Mantra’s DIY Pumpkin Face Mask Recipe

Pamper Yourself This Fall with Mantra’s DIY Pumpkin Face Mask Recipe

At Mantra Fitness, we know that wellness goes beyond your time in the studio. Just like our workouts strengthen your body, self-care rituals help strengthen your mind and soul. As we shift into cooler weather, it’s important to give your skin some extra attention. The changing seasons can cause dryness or irritation, making it a great time to indulge in a nourishing face mask.

This DIY Fall face mask is packed with natural, seasonal ingredients that not only feel luxurious but also offer skin-loving benefits. Plus, it’s easy to whip up with items you probably already have in your kitchen!


Benefits of a DIY Pumpkin Face Mask

Here are just a few reasons to incorporate a homemade face mask into your routine:

  • Hydration: Ingredients like honey and avocado are rich in moisture and help to lock it into your skin, leaving it soft and supple.
  • Gentle Exfoliation: Seasonal fruits like pumpkin contain natural enzymes that gently exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion.
  • Antioxidants: Many fall ingredients, such as pumpkin and cinnamon, are packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals and help keep your skin healthy.
  • Relaxation: Taking a few moments to apply a face mask is the perfect excuse to slow down, relax, and practice mindfulness.

Benefits of Pumpkin for Your Skin:

  • Vitamin A to soften and smooth the skin
  • Vitamin C for a brightening boost and collagen support
  • Natural enzymes to exfoliate gently, helping to reveal a glowing complexion

Perfect for all skin types, this mask helps refresh and rejuvenate tired skin—ideal for that cozy fall self-care routine!


DIY Fall Face Mask Recipe

Here’s the part you’ve been waiting for! Below is the recipe for our seasonal face mask that you can enjoy this fall.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons canned or cooked pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, no additives)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (for hydration and antibacterial properties)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for circulation boost—use sparingly and skip if you have sensitive skin)
  • 1 teaspoon plain Greek yogurt (for additional exfoliating and moisturizing properties)

How to Use Your Face Mask

Instructions:

  1. Mix: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, honey, and Greek yogurt. Stir until you have a smooth, even mixture.
  2. Apply: Gently apply the mask to your face, avoiding the eye area.
  3. Relax: Let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes, giving the pumpkin enzymes time to work their magic.
  4. Rinse: Wash off with warm water and pat your skin dry.
  5. Moisturize: Follow up with your favorite moisturizer for an extra glow.

Note: Always do a patch test if you have sensitive skin, especially with cinnamon.
