Pumpkin season has arrived! From lattes and pies to cozy candles and autumn décor, this bright orange fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) is everywhere — and for good reason. Beyond its delicious flavor and festive charm, pumpkin is also a powerful natural beauty ingredient.

Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals and antioxidants, pumpkin helps soften, brighten, and renew the skin. Whether you love a DIY beauty moment or simply want to bring more seasonal goodness into your self-care routine, these five easy pumpkin-inspired treatments are perfect for your autumn ritual.

Pumpkin Facial Mask

Pumpkin is suitable for all skin types and provides an instant radiance boost. It’s rich in vitamin A to smooth the skin and vitamin C to promote a healthy glow.

For all skin types:

  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin (canned or fresh)

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • ½ cup plain yogurt

Mix and apply evenly to your face. The natural enzymes in the pumpkin, combined with gentle exfoliation from sugar and yogurt, remove dead skin cells while deeply moisturizing.

For blemish-prone skin:

  • ½ cup pureed pumpkin

  • 1 tbsp apple-cider vinegar

  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

Apply to clean skin and leave on for about 10 minutes. The vinegar helps balance oil, while pumpkin soothes and nourishes.

Tip: Add a few drops of Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil from Living Libations for extra hydration and antioxidant protection. Its rich omega fatty acids and vitamin E content help calm redness and support skin renewal.

2. Pumpkin Body Butter

Pumpkin’s natural enzymes help renew dry skin, making it ideal for autumn’s cooler, drier air.

DIY Pumpkin Body Butter

  • 1 cup coconut oil

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • 1 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg

Whip together until creamy, apply to damp skin, and let sit for 10–15 minutes before rinsing.

Upgrade it naturally: Replace half of the coconut oil with Living Libations Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil for a richer, more restorative body treatment. The lush, green-gold oil deeply nourishes and leaves skin feeling silky and rejuvenated.

3. Pumpkin Lip Scrub

Cold wind and dry air can make lips feel chapped and dull. A nourishing lip exfoliator keeps them soft and smooth.

Pumpkin Lip Scrub

  • ¼ cup pureed pumpkin

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp olive or pumpkin-seed oil

Gently massage onto your lips in circular motions, then rinse with warm water. Finish with your favorite balm for long-lasting moisture.

4. Pumpkin Foot Treatment

After a long summer in sandals, your feet deserve some autumn TLC. Pumpkin’s natural acids help smooth rough areas, while its nutrients deeply hydrate the skin.

Simple Foot Treatment:

  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree

  • 2 tbsp natural balm or plant oil

Massage into your feet before bed and slip on cotton socks. For an even deeper treatment, use Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil as your base — its omega-rich profile softens calluses and restores suppleness overnight.

Pumpkin Foot Mask:

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree

  • 1 egg

  • A splash of milk (optional)

  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

Apply to feet and calves, wrap in plastic or towels, and let sit 15–20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and enjoy silky-soft results.

5. Pumpkin Hair Mask

Just like your skin, your hair can become dry and dull in the fall. Pumpkin adds moisture, shine, and softness thanks to its vitamins and natural oils.

Pumpkin Hair Mask:

  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin

  • ½ cup yogurt

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil

Blend until smooth, apply from roots to ends, and cover with a shower cap. Leave for 15–20 minutes, then rinse and follow with a gentle shampoo. The result: soft, glossy, deeply conditioned hair.

A Final Word on Pumpkin Beauty

Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and lattes — it’s a true autumn beauty secret. Whether you craft your own nourishing recipes or choose ready-made botanical skincare, pumpkin delivers essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants that help your skin and hair thrive during the cooler months.

If DIY isn’t your thing, or you prefer a single, versatile product, try Living Libations Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil. This cold-pressed, organic oil is rich in omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, all eight types of vitamin E, and natural carotenoids. Use it as a face oil, hair treatment, or body moisturizer to enjoy pumpkin’s skin-loving benefits in their purest form.

Celebrate the season with the warmth, color, and nourishment of nature — and let pumpkin become your autumn essential for glowing, happy skin.
