Turning To (not Into) A Pumpkin: Pumpkin-A-Peel by Skingenious is natural enough to eat, but Pumpkin-A-Peel is a nutrient-packed pumpkin enzyme mask. The Vitamin A-filled orange vegetable contains more than104 nutrients, including amino acids, essential fatty acids, cucurbitin (an anti-cancer sugar unique to the pumpkin family), and more. The pore-refining enzyme peel keeps skin vibrant and aglow.
SPA 415 in Beverly Hills, reports that supermodel
Tyra Banks and actresses
Cameron Diaz and Gabrielle Union are all fans of the spa’s professional grade
Pumpkin Enzyme Facial ($100/hour, made by Skingenious) – and all have bought Pumpkin-A-Peel to take home.
“The process we use is very similar to making wine, where the nutrients of the grapes are concentrated and intensified, “ explains
Shan Albert, founder and creator of Skingenious. “It’s a way to coax more benefits from the fruit, instead of destroying them.” Marinating the entire pumpkin in natural ingredients, at low temperatures to retain and intensify its vitamin and mineral content, this long, slow process results in a 100% natural fruit acid formula, free of artificial color, fragrance and preservatives.
Infused with concentrated pumpkin enzymes, pumpkin extracts, water and essential oils, Pumpkin-A-Peel is:
an alternative to AHA’s and is a mild retonic acid substitute, a natural repair therapy ideal for sensitive skin and Rosacea, because it is not as sharp or intrusive as glycolic acid.
To clean pores and refine the skin, smooth a thin layer gently over the face, neck and/or décolletage. A slight tingling may occur as the Pumpkin-A-Peel goes to work, deep cleaning pores and gently removing dead cell buildup. Leave on for 3-5 minutes. Rinse well, and get ready to glow!
Pumpkin-A-Peel is $39.00 for 1.5 oz. For more information on Pumpkin-A-Peel and other Skingenious products, please call (888) 452-2463 or visit
