Life has been busy lately. Some things I can share, some I can’t – yet. I’ve also been going through some health issues that have been negatively affecting my skin. I have so many good natural skin remedies for troubled skin but since it’s fall I decided to spice things up – get it – with a pumpkin spice FACE mask. Oh, and fun fact – I still haven’t had a pumpkin spiced latte yet. You can tell me in the comments if I am seriously missing out.

DIY Pumpkin Spice Face Mask
Otherwise, one thing I can share is that my husband and I have been in the process of buying a house. And what a process that is! Plus, here in the D.C. area once you find a house you even sort of like you have to put a bid on it immediately, or it will be gone in a few days. Thankfully, we’re nearing the end of that process and I’ll be back with an update on that.
But we’re here to talk about skincare, not houses. So let me tell you about my new favorite fall-themed mask.
Pumpkin Spice Face Mask Ingredients:
- 1 TBS pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Sprinkle of cinnamon (avoid if you have sensitive skin)
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
Before we make it, let’s talk about those ingredients, shall we?
PUMPKIN – Pumpkin is full of Vitamin C (to fight wrinkles), Vitamin A (boosts collagen production), zinc, and enzymes. Essentially it works the same as those awesome alpha-hydroxy treatments you spent a lot of money on at Sephora. Don’t worry, I’m guilty too. But this is a heck of a lot cheaper!
HONEY – Honey cleansers skin, is full of antibacterial properties to fight acne and helps brighten and soften your skin
TURMERIC – This is one powerful spice. You’re going to want to read this post on a DIY Turmeric Mask to learn about all its benefits.
CINNAMON – Kills bacteria that causes acne. Woohoo.
- In a small bowl mix together all the ingredients. You might want to heat up the honey for a few seconds in the microwave or on the stove if it is a little hard.
- Apply to your face with your fingers or a small brush.
- Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
- Wash off with cool water.
- Follow up with a good natural moisturizer.
And if you’re really feeling the pumpkin theme, try this pumpkin spiced foot scrub from Bustle.
Also, don’t forget to try this DIY cinnamon face mask next to reduce pores and acne scarring.

Pumpkins can really do it all and you can make all kinds of things from pumpkin. I have everything on hand to make this today.
I’m all about putting pumpkin on my face 😀 Haha!
I’m a sucker for a homemade face mask! And who doesn’t love pumpkin spice!
Sounds lovely! I didn’t know that cinnamon kills bacteria – really interesting.
Yup! Although be careful if you have sensitive skin. I might not use it then as it can burn.
OH I totally need to make this! I LOVE face masks and this one is perfect for the fall!
I have everything in my pantry for this delicious face mask! I can’t wait to give it a try.
I figure most people would, especially around this time of year!
omg I love this! How are these ingredients so beneficial for the skin and delicious too?! Must be too good to be true 😉
I have used pumpkin in a mask and loved it! It felt so good on my skin. I will have to try it with turmeric next time.
Such a great recipe – thanks for sharing!
This sounds fun! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been fighting so much acne with all the humidity lately. I’ll have to give this a try after the little one goes down for bed!
Let me know how it goes!
Another reason to love pumpkins and fall!!! I knew it! I am excited to try this. I am a sucker for expensive masks. This is a great alternative.
Oh, don’t worry – I am too. 🙂 But I love my occasionally DIY masks as well.
I love that its edible, haha! I will have to try this!
Yup – that way you KNOW there is nothing bad in there for your skin. 🙂
I’m not a pumpkin spice latte fan so I would say you’re not missing out lol! I do love the idea of this face mask though, it sounds fun!
haha glad I’m not the only one not missing out on the famous PSL’s. !
I love this – especially since I have a lot of leftover pumpkin in the fridge right now. Going to give this one a try.
That’s so cool, a face mask you could even eat! Good luck with your house buying. We’ve bought and sold a few and I can relate to how utterly stressful the whole process is!
Kristen, glad to hear you’ve survived, though 🙂 Can’t wait to see your finished renovations!
Pumpkin is such a great ingredient for face masks! Definitely going to have to try this DIY sometime!
This looks great! I haven’t done a homemade face mask in awhile. I think this is going to be the one to end my drought.
Yes!
This sounds super simple which is always something I look for and need with having two toddlers at home!
Now I maybe could get on board this way of using pumpkin spice. 🙂
Pumpkins are really good for you. Maybe I can do these masks with my daughter for a mini spa night!
Aww you’d both love that!
This looks so easy (and yummy!)! I need to try this asap!
This sounds amazing- and I have all the ingredients already! YAY! I’m excited to try it!
And good luck on your house search! Was thinking of you recently!
what an awesome idea! edible face mask MmmMmM and its so fitting for the season 😛
Simple ingredients and it looks great. Can’t wait to try. Pumpkin spice Latte is one of those things, you either love or hate it. There is no in between.
I love this!! I’ll probably make it and put it in a pretty jar to give as fall gifts!!
What a great idea!
Great article. I will try this recipe for sure.
Wow, this looks great! I would replace the honey with agave to make it vegan. Thanks for sharing and I can’t wait to try it!!
Ooh great idea!
Mmmmm sounds and seems delicious! I just bought a new body shop mask yesterday, tea tree oil, and it was so tingly and felt so nice. I should try this one, thanks for sharing!
I love the feel of tea tree oil too!
I would never have thought to do something like this! Love this idea!!
