You like pumpkin spice? well, why don't you... put it on your face??

Happy Fall! If the colder weather has you thinking of pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin carving... there's a facial mask that looks and smells exactly like pumpkin pie filling. Enter Andalou Naturals Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask! (Amazon, $12.00)

Not only does is smell good enough to eat, it has amazing, natural ingredients:

Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Puree, Aloe Barbadensis Juice, Aqua, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Manuka Honey, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Juice, Pectin, Glycolic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum, Malus Domestica (Apple), Solar Vitis (Grape) and Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Fruit Stem Cell Cultures and BioActive 8 Berry Complex, Lecithin, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane), Calophyllum Tacamahaca (Tamanu) and Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Oils, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) ExtractA , Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cinnamomum Cassia (Cinnamon), Myristica Fragrans (Nutmeg), Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) and Pimento Officinalis (Allspice) Powders Organic

I know!!! I can tell you what almost all of those are!! 😀

This mask is used for brightening and refining skin tone. All the fruit ingredients are natural sources of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids, which is great for clearing skin). It's meant to be used 1 to 3 times a week. I usually use it about once. It stings a bit when you first put it on, but that subsides after a minute or so. I usually leave it on for about half an hour and then rinse it off (manufacturer recommends 10 minutes). I've never broken out from this mask (and I usually do whenever glycolic acid is an ingredient), but because of the stinging when you first apply it, I would not recommend it to people with very sensitive skin. 

How to Use:

Evening use. Wash face and remove makeup. On clean face, apply a thin amount, avoiding eye and lip areas. Don't use on a sunburn or severely irritated skin. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse with cool water. Use 1 to 3 times a week. A slight stinging sensation is normal, but should subside after a minute. 

If your face is missing its healthy glow from being out in the sun, this is a good mask to brighten things up! 

Literally... pie on your face! :)
