Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of our podcast, Plants, Flowers,
Oils and Whimsy. I'm your host, Carrie Sharf. In today's episode,
we have a special fall themed lineup for you. We'll
start with a fun DIY pumpkin face mask recipe you
can make at home. Then we'll talk about the amazing
benefits pumpkin can have for your skin, and to wrap
(00:24):
things up, I'll share some extra skincare tips perfect for
the fall season. Stay tuned. As we all know, our
skin goes through many changes as we age. Fine lines, wrinkles,
and a loss of elasticity are just some of the
issues we might notice over time. It's natural, but that
doesn't mean we can't support and nourish our mature skin
to keep it looking its best. That's where this magical
(00:46):
fall ingredient Pumpkin comes in. Pumpkin is not only great
for pies and lattes, but also a fantastic addition to
your skincare routine. This vibrant ingredient is packed with skin
loving nutrients that can work wonders, especially for mature skin.
First up, we have enzymes. Pumpkin enzymes gently exfoliate the skin,
removing dead skin cells and unveiling the fresher, younger skin underneath.
(01:10):
Think of it as a natural sloughing away of the
old to make way for the new. The next star
nutrients are vitamins A and C. Vitamin A also known
as retinal and vitamin C are powerhouse ingredients for brightening
the skin and promoting collagen production. This means more firmness
and a glowing complexion, which is exactly what we want
as our skin matures. And let's not forget the antioxidants.
(01:33):
Pumpkins are rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals,
those pesky molecules that can speed up the aging process.
By neutralizing free radicals, antioxidants help protect the skin from
damage and ensure it stays healthy and resilient. So there
you have it. Pumpkin is truly a multitasking hero for
aging skin, offering exfoliation, brightening, firming, and protection all in one.
(01:56):
Incorporating pumpkin into your skin care routine can make a
noticeable difference, helping your skin look rejuvenated and glowing. So
why not give it a try this fall. Now, let's
switch gears and talk about an easy and effective DIY
pumpkin face mask recipe that you can whip up right
in your kitchen. Here's what you'll need. Two tablespoons of
pure pumpkin pure, one teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of
(02:20):
plain yogurt, and, if you're feeling a bit adventurous, a
pinch of cinnamon for an extra kick. To prepare the mask,
simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl until you
get a smooth, well blended mixture. Trust me, the combination
of these ingredients feels and smells heavenly. When you're ready
to apply, make sure your skin is clean and dry.
Gently spread the mixture over your face, making sure to
(02:42):
avoid the delicate eye area. Let it sit for about
ten to fifteen minutes. This will give the mask enough
time to work its magic, but don't get too comfy.
You might want to set a timer so you don't
forget after the time is up. Rinse off the mask
with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a
soft towel. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock
(03:03):
in all that goodness. You should notice immediate results, softer,
smoother skin with a lovely, healthy glow. It's like a
mini spa treatment without having to leave the house, give
it a try, and let your skin soak up all
those wonderful nutrients from the pumpkin, honey, and yogurt. Now,
let's get into some bonus fall skincare tips to help
(03:25):
keep your skin looking its best during the cooler months.
First up, hydration is key. As the temperature drops, our
skin can easily become dry and parched. Drink plenty of
water and add herbal teas to your routine to stay
hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated skin is happy skin. Next,
let's talk about exfoliation. Gentle exfoliation is important year round,
but can be especially beneficial in the fall. Aim to
(03:48):
exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle scrub
or an enzyme based exfoliant. This helps to remove dead
skin cells and allows your skin care products to penetrate
more effectively. Another tip is protecting your skin barrier. The
fall weather can be harsh on your skin, so it's
crucial to use nourishing oils or creams to keep your
skin barrier intact. Look for products that contain ingredients like seramides,
(04:11):
fatty acids, and natural oils. These will help to lock
in moisture and protect your skin from the elements. Lastly,
don't forget about SPF. Just because it's not summer doesn't
mean you can skip the sunscreen. Harmful UV rays can
still affect your skin in the colder months, so make
sure to apply a broad spectrum SPF daily. Your skin
will thank you for it. So there you have it.
(04:32):
Some additional skincare tips perfect for the fall season. Stay hydrated, exfoliate, gently,
protect your skin barrier, and always use SPF. As we
come to a close, I encourage all of you to
try out the DIY Pumpkin mask and incorporate these skincare
tips into your fall routine. Your skin will thank you
for the extra love and care. Also, don't forget to
grab your free guide, the Herbal Skincare Quick Start Guide.

The link is in the show notes. Thank you so
much for tuning in. It's always a pleasure to share
these insights with you. This has been Plants, Flowers, Oils
and Whimsy by Carey Sharf. Until next time, take care
and stay radiant.
