Nothing beats the spicy aromas of pumpkin, apples, cinnamon and ginger in the fall. It’s probably one of the reasons I love this time of year much! If you’re considering a fall spa treatment or products to tantalize your senses, rest assured knowing that there are healthy benefits of Pumpkin Apples, Cinnamon and Ginger.
In skin care, Ginger and Cinnamon are warming, and increases circulation and creates a warming sensation which allows the skin to release toxins and generate fresh, new skin cells. Cinnamon is contains anti bacterial, anti fungal, and antiseptic qualities.
Don’t feel so guilty for that second slice of Pumpkin pie! Pumpkin is loaded with essential antioxidants and carotenes, which fight off cancer causing free radicals. When used on the skin, it has the same antioxidant properties, combats fine lines and adds moisture for soft, supple skin.
