Generally speaking, we usually associate pumpkins with holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving, not skincare treatments. Given the amazing effects on the skin, skin experts have formulated a pumpkin facial. But exactly what is a pumpkin facial and what types of results can you expect?

What Is a Pumpkin Facial and Benefits?

A pumpkin facial is a skincare treatment that uses pumpkin enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients to exfoliate, brighten, and nourish the skin. This facial is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, along with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). As such, pumpkin helps in removing dead skin cells, improving skin texture, and boosting collagen production. In short, you could even say that it is a gentle chemical peel.

Since this facial contains vitamins A, C, E, and E, it’s a great source of nutrients. When used in a chemical peel, pumpkin nutrients provide numerous benefits and results for the skin.

Here are a few of the benefits a pumpkin facial brings:

• Makes the skin brighter
• Reduces acne
• Diminishes dark spots
• Provides anti-aging benefits
• Treats dry skin

Treatment Cost

The price varies depending on your cosmetic provider’s location and experience level. At Magnolia Medical & Aesthetics, the cost of a pumpkin facial for the month of October is $89.

Pumpkin Facial Results

The results of a pumpkin facial are immediate and long-lasting. After a session, the skin often appears brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. Over time, regular treatments can help reduce fine lines, and improve skin tone. It also minimizes the appearance of blemishes and dark spots. Many people notice a significant improvement in skin clarity and radiance after just one session. Experts at Magnolia Medical & Aesthetics recommend at least three treatments spaced three weeks apart for more dramatic results.

What You Can Expect During Treatment

The pumpkin facial treatment is a quick, in-office treatment that requires no preparation.

First, your cosmetic provider thoroughly cleans your face to remove all makeup and impurities. Then they apply the pumpkin enzyme peel to your skin, massage it for a few minutes, and leave it on for another few minutes. Finally, the cosmetic provider washes the peel with water and applies a moisturizer for your particular skin type.

No special aftercare is required after a pumpkin peel. You can resume your regular activities, including sports. However, because your skin will be more sensitive and vulnerable to damage, you should avoid the sun immediately after treatment. In fact, apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for at least 3 days after your treatment. You can also wear a hat.

Conclusion

The pumpkin facial is a gentle cosmetic treatment that transforms dull, aging skin to reveal a brighter, more youthful complexion. It is safe, and all skin types can enjoy its benefits.
