Why I don’t reach for products that highlight the pumpkin ingredient throughout the year and not just around Thanksgiving? I’ll never know! I mean, it’s rich in vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as fatty acids, so it’s super good for the skin, and it’s wonderful as a natural skin exfoliator.

The latest one I’m touting is MYCHELLE Incredible Pumpkin Peel. Isn’t that title a hoot? Mascaras do it all the time, so why not skin care products? It tells it like it is and it pretty much doesn’t lie. Not only does the formula exfoliate nicely with a combination of pumpkin pulp, pineapple, natural enzymes and fermented juice but it makes my skin feel so soft afterward, which must partially be from the honey inside. And I must say my skin feels softer than most manual exfoliators I have used.

But remember that just because it has natural ingredients inside doesn’t mean it can’t irritate the skin if you are sensitive, so do a patch test before using this one.
