Mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce. Apple pie. Who can resist the thought of such mouth-watering cuisine served at Thanksgiving dinner?  From now through the day we give thanks, we’ll be featuring a delectable creation inspired by foods found at a fall feast. The best part? You can enjoy these appetizing morsels without worrying about your waistband. Bon appétit!

I was so tempted to eat my face last night. It smelled so decadently of a perfectly spiced pumpkin pie. A pinch of nutmeg, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a punch of fresh pumpkin. No, I haven’t gone senile — I’m far too young. Instead, I lathered up my face with Pumpkin Enzyme Mask from Sanitas, a skin care company that features active, biogenic, paraben-free and preservative-free ingredients in highly concentrated dosages that stimulate and nourish the skin

The Pumpkin Enzyme Mask promises to naturally exfoliate, soften and even out skin tone along with moisturizing and nourishing the skin to help neutralize free radicals that contribute to premature aging. In laymen’s terms…it leaves your skin feeling soft as a baby’s bottom with the glow of a fresh-faced youth. The mask contains five key ingredients: fresh pumpkin that contains an exfoliating enzyme that softens and evens skin tone; NaPCA , which is a biogenic moisturizer; Hyaluronic Acid that promotes wound healing and softens skin; Squalane, another biogenic moisturizer; and Vitamin C that protects, heals and stimulates collagen production.

While I suppose you could try gutting a pumpkin and rub the insides on your face, you’re probably better off leaving the technical details to Sanitas. A 2 oz. bottle of the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask is available for $30 online at The Healthy Skin Store. Don’t say I didn’t warn you — someone might try to nibble on your face, so be on guard.
