Pumpkin we considered the queen of autumn. Bright, beautiful, decorate any infield basic decor element Halloween. A dish with it need no introduction: tasty and healthy, especially for girls, and those who have problems with vision (visual acuity guaranteed no worse than a carrot blueberry).
But how is the pumpkin in cosmetics? The same queen, among other active ingredients, or not? Now we shall understand.
With the harvest of pumpkins in Russia everything is good. But for some reason it is not popular among domestic manufacturers of cosmetics - I do not understand. US brands have long used pumpkin extract, pumpkin seed oil in cosmetics. A Western bloggers do not disdain to use pumpkin puree in popular recipes beauty. Most popular pumpkin yields gelatin, egg yolk, and activated carbon masks.
The rejuvenation of the pumpkin - worthy of an active ingredient that moisturizes and restores the skin. Pumpkin extract is found in US enzyme peeling. Enzymes work similarly AHA acids: delicately remove dead cell layer and aligned skin relief.
But the most important thing in the pumpkin, as in other fruits and vegetables with orange pigments - carotenoids. Together with vitamin C (which also boasts a pumpkin) They do not give free radicals age the skin. Carotenoids in addition to improving visual acuity more involved in the normalization of the production of collagen. As we see, pumpkins are all opportunities to rejuvenate the skin.
A little about pumpkin seed oil
Marnie Nussbaum (in circles prosharennyh beauty-beauties is the famous American dermatologist, and her blog - unlike fashion editors who write about beauty and youth) Often touts the pumpkin seed oil, and is considered one of the best options in the moisture and prolong youth.
Pumpkin seed oil is praised more for the fact that it is more resistant antioxidant (that does not give free radicals our skin to age prematurely) than vitamin C.
Indeed, in this oil in addition to vitamin C and E still high content of omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. In general, a complete set to improve the elasticity of the skin and fight acne (not behaves unpredictably, such as retinol).
If use pumpkin seed oil in food, it will significantly reduce the activity of 5-alpha-reductase (who do not know, is an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, and then wait for a surprise from hair loss to rapid weight gain).
In some cosmetics have pumpkin
As I said, mostly from American manufacturers. There are dry skin soft milk cleanser with extract from pumpkin MyChelle, as well went out of their peeling pumpkin puree, pumpkin wine and honey in the composition. Madre Labs managed to develop a serum retinol and pumpkin seed oil, which restores skin elasticity, and judging by the reviews of those who use it - this is no exaggeration manufacturer.
I hope that in the near future, and domestic producers will boast new products with the extract of pumpkin, especially if it's peeling and hand creams. Pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin extract himself very well, "animate" the skin of hands, they do not look so tired out how to love with a pumpkin.
Put a "thumbs up" if you want more interesting materials for self-care and skin of the face!
