Our Jack-O-Lantern Beauty Mask is soothing and powerful. Each ingredient will help support your skin, let’s take a deeper look at them.
Raw honey is great for your skin because of its antioxidants. It also has many antibacterial properties that can reduce acne. The raw honey opens up your pores which makes it easier to unclog them. Antioxidants have anti-aging properties and help to give your skin that glow that we all strive for.
Sea buckthorn berry oil provides great skin support. The berry oil contains omega 7 which is essential for cellular health and moisture. Sea buckthorn oil has been used to help recover skin from various conditions. Many people use them for issues like eczema, burns, wounds, skin damaging effects of sun, and more. To top it all off, pumpkin has some benefits of its own.
Loaded with vitamins and enzymes that rejuvenate the skin, pumpkin is the star of this seasonal mask. With a powerful combination of vitamins A and C, raw pumpkin puree is great for softening as well as soothing skin. Vitamin C can boost collagen production, which prevents the signs of aging. Vitamin A can help your skin and mucous membranes repel bacteria.
