Ladies, are you wondering what the heck you’ll do with that left-over pumpkin after you’ve baked all your pies? Don’t just throw it on the compost heap: pumpkin happens to be the ideal base ingredient for several skin-care products, including both a facial mask and a spiced scrub. Not only will both help slough off dead cells, they’ll also nourish your skin with a healthy dose of antioxidants like vitamins A and C, along with alpha-hydroxy acids and zinc. If the pumpkin’s not already cooked, cook it and puree it first, then follow the pumpkin recipes here.
