Pumpkins Are Not Just for Carving – Beauty Remedies for the Skin
It’s the middle of October and undoubtedly that means two things: Fall is here to stay and Halloween or Fall Harvest season is on its way. Scare crows, dried-out corn stalks, lavish or silly costumes and of course the abundance of pumpkins. Used traditionally to decorate porch stairs or adorn windows as jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins are known for their vibrant colors and textures. But did you know, pumpkins are also know for their skin repair properties?
Pumpkins are low in calories and fat (a double bonus) are known for their rich beta-carotene nutrients which have been known to reverse skin damage caused by the sun and reduce the signs of aging. Pumpkins also contain fiber, folate, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and protein–all of which provide the body with healthy nutrients it needs.
Pumpkins are more than objects to be carved and displayed for the fall season, they are one of nature’s wondrous tools to help keep our skin looking its best. Want to get your age reducing shot of pumpkin? Try this deliciously splendid marvel named Pumpkin Yogurt Crunch. Yummy!

I love pumpkins! Thanks for letting us in on some of the secret benefits (that I had no idea about, by the way). I’m going to hop over to read Jennifer’s article…reducing the signs of aging and repairing skin damage sounds like something I may be interested in.
Haha! Shelly, you’re absolutely right. I had no idea about all of the health benefits of pumpkins either. Jennifer really did an outstanding job on giving us the real deal on pumpkins. I’m planning to eat them a lot more this year.
