Treasure Hunt: Pumpkin Facial

10/22/2008
Thumbnail image for audrina-patridge-pumpkin-face-mask-102208.jpg Fall is one of my favorite times of year, so I thought I would share with you one very fall beauty secret... Pumpkin! It is so good for your skin because it is full of antioxidants and vitamins. Here is a recipe for a pumpkin mask and a pumpkin spice scrub for you guys to try that I found at care2.com. Try them and let me know what you think! Both are posted after the jump.

Pumpkin Facial Mask
2 teaspoons cooked or canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon milk (or whipping cream, if your skin is very dry)

1. Combine ingredients and apply to a clean face with gentle circular motions, avoiding the area around your eyes.

2. Allow mask to remain on skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply your usual moisturizer.

Pumpkin, Sugar, and Spice Scrub
1/2 cup cooked or canned pumpkin, pureed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Combine ingredients in a bowl.

2. Stand in a tub or shower stall and use a damp washcloth to scoop some of the mixture up. Apply to body, starting with your feet and working your way up, but avoiding your face. Scrub gently using circular motions.

3. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

hey im a big fan!!
I was wondering, what you think is the biggest difference between the west and eastern shores?


Pumpkin??? Wow I'm so going to try this. Ha ha, I'm just imagining my boyfriends face when he ask's what the hell im doing with pumpkin all over my face!!! He thought avacado was weird!


Oh I LOVE the mask! I've used it before, but I haven't used the scrub. Can't wait to start! I bought 3 pumpkins to carve for Halloween, so I'll have to save the pulp when I hollow them out. Thanks, Audrina!


wow this sounds great:)
thanks Audrina♥


wow i didn't know this but i'm definitely going to try it! thanks audrina!!!! :D

Great advice! I never knew that...


WTF? Fall is one of your favorite times of year? When that warm LA air drops to a brisk 70, and you have to bring a light jacket with you at night, but you don't really have to wear it because it's still pretty nice out?


Wow thats real nice. hope ya fine.


your so cute and fun, I love the new Mask and this pumkin picture too. Hey Audrina someone is making fake sites up just like this one but a lil different like lagungahookup does with an exclamation point after and so on..and sponsered by laurens people I think you should check it out bc it is making money off you with adds and just not cool. love you bunches.


I love the pumpkin mask! Thanks for the advice Audrina!!


pumpkin?! sounds different but cool i will try it out!


AUDRINA (:
before i ask you for some advice, i'd first like to say that you're my favorite on the Hills, i'm glad you're repping all of us brunettes out there!
i also wanted to ask you for some advice. i'm going off to college soon, and i'm trying to plan my cute dorm room and necessities. you always have such fab style when you decorate your places on the Hills, what tips can you give me about decorating my future dorm room?
Always a fan,
Anna


wow, Pumpkin...sounds interesting. Ill have to try it and see how it works. Thanks girl! xoxo


Oooh, thanks for the tips Audrina! I would have never thought about a pumpkin mask...

xoxo


hey drina, you gotta blog more girl!! but we still love ya xo


Happy HALLOWEEN, ms. Audrina! :)


This blog sucks,she bearly blogs and when she does its so boring. Kim Kardashian blogs everysingle day, you guys should check out her blog: www.kimkardashian.com.


okay so i have to agree with melissa and her comment saying your bearly on your blog.
i know your a busy woman and your always on the go. but come on, update once in a while. you say your too busy to update your myspace and that to come here to your blog, cuz its your baby but homegirl get to stepping.
kim and khloe kardashian are probably busier than you and they update all most everyday.


Hmm pumpkin,so nifty and organic!I think The Hills is so fake,but you seem all about keeping
it real.Keep on rocking your style!


hey audrina :)
i haven't been able to watch the latest series of the hills (im so addicted) becos online they've blocked australia :(
anyways, i loved your style in season 2 or 3 (not that i don't love it now) cos you always wore those dresses and cute sunnies,
anyways, i'll try the pumpkin thingi even though iv never tried pumpkin in my entire life cos its gross, but we'll see :)
thanks alot for the advice !!
xx
