Halloween Pumpkin Face Mask

Halloween Pumpkin Pulp Face Mask Recipes

Apparently pumpkin is not just great for soups and roasting, it is high in Vitamin A, C and Zinc - great for a healthy glow, and well, just look at pumpkin skin…no wrinkles or pimples there huh?

1. Preparing your pumpkin: get some help from an adult to cut it open and scoop out the seeds - then either microwave in a bowl with a few cm of water for 15-20 minutes to soften pulp or boil on the stove in water for the same time. When cooked through the pulp will just scoop out easily with a spoon.
