Pumpkin Fever

It's that time of year again and pumpkin coffee, cakes and products are popping up everywhere. I just saw pumpkin Greek yogurt at Trader Joe's the other day!! Yum. Pumpkins are in season and there is good reason to include this vegetable not only in your diet but also in your skin care regime. Pumpkin is rich in alpha and beta carotenes, important antioxidants that boost immunity and slow the aging process. They are also rich in Vitamins C and E which benefit tired and stressed skin, B5 to balance hormone levels and lutein to protect from oxidative damage. On top of all that pumpkins also provide the skin with fatty acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron to balance fluid levels, soothe, soften and elasticize the skin and treat wrinkles and dehydration. That's a lot of good reasons to join in the PUMPKIN FEVER!!

Living at the beach, our skin can become dehydrated during the summer and the damaging rays of the sun can speed up the aging process. With the cool and drier winter months approaching, this is the best time of year to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin.
