DIY Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask
Get brighter, smoother skin with this DIY pumpkin enzyme face mask. This mask is full of enzymes, AHAs, and antioxidants that will make your skin glow!
October is only a few days away. I guess that is why I have been obsessed with all things pumpkin lately.
I recently shared my favorite DIY pumpkin spice body scrub and I am super excited to share this DIY pumpkin enzyme face mask with you today.
I was inspired to make this DIY pumpkin enzyme face mask by a pumpkin enzyme mask I used to buy from Sephora.

I used to love the pumpkin enzyme mask from Peter Thomas Roth. But once I started ditching my chemical-filled beauty products, it had to go.
Although it does contain some natural ingredients it also contains a long list of some not-so-good ingredients.
Plus, it costs around $60 which I can’t believe I used to be okay with spending on a face mask.
Since I’ve been making many of my own skincare DIY’s, I’ve learned you don’t need to spend a lot to create a high-quality product that works great!
Pumpkin Face Mask Benefits
The enzymes and AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) in this mask helps to smooth and brighten the skin. This mask all contains vitamin A and C which help to soften the skin and fight wrinkles.
DIY Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask Ingredients
To make this pumpkin face mask you’ll need a small jar that is about 2 ounces and also the ingredients below.
Pure Pumpkin
Pureed pumpkin from a fresh pumpkin is best if you can get it. Otherwise, pure, 100% organic, pumpkin in a can will do.
Pumpkin is what makes this mask so beneficial to the skin. It contains enzymes, AHAs, and antioxidants that help to brighten, smooth, and soften the skin.
Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is a type of honey native to New Zealand. It is very high in antibacterial properties which sets it apart from traditional honey.
The antimicrobial and antibacterial properties of Manuka honey can help fight acne.
Manuka honey also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne.

Raw Manuka honey is best but raw organic honey will do as well.
Fresh Lemon Juice
Lemon can reduce dark spots and acne scars. It is also a natural astringent and can help reduce inflammation and fight acne.
Lemon juice is extremely acidic and can irritate your skin. That is why I use very little in this face mask recipe.
If you have extremely sensitive skin you might want to leave out the lemon.

Homemade Pumpkin Mask Tips
~ This pumpkin face mask will stay good for about a week if stored in the fridge. I wouldn’t recommend using it after that.
~ The mask can be used twice a week.
~ If you want to make this into an exfoliating mask similar to the pumpkin enzyme mask from Peter Thomas Roth, you can add about 1 tbsp of organic sugar to the recipe above.
~ It’s always best to use 100% pure, organic ingredients whenever possible.
