Do you love pumpkin? I do! Its my favorite and its really great for my skin so i decided to give it a try as a DIY home organic recipe. Pumpkin seeds contain many beauty boosting properties. In China, they are seen as a symbol of health, rebirth and fruitfulness. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and healthy fats. With a high level of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, pumpkin seeds keep your skin soft, elastic and help prevent dehydration, leaving you with beautiful glowing skin. Here’s how:
1 medium pumpkin
4 pineapple chunks
1 tbsp finely ground oats
1 tbsp finely ground almonds
1 tsp milk
1 tsp honey
2 drops rose geranium essential oil
1 drop rose essential oil
Slice pumpkin into 6-8 pieces and remove skin.
Place the pieces, including seeds and strings in a microwave safe dish with 1/4 cup of water.
Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the flesh is soft, then allow to cool.
Cut the pumpkin peel from around the flesh, and discard it.
Place the pumpkin flesh, seeds, and strings into a small food processor adding the pineapple chunks, and blend for 1 minute, or until smooth.
Add the oats, almonds, milk, honey and essential oils, blending for a short time after each one.
The texture should be rich and smooth, but slightly grainy from the almonds.
Apply a generous layer to clean face and neck.
Leave on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse well with warm water and apply organic moisturizer.
See? so easy and very effective…not messy as well.. I love this simple recipe!
