Pumpkin Power


This weekend, I came across this yummy pumpkin face & body mask in this month's Self Magazine and I had to share. I heart anything pumpkin, so I couldn't resist! Pumpkin contains antioxidants such as Vitamin A and C, as well as phytonutrients that help keep you looking young. Harness the veggie's revitalizing properties with this face & body mask. This is an adaptation of a treatment offered at Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego It is super easy to make and is best done weekly....enjoy!

MIX TOGETHER:

1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup bentonite clay (avail at health food stores)
1 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp almond oil
2 tsp cinnamon

APPLY : evenly to your face or anywhere else you'd like to smooth. Leave on 10 minutes before rinsing. Almond oil moisturizes, clay draws out impurities, honey replenishes collagen and cinnamon improves circulation.

This is easy as pie...try not to eat it :)
