I am all about Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte. Little tastes of fall are just such a nice way to unwind at the end of a stressful day, and the smell of pumpkin will do the trick. But if you don’t want the calories, or the caffeine buzz, there’s another place for pumpkin this season, and I’m pretty excited about it.
Pumpkin has worked its way into the formulas for some of fall’s hottest beauty must-haves. Try one of these great new skin treatments, and your face will thank you later.
Peter Thomas Roth, known for his expert skincare products and innovative use of ingredients and formulas, has put out a new skin resurfacer in plenty of time to get your face ready for all those holiday photos. The new Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Peel & Reveal is loaded with pumpkin extract for that warm and comforting scent, and of course, its benefits for the skin. The exfoliating treatment polishes your skin, creating a smoother surface and brightening your appearance. Pumpkin enzyme infuses your face and is finished off with an alpha hydroxy acid peel to make you buff and beautiful. The Clinical Peel & Reveal was developed with Roth’s wife in mind; she’s been combining two of his products (Anti-Aging Buffing Beads and Pumpkin Enzyme Peel), and he wanted to create one easy polishing step for her.
