DIY Pumpkin Face Mask

• Full of vitamins, zinc, potassium, and beneficial enzymes, pumpkin can make a fun face mask. 
• 1/4 cup cooked pumpkin puree (fresh is best, but canned can be used in a pinch), 2 teaspoons pumpkin seed oil, 1 tablespoon honey, a dash of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix  all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl or blend for a silkier texture. Wash face and apply mask. Alternatively, use as a hand/foot mask. For sensitive skin, leave mask on for 3-5 minutes. For regular skin, leave mask on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and follow with your favorite toner and moisturizer. Can keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. (source)
