Tis the season! Aside from our amazing hairstylists - this season we are thankful for: Pumpkin. That's right! Turns out this tasty treat has serious benefits for hair and skin.
So it's the day after Thanksgiving and you've had a small love affair with pumpkin for the past few months: Pumpkin Spice lattes at Starbucks, pumpkin patch visits, scooping the goop out of a freshly carved 'kin - post visit, roasting the seeds for a snack, and engorging yourself with all the pumpkin pie you can handle at Thanksgiving dinner. The thought of it might make you cringe at this point - but I'm here to tell you not to smash your pumpkin just yet!
Pumpkin enzymes contain omega acids, which make it a powerful antioxidant that aids in hydrating, soothing, and regenerating the skin and hair. With winter rolling in, it would be wise to keep in your beauty arsenal with those healing qualities!
Products We Love:
Healthy Sexy Hair has a pumpkin line for hair AND skin that includes a body wash, soap, body lotion, shampoos, conditioners, hair masque, therapeutic styling spray, and styling creme. The products are packed with vitamins and amino acids that protect against harsh winter weather, as well as free radical damage.
Bambu Earth concocted an organic facial scrub consisting of pumpkin, oatmeal, and corn meal that helps remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate the skin underneath with essential nutrients. The result is silky soft skin that smells good enough to eat!
If you're unfamiliar with Philosophy bath products, they come in a variety of indulgent scents and serve 3 purposes: Shampoo, Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath. The Homemade Pumpkin Pie scent will have you craving a slice of your very own, all while providing nutritious benefits for your skin & hair. While killing 3 birds with 1 stone, study the recipe on the front and make the scent a reality.
In lieu of the fall season and Black Friday bonanzas, get re'pumped' for all things pumpkin! Your hair and skin will thank you this winter.
For the love of hair,
Staci
