Halloween Pumpkin Facial Mask
Robert Doyle READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Created by beauty guru and author of "Bonding Over Beauty," Erika Katz (www.bondingoverbeauty.com), this pumpkin Halloween mask is full of exfoliating enzymes that brighten the skin so it won't look too "scary" this fall season.
Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which is very healing to the skin and is essential to maintain and repair skin tissue. Pumpkin also helps reduce lines and wrinkles.
Honey is a humectant, helping the skin retain water. The cream moisturizes and helps flaky skin.
A beauty writer and blogger as well as a former child model and actress, Erika Katz has been a beauty junkie nearly all her life. Using her experience from her days working in the beauty department at Seventeen, cosmetology classes, and lessons learned through her extensive work in television and modeling, Erika created a beauty guide that served as the foundation for 'Bonding Over Beauty, A Mother-Daughter Guide to Self-Esteem, Confidence and Trust."
