Daily Detox: Behold the Pumpkin Facial

I just finished my last batch of pumpkin soup made from pumpkins I grew in my garden. A couple perfect specimens are carved with scary faces to light up Halloween (even though I’m almost the only one celebrating here in Germany, oh well!).

If I had found this Pumpkin Facial Recipe before serving or carving up my last pumpkin of the season, I would’ve set a few aside to try this…

From Country Home, Whip up your own pumpkin-powered mask:

Combine 3 teaspoons pumpkin, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon milk. Apply mixture to face (avoid eye area) and leave on for ten minutes. Rinse with warm water and apply moisturizer.

Doesn’t that sound deliciously indulging? Homemade pick-me-ups are great because you control the ingredients meaning no chemicals, raw foods come with less packaging, you can buy local and organic and it’s less expensive. Living green can be so aaaaahhhh, don’t you think?
