Audrina Patridge’s Pumpkin Face Mask

November 6, 2008

The Hill’s beauty Audrina Patridge revealed a recipe she found for a Pumpkin Face Mask, and a Pumpkin Body Scrub. “It is so good for your skin because it is full of antioxidants and vitamins.”

The ingredients are all natural and you can make it in your own kitchen. Here are the recipes… you’ll be tempted to take a lick!

Pumpkin Facial Mask
2 teaspoons cooked or canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon milk (or whipping cream, if your skin is very dry)

1. Combine ingredients and apply to a clean face with gentle circular motions, avoiding the area around your eyes.

2. Allow mask to remain on skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply your usual moisturizer.

Pumpkin, Sugar, and Spice Scrub
1/2 cup cooked or canned pumpkin, pureed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Combine ingredients in a bowl.

2. Stand in a tub or shower stall and use a damp washcloth to scoop some of the mixture up. Apply to body, starting with your feet and working your way up, but avoiding your face. Scrub gently using circular motions.

3. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
