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!

Mmmm…freshly baked pumpkin pie topped with just a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.  But have you ever imagined that delicious concoction smeared all over your face?

That’s exactly what The Holy Mud Company serves up in its Pumpkin Glycolic Mask ($24, 3 oz.).  The brand, which claims its masks “won’t cleanse your soul, but they’ll do wonders for your skin,” has mixed five percent unbuffered glycolic acid with a blend of pumpkin enzymes and other exfoliating ingredients.  The result is a scrumptious-smelling mask that sheds skin’s oldest layers, revealing the new, radiant skin underneath.

The mask itself is chunky and orange — but who said you have to look beautiful in the process of getting beautiful?  Besides, the smell makes up for any appearance it lacks – if you close your eyes, you’ll swear you’re standing in front of a pumpkin pie (but don’t eat it!). We smeared the heavenly mixture on our own faces, and it felt tingly on the skin, which was completely normal, as the exfoliating enzymes were going to work.  After 15 minutes, our skin looked as fresh as ever – no more dry flakes.

Experience this “tasty” treat yourself.  Order online, or call 866-holy-mud.
