DIY Vegan Pumpkin Face Mask

Cut a pumpkin into cubes and puree in a blender to make pumpkin puree.

A pumpkin mask is an extremely healthy concoction for your face. The pumpkin puree contains a slew of healthy elements, including vitamins, minerals and a strong dose of beneficial antioxidants. Pumpkin also has powerful enzymes that eat away at dead skin cells, leaving your skin soft and rejuvenated. Using additional vegan ingredients, such as soy yogurt and brown sugar, adds to the benefits of the mask, while ensuring it doesn't include any products that are derived from animals.
