Aside from being used as a jack-o-lantern, pumpkin is a rich source of Vitamin C, an anti-oxidant, vitamin A and Zinc. Collectively, they cleanse, sooth, exfoliate and moisturize allowing ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin. What's even more wonderful is that it's beneficial for all skin types.
