DIY Pumpkin Spice Bath Tea, for an Autumn Soak

Is Pumpkin Seed Oil Good for Your Skin?

Pressed from the unhusked seeds of pumpkin, the oil contains an abundance of nutrients for the skin. For starters, pumpkin seed oil is a rich source of vitamin E, which has powerful effects on the skin’s appearance and texture (source). It also contains antioxidants, zinc, and omega-fatty acids. All of these work together to help our skin maintain a youthful appearance (source).
