Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater! Well, this time, the pumpkin eats Peter thanks to these amazing enzyme exfoliating masks.
There are so many reasons why you need to pay extra attention to your skincare routine this fall. In the colder months, you need nourishing ingredients to hydrate and plump up your skin, and with all the Halloween celebrations going on, your face will need a mask or two to prep and recover post-party.
Enzyme Exfoliation
Extracted from fruits and rice, enzymes digest dead protein material on the skin (a.k.a. old cells) and are one of the mildest exfoliation methods, with less risk of irritation than acids. These pumpkin beauty products have a healthy dose of enzymes and nutrients that’ll keep you glowing through fall. With vitamin A, C, and E, antioxidants, zinc, and potassium, pumpkin is a natural skin superhero. It fights sun damage, wrinkles, and the AHAs fruit enzymes will help naturally exfoliate dead skin cells. Pumpkin’s high levels of vitamins A and C also help reduce skin inflammation and promote collagen production. The zinc and potassium are also great at combating redness, so these exfoliators are great even for sensitive skin!
This pumpkin enzyme masks will give you a luminous glow—so much that you’ll never overlook your extra jack-o’-lantern filling again.

The pumpkin seed oil in this mask is filled with restorative minerals—plus vitamins A, K, and C— which gently exfoliates and hydrates skin for a brighter, balanced complexion. It also contains Apricot seed powder, a natural and gentle mild exfoliant that sweeps away dead skin cells. The Oat kernel protein has anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties and leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized. It also contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects the skin from collagen-damaging free radicals—a primary culprit in the aging process. Sweet almond oil also has anti-inflammatory proprieties and reduces the appearance of acne scars and uneven texture.
How to use it: Cleanse and tone the skin and wait until the skin is fully dry. Then, apply a thick layer and massage in circular motions for 60 seconds (avoiding the eye area). Leave on for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water. We always recommend a patch test first just to be safe. If this is your first time using an enzyme exfoliator, leave it on for 5 minutes the first time just to see how your skin reacts.
