PUMPKIN BEAUTY FAQs
What does pumpkin do for your face?Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, plus zinc and beta-carotene it’s no wonder this hero ingredient is infused in so many pumpkin beauty products.
Working to brighten, even texture, nourish, hydrate and boost collagen production, pumpkin has proven to be a standout skin care ingredient.
Is it better to use pumpkin seed oil at night or morning?
Although safe to use both AM and PM, we would recommend using pumpkin seed oil at night.
Rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, zinc and fatty acids, it supports skin repair that happens while you sleep. Plus, as it’s a heavier face oil it also makes it more comfortable to wear overnight than under makeup during the day.
Does pumpkin have collagen?Although pumpkin doesn’t necessarily contain collagen, it is considered a collagen booster because it has nutrients that help your body make and protect it.
Packed with vitamin C, A, zinc and a range of antioxidants, it provides the building blocks to product and preserve collagen.
More than just a seasonal trend, pumpkin has firmly earned its place in beauty routines thanks to its glow-boosting, collagen-supporting and skin-nourishing properties.
So why limit it to your coffee order? From skincare to makeup and beyond, these pumpkin beauty essentials make autumn the perfect excuse to refresh your ritual… but which ones are you adding to your basket?
