Pumpkin Skin Care Products That Work as Good as They Smell
Body Scrub
Slough off dead skin with the wonderfully scented Clock Struck Midnight Pumpkin Latte Sugar Scrub ($12) from Ulta. Enriched with coconut oil, it leaves skin baby soft and is a great pick-me-up on a chilly fall morning.
Hand Cream
Hands warmed by a cup of pumpkin spice latte? Good. Dry hands suffering the wrath of the season’s harsh winds? Not so much. Pamper dehydrated skin with Desert Essence Organics Pumpkin Spice Hand Repair Cream ($6.74), which is loaded with nourishing jojoba oil, pumpkin seed oil, and licorice leaf extract to soften and smooth.
Liquid Soap
Naturally, you’re washing your hands more at this time of year, too. Make an otherwise mundane experience a little more enticing by sudsing up with Nest Pumpkin Chai Liquid Soap ($22). The scent is to die for, mimicking the heady aroma of spicy masala Chai blended with pumpkin, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.
Face and Body Exfoliator
Nip dry skin in the bud with this deliciously scented June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Enzyme Polish ($60). Gentle enough to use on the face and body, this exfoliator contains potent white, red, and green tea extracts, making it an antioxidant powerhouse.
Moisturizing Body Mousse
The end of the year brings more than its fair share of decadent desserts, but not everything involves a side of guilt. Drench dry skin with Bath & Body Works Whipped Shimmer Body Mousse in Pumpkin Latte and Marshmallow ($16), a lightweight moisturizer enriched with softening cocoa butter and almond oil.
Fragrance
A spritz of Demeter Pumpkin Pie ($20) sets the tone for the day perfectly. True to its name, it’s a calorie-free way to enjoy the Thanksgiving dessert any time, anywhere---and trust me, it’s mouth-wateringly good.
Mud Mask
Enjoy a spa day in the comfort of your own home with Farmhouse Fresh Splendid Dirt Nutrient Mud Mask ($20). Made with organic pumpkin puree, it’s a must for skin in need of serious TLC. Just one use yields fresher, cleaner, decongested skin that looks brighter and clearer.
Body Wash
Hints of summer and fall unite in in the Acure Coconut Pumpkin Body Wash ($9.99), which smells even better than it sounds. The coconut note is fairly strong, but with organic pumpkin and argan oil, you can also count on baby-soft skin that lasts through the season.
