Pumpkin Yummy!

Hello glo girls (and guys)...it's been awhile! I was out on vacay (warm, sunny Hawaii I miss you already) but am back and ready to get down to beauty business!

Now that fall is in full swing it is time to get your skin prepped for winter (yes coldness is lurking right around the corner). I have a few skin treatments that I highly recommend around this time of year. Over the next few days I'll post multiple ‘recipes’ for your skin – feel free to mix and mix and match ingredients. All of these can be done at home, but if you are looking for a little pampering check your local spa for treatments that involve these glotherapeutics products. My first good-skin concoction is what I shall call … pumpkin yummy! We are just weeks away from the only holiday were you have every reason to stuff yourself silly with all kinds of edible goodies…but mainly pumpkin pie. There are many other good uses for this delish orange vegetable….pumpkin pudding, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup…but pumpkin pie has always been my personal favorite. Until I used gloPumpkin Enzyme Scrub.

Besides the fact the first time I smelled it I wanted to eat it (which in my book is a good thing), it effectively exfoliated my skin without any irritation and left my face looking luminous! Pumpkin enzymes, which are full of antioxidants and Vitamin A, help to break down dead skin cells while date seeds and jojoba beads provide extremely gentle physical exfoliation. The texture is creamy and doesn’t feel harsh on the skin like a lot of scrubs, which is great news for my sensitive skin. And an added bonus is that it contains ingredients that are helping strengthen and condition the skin, so it’s not leaving your precious face stripped after you rinse it off. I’ve paired the gloPumpkin Enzyme Scrub with the new gloConditioning Restorative Mask for this super simple 2-step treatment. The mask is full of all kinds of goodness to further strengthen and hydrate the skin – acai, black currant, wild yam and shiitake extract just to name a few. It also one of the top smelling glotherapeutics products – yes I said smelling. I have strict criteria that my skincare products must meet and smelling wonderful is one of them. Ridiculous? I think not.

On to the regimen…
Gently massage a small amount of gloPumpkin Enzyme Scrub on to dampened skin. Leave on for 5-10 to allow the enzymes to do their job, then rinse off. Dry face with a soft towel. Apply a thin layer of gloConditioning Restorative Mask and leave for 10 minutes. After your 10 minutes is up massage into skin and ta-da…done! Does it get any easier than that?!

If you want to complicate things here’s another option. Rinse the mask off after 10 minutes and dry face. Apply a glotherapeutics serum (gloSuper Serum or gloRenew Serum are great choices to get skin back in shape after summer) and allow a moment to let it absorb into skin. Lather on a nourishing moisturizer like gloConditioning Hydration Cream or even richer gloConditioning Restorative Cream and then enjoy the rest of your evening knowing your damaged summer skin will soon be radiant again! Stay tuned…another treatment recommendation coming your way in the next day or two…
