Now that Halloween is over what are YOU going to do with all those pumpkins? Okay, I COULD make a pumpkin pie...or roast pumpkin...or make spicy pumpkin seeds...but honestly, I have a lot of pumpkins.
Homemade Pumpkin Facial Masque
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh cooked pumpkin, drained, cooled, no skin
1 egg white whipped
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp ground oats (oatmeal)
2 tbsp plain yogurt
dash of fresh lemon juice
pinch of nutmeg
Or
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh cooked pumpkin, drained, cooled, no skin
1 tbs oats (oatmeal)
1 tbs honey
1/2 tsp olive oil (or any oil you have on hand)
pinch of nutmeg
squirt of lemon juice
Mix all of the ingredients together to form a thick like consistency. Adjust the ingredients if needed, add more oats to make it thicker or add more liquid to thin it out. Apply this mixture to your clean face and neck, leave on for 5-10 minutes. Use tissues to gently remove the bulk of it, then rinse with warm water followed by a cool water rinse, gently pat skin dry.
Enjoy!
Great idea! Now I'm seeing why I should have bought a real pumpkin vs. reusing the craft one we bought last year. ;)

I never got around to getting a pumpkin this year either! The kids usually go to the pumpkin patch with school, but the didn't this year, so we had NONE! I didn't even drag the fake one out of the attic!
