Pumpkin peel to rejuvenate the skin is becoming more popular day by day. It is reported to contain more than 100 beneficial nutrients that are of great help to reverse aging signs. Pumpkin has antioxidants and enzymes that act like alpha hydroxyl acids, which are known to promote smoother, younger looking and healthy skin by improving healthy cell growth.

You can buy this peel from various sources. Of course, a professionally made pumpkin skin peel would have all the requirements met for a desirable effect but if you want to make pumpkin chemical peel at home, you have this possibility open too. Let’s see more about this issue.
Homemade Pumpkin Remedies
Here is a simple pumpkin facial mask that can cleanse and rejuvenate your facial skin, effectively and safely. Take two tablespoons of pumpkin puree, half teaspoon raw honey, one-tablespoon plain yogurt or you can even take olive oil. You have to mix the ingredients thoroughly before applying to the face and neck. Leave the mix on the treated area for about ten minutes and then wash off with warm water.
As another recipe, take two teaspoons cooked or canned pureed pumpkin, quarter teaspoon soymilk or milk, and half-teaspoon honey. Mix thoroughly and apply to the face while avoiding the eyes. Wash off with warm water after 10 to 15 minutes. You can apply some moisturizer to the treated area.
How to Make Pumpkin Peel, More details
Take three tablespoons of canned pumpkin puree and add some brown sugar, one teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of cream for lactic acid, and little cinnamon. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and apply; leave the mix there for about 20 minutes. You can put another layer after a while. Wash it off with warm water, and find the difference. You will notice the skin becomes soft, fine lines become less visible, and the skin looks healthier.
You can also use crushed aspirin, lactic acid, vitamin E, glycolic acid, cinnamon and pimento powders with fresh pumpkin to make a peel. If you are having very sensitive skin, you can use just aspirin with pumpkin puree.
Points to Note
Though pumpkin peel treatment is not normally associated with harsh side effects or reactions, you have to do the treatment carefully. Start the treatment carefully and note any reaction to your skin. Some skins are very sensitive in nature and may not tolerate even the mildest peel, or some skin act negatively to some ingredients. Therefore, taking precautions in the beginning could avoid any undesirable results. Moreover, if you are allergic to some ingredients, avoid them and replace them with other ones.
Making pumpkin facial peel or mask at home may not seem to be a difficult task, however, professionally made pumpkin peels have their own significance. If you don’t find desirable results with what you prepare, better buy the peel from a good supplier.
