Support Team puts it: “When seasons change, skin can lose moisture and need more exfoliation. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, sun exposure from summer, or the effects of heating and AC, skin benefits from extra care — and pumpkin helps.” With so many uses, pumpkin is an easy ingredient to add to your daily routine.

Top Pumpkin Picks
It’s simple to bring pumpkin into your skin care ritual. We offer options for at-home and spa use so your skin stays smooth and supple no matter the treatment.

– Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque: This fan favorite restores moisture and leaves skin smooth and radiant. It contains vitamin E and omega-9 fatty acids to help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. For an extra boost, mix the Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque with the Stone Crop Masque at home — together they hydrate, restore radiance, and help skin look firmer and healthier.

How to Use a Pumpkin Face Mask
For best results with the Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque:
1. Mix a small amount in your hand with a few drops of water.
2. Apply evenly over the face, and the neck and décolleté if you like.
3. Let it dry for 5–10 minutes.
4. Rinse well with lukewarm water, using a face cloth if you prefer.
5. Follow with your favorite Eminence Organics serum and moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Patch test recommendation: Before first use, cleanse the area behind your ear, apply a small amount, and leave for 10 minutes. If there’s no unusual reaction, proceed with full application.

Holiday Skin Care Ritual Ideas
Now that you know some of our favorite pumpkin products, here are complete routine ideas to try this season.

1. Cleansing
– Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser: A gentle milky gel that removes dead skin without scrubbing or stripping moisture. Its Lactic Acid Complex and mangosteen help restore a smooth, radiant look.
– For normal to dry skin: Firm Skin Acai Cleanser is a creamy option with hyaluronic acid and seabuckthorn oil to support elasticity and a youthful appearance.

2. Toning
– For all skin types: Stone Crop Hydrating Mist refreshes and hydrates. Spray one to two pumps on face and neck or apply with a cotton pad, avoiding the eye area.
– For combination to normal skin: Mangosteen Revitalizing Mist balances the skin with antioxidant-rich mangosteen, energizing ribose, and pore-refining red clover.

3. Exfoliation
– At home: Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel 5% is great in fall to reduce fine lines and brighten skin by removing dead cells.
– Another at-home option: Arctic Berry Peel & Peptide Illuminating System, a three-step system (enzyme exfoliant, activator, and peptide cream) that refines and smooths over time.

4. Facial Masks
– For all skin types: Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque restores moisture and fights visible signs of aging with vitamin E, omega-9 nutrients, and antioxidants.
– Another pick: Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Masque blends citrus, greens, and avocado oil to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
After masking, consider adding treatments for the neck, hands, feet, or eyes.

5. Essence
– Kombucha Microbiome Balancing Essence: Apply a few drops by hand or on a cotton pad and pat into the skin for light hydration.

6. Serum & Facial Oil
– Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum targets visible signs of aging for all skin types.
– Follow with Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil to deeply hydrate and help skin appear firmer and plumper. Best for normal to dry skin.

7. Eye Care
– Neroli Age Corrective Eye Serum followed by Snow Mushroom Moisture Cloud Eye Cream refreshes and hydrates the delicate eye area. Neroli helps soften skin while the Natural Retinol Alternative Complex smooths the look of wrinkles. Apply a thin layer and blend gently until absorbed.
– Snow Mushroom is a powerful humectant that draws moisture in, helping the eye area look supple and plump. Apply twice daily and pat gently until absorbed.

8. Moisturizer
– For combination to normal skin: Firm Skin Acai Moisturizer uses botanical hyaluronic acid and acai berry juice to hydrate and give a plumping effect.
– For all skin types: Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream is another excellent option.

9. Sun Defense
– Finish with an SPF to protect your skin. After peels, skin is more sun-sensitive, so use a high-SPF product, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure for a week after treatment.

10. Lip Care
– Lip Comfort Plumping Masque deeply hydrates and helps smooth vertical lines around the mouth. Finish with Citrus Lip Balm or Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 for protection and moisture. The Citrus Lip Balm is petroleum-free with shea butter and sunflower seed oil; the Rosehip & Lemongrass balm adds SPF 15 protection.

11. Body Care
– Stone Crop Body Lotion helps even out skin texture and leaves skin looking youthful — massage it in and leave it on.
– Cranberry Pomegranate Body Scrub gently buffs and nourishes with vitamin-rich cranberry and pomegranate. Apply to damp skin near the end of a shower or bath, massage in circular motions, rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

12. Massage
– For face: Linden Calendula Treatment is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin.
– For body: Use your favorite lotion or oil for a relaxing massage.
