I think we can all agree that pumpkin has become the unofficial mascot for the autumn season. What was once just a cute fall activity has now become a phenomenon as pumpkins are no longer restricted to being picked from patches and turned into jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.

As soon as September and October hit, this staple fall vegetable can be found anywhere and everywhere. Thanks to the insane popularity of PSL‘s and pumpkin pie, you can now get basically anything in a pumpkin spice flavour. However, one area you might not expect to find pumpkin is in your beauty products.

It turns out that pumpkin is good for more than just pies, lattes, and jack-o-lanterns. This round and orange gourd is full of vitamins and antioxidants that, when used in beauty and skincare products, pumpkin can help deliver serious results.

Here are just a few of our favourite pumpkin beauty products!

Did you know that pumpkin is packed with zinc which helps to stimulate cell renewal? That means that it can help you attain smoother and more radiant looking skin, and as an added bonus, the pumpkin provides this mask with a delicious natural fragrance.
