Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked pumpkin pie this time of year? It’s certainly delicious but did you know that pumpkin has true health benefits, too? Pumpkin, otherwise known as Cururbita Pepo, was first cultivated in Mexico and eaten as early as 7,000-5,500 BC.
Pumpkin contains over 100 beneficial nutrients as well as minerals and vitamins such as niacin, riboflavin, vitamins C and A, zinc, beta-carotene, lactic and ascorbic acids. All of these nutrients make it a powerhouse to reverse the signs of aging on the skin. The lactic acids work to improve cell turnover and exfoliation and the vitamins soften and nourish the skin.
Our aesthetic team at Atagi Plastic Surgery & Atagi Skin Aesthetics recommends the Pumpkin Enzyme Facial. It is a high impact facial that combines all the benefits of pumpkin with salicylic acid. The synergy of the salicylic acid to break down the top layer of the skin, combined with the healing nutrients of the pumpkin, leaves the skin radiant and hydrated. Also, the molecular structure of pumpkin is small, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin, giving the skin a glow from the inside out.
Don’t let the change of season reek havoc on your skin; the Pumpkin Enzyme Facial is your answer. We recommend having a Pumpkin Enzyme Facial done every 3-4 weeks for optimal results. Once you have tried this treatment, you will realize that pumpkin isn’t just for pies!
