PALESTINE - It’s pumpkin season. There’s
jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin pies, pumpkin breads, pumpkin
soups, pumpkin bars — and in Palestine, pumpkin treatments
galore.
Now pumpkins have
expanded from their usual festivals and dinner tables into
beauty counters and spa stores.
And it isn't just
about marketing strategy either, because pumpkins can
actually benefit the skin, especially as an exfoliator.
Pumpkin promotes good health and wellness through sustenance
and scent, but it also provides numerous benefits when
applied to the skin. Pumpkin is “one of the richest sources
of alpha carotene for a skin plumping effect on collagen.”
At Jamie's Therapeutic Touch day Spa, the spa has
introduced new arrangement of Pumpkin Spice treatments:
Pumpkin Pie Anti Aging Facial, The pumpkin pie foot
Pampering Treatment, Pumpkin facial and body peel, Pumpkin
Spice Body weight loss wrap, Pumpkin Spice Body Glow,
Pumpkin Spice Bath Soak, Pumpkin Honey Mask, Pumpkin
Spice Whipped Body Butter, a pumpkin pedicure and a pumpkin
manicure — to repair and prep skin for the harsh winter
season ahead.
"A pumpkin peel is really good to do
at the end of the winter, because it will slough off all the
dead skin and get your skin ready for the spring," said
Jamie Rhone, owner /esthetician /massage therapist at
Jamie's Therapeutic Touch day spa.
Other benefits
include softening, tightening, hydrating, and cleansing the
skin, Rhone said.
To celebrate autumn, Rhone
recommend a pumpkin-based spa treatment to promote the
healthy glow in your skin. Pumpkin is rich in plant enzymes
which act as a natural exfoliant that gently removes dead
skin cells. Pumpkin's rich carotenoid antioxidants
neutralize free radicals, attacking the molecules that are
responsible for premature aging. The ultimate benefit of a
pumpkin spa treatment is to repair dull, sun damaged skin
and to re-nourish it with vitamins and minerals leaving the
skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Pumpkin glycolic peels,
for instance, smooth the skin, refine pores, eliminate hyper
pigmentation and prepare the skin for both moisturizers and
makeup. Full body exfoliation in the form of a sugar or salt
scrub is an excellent preparation for winter faux tanning.
