Pumpkin’s orange hue is from carotenoids, wrinkle-fighting plant
pigments that help neutralize free radicals in the skin, keeping them
from damaging the cells that fast-forward aging. “Pumpkin is filled with
vitamins C, E, and A, as well as powerful enzymes that help to cleanse
the skin,” explains dermatologist Kenneth Beer, author of Palm Beach Perfect Skin.
Plus, pumpkin has hydrating properties, Ionescu adds. Although the
seeds make a great fiber-filled snack, you get the skin-saving
antioxidants from the pulp.
