DIY Pumpkin Face Mask

This face mask is particularly nourishing during autumn. As the weather cools off and our skin gets a little drier, it’s important to apply a skincare regimen that is extra moisturizing.  This face mask fits well into that regimen.  Pumpkin contains zinc, beta carotene and fatty acids, which are all incredibly beneficial for the maintenance of a clear, balanced complexion and soft, supple skin.  Honey is a wonderful addition to this mask as it acts as a humectant.  Apple Cider Vinegar helps to tighten the pores.  So all three ingredients work together to create a mask that will do wonders for your skin.  The best part is that you can find them easily in your pantry so you don’t have to go hunting for fancy ingredients.  I hope you enjoy this recipe.  If for some reason this mask is irritating for your skin, cease from using it so you can find another mask that may be more suitable for your skin.
