WHY DOES IT WORK?
PUMPKIN
Pumpkin is full of enzymes that rev collagen production and ward off fine lines. It is a good source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten and lighten the skin. Beta-carotene in it helps to reverse UV damage and improve skin tone and elasticity.
SWEET POTATO
Sweet potato is super high in vitamin A, which boosts collagen and reduces wrinkles. Potassium and magnesium in it help in lymphatic drainage which removes toxins and increases blood circulation. It makes a perfect combination with pumpkin and adds a beautiful glow to your skin.
GREEK YOGURT
Yoghurt contains natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. It exfoliates and remove dark, dead skin cells and also expose a layer of fresh, new cells. The lactic acid in yoghurt helps in tightening pores.
CINNAMON
Cinnamon has skin lightening and antibacterial properties. When applied, it increases circulation and fades away acne scars, blemishes, marks and dark spots.
HONEY
Honey is full of antioxidants, helps in slowing down the ageing process. It boosts complexion and provides a natural glow.
