Enzyme Envy: How do the enzymes in pumpkin work? Similar to an alpha-hydroxy acid, they dissolve the dead skin cells that line the epidermis, or top layer of skin, which can cause a dull or lackluster appearance if not exfoliated away. In addition, the enzymes in pumpkin encourage new cell turnover and growth, making this treatment especially effective for acneic or aging skin. Pumpkin also features a high percentage of vitamin A and beta carotene, giving the fruit its distinctive orange color, and also providing anti-aging and anti-oxidant benefits to the skin when applied topically. Even more exciting, pumpkin products are safe for use by all skin types.

Pumpkin Treatments: Reach for treatment products that also incorporate the exceptional anti-oxidant properties of this colorful gourd. Dry skin will remain hydrated and protected all day with a day cream containing pumpkin. And don't forget the eyes. Pumpkin and peptides found in hydrating eye treatments will keep the skin supple while combating fine lines and dark circles.

Finally, for a full-body treat, try a pumpkin scented body wash or exfoliating scrub for smooth and hydrated skin all over. So much more than merely fruit, pumpkin is a versatile, safe and effective skincare ingredient that offers benefits to all skin types, and all areas of the body. Investigate this scrumptious fruit for a sweet skincare treat!

Proper nutrition provides our bodies with an endless plethora of benefits, such as clear skin, shiny hair, strong bones, and a healthy physique. But consistent and good nutrition can also benefit an often overlooked part of the body-the fingernails. Nail health is dependent upon many factors, including diet. A lack of B-complex vitamins is known to produce ridges along the nail bed, while a shortage of calcium causes dryness. A diet low in folic acid or vitamin C may create unwanted hangnails, and the dearth of essential fatty acids, such as omega-3, causes nails to crack and pit. Iron deficiency can cause thin, concave nails and with aging comes a sallow, yellowish color and slower growth. With balanced nutrition and a little bit of TLC, dry, ragged or damaged fingernails can become a thing of the past.
