AWAKEN YOUR SKIN'S YOUTHFUL GLOW!
In light of Halloween, it's time for a little pumpkin enzyme. MissRo here! I am not sure how your Halloween was, but mine was fabulous! My Dad is visiting from Toronto, Canada and there is no other place that is better to celebrate Halloween, but in West Hollywood for the Halloween Carnaval Parade.
We started our night at Mexico, this fun, little Mexican restaurant that has a great patio that overlooks Santa Monica blvd, where the parade takes place. Funny enough, we bumped into Meg and Megken! Small world! We had a fair share of Margarita, delicious fish tacos, and then it was time to walk up and down the Boulevard. There was roughly half a million people in the streets! It was the largest Halloween party we have ever been to.
OK, back to Pumpkin Ezyme. That is what's in Cosminology's Galactic Core Your Pores Anti-Matter Mask™. Well after last night, my skin needed some lovin'. So, I woke up this morning, cleansed and scrubed, and then put on a nice layer of the mask on. I did feel a slight tingling, but it felt good and that something was happening, that it was working on my skin. After about 15 minutes, I washed it off with cool water and I always finish with wiping toner over my face to make sure I got everything off. I have to tell you, my skin felt great! Smooth, soft, and my pores felt tight and squeaky clean.
Pumpkin Enzymes is the main ingredient and makes an excellent face mask ingredient for all skin types, especially environmentally damaged or sensitive skin. High in Vitamin A, C, E, folate, zinc and pantothenic acid, pumpkin enzyme is a very effective compound for cellular renewal. It is a natural and effective keratinolytic and yet is low in irritation. Long known for its natural wound healing properties, it is now well established that pumpkin is high in carotenoids. These compounds are essential in protecting skin (especially sensitive skin) from free radical formation and the damaging effects of UV light.
This product is great for acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. I am going to continue to regularly use this mask, because I want to work on the fine lines I have on my forehead and the fact that I break out all the time on my chin.
Do you use a mask on a regular weekly basis? Have you ever used any products that have pumpkin enzyme in it?

I LOVE anything with pumpkin!!! Have used Rhonda Allison's pumpkin-based products for years (as do many top spas!) and for my skin-type,it's one of the most effective enzymes I have found...cleans and clears with minimal irritation.i atually whipped up a "batch" of something and smeared it on yesterday after carving up my pumpkin. :)Thanks to Meg and Dr. D for the discount as well...now I'm in troubs,LOL!
Wow! I come out of lurkdom twice in one day! MissRo speaks the truth. Pumpkin peels are so good and dislodging any nasty impurities from your face! I had a date and my skin was not looking too great. It was pretty broken out and blackhead nation. I grabbed my "Galactic Core Your Pores" . It did sting but only for about a minute. I put it on pretty thick and after 25 minutes, looked into the mirror and it looked like I had hardly put any on! My skin literally drank it up! I knew I was getting a bit Oily but Good Lord! I hopped in the shower and the hot water malted the remaining mask off. It also melted away alot of my gross blackheads and my skin definitely felt tighter. I am making this mask a weekly ritual!
My goodness, this mask sounds amazing! I need this! I've never tried anything with pumpkin enzymes. How about if I just slapped on some fresh pumpkin on my face, would that work too? Or should I just probably eat it? Haha. :)
Try this: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/pumpkin-face-mask-vitamin-rich.html#I just googled pumpkin enzyme face mask and this sounds SO easy to make. :)

Thanks for the link, the recipe looks really easy. I've never used anything with pumpkin in it before, so its very interesting to hear of its benefits
That recipe made me hungry. Maybe I can use that mask while I eat a pumpkin cake
This sounds great. I don't think that I've ever used any products with pumpkin, other than a moisturizer. My "go to" mask it Alba's Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask. It gives a slight tingle, and leaves my skin super smooth. I've kept the Juice Beauty Green Apple mask in my regular rotation, but I can't use it in the morning, because it leave my skin red for awhile.
Wow, this stuff sounds amazing! I am going to add it to my ever-growing wish list!
I've never heard of pumpkin enzymes before, but it sounds like something that might work for me. I have acne issues and am always trying something new and different.

I love any- and every-thing Pumpkin! This mask sounds amazing and right up my alley - thanks to Dr Dima for giving Megheads a discount!! I went to the WeHo Carnival last year - so much fun!
wow this mask sounds great! I am on the hunt for something that will clean out & shrink my pores! & 15% off?? maybe i'll give this stuff a try; it doesn't help that I am obsessed with anything that involves pumpkin!
Pumpkin? OoOooOoh! I have to say I love anything with A, C and E included in them. And NYC definitely gives Hollywood a run for it's money when it comes to Halloween!

I used to have a warming pumpkin mask facial cleanser. It worked pretty well I guess, but I've never tried and masks.
Your halloween sounded swell :D lol and so does this product <3

This sounds just beautiful, and definitely something that would suit my skin type!I've never used anything made with pumpkin on my skin, and honestly today was the first I have heard of this 'super' food for skin! I'm going to keep an eye out for anything else with pumpkin. I knew it was a great vegetable! :D
I am so jealous of your halloween night.....how were the fish tacos? I've never had fish tacos but have always wanted to try them! As for the mask--it sounds so delightful. I have been using the aztec secret mask once in a while (not as much as i should). I use it with apple cider vinegar and boy does your face pulse! When i wash it off my face --it is bright red and i look silly. I may just have to try this one.....
ooOoO fish tacos! i've always wanted to try it since i watched "I love you, man".I love people with glowing skin, my mum has naturally glowing skin with a shine. I use some sort of avacado and oatmeal clay mask from the drug store... to best completely honest it shows no difference, my pimples are still there.. my pores are still there.. I think it's time for a change! this sounds like a great product :)

I don't think I've ever tried pumpkin enzymes, but I do enjoy a mask now and then. Even when it doesn't do much for my skin it makes me feel so darn girly! I was working Halloween unfortunately :(
I didn't even know that pumpkin was a great ingredient for your skin! This sounds great! I just use a clay mask once a week (or when I remember) which eally helps even out my skin tone and tighten my pores!
I have always wanted a natural glow! WOOH, now there is a product which i think is reliable enough to do the job!
This sounds like a great product as has everything you've reviewed from this line. It is a little out of my price range right now so I will have to put it on my wish list. I am currently using a handmade mask I bought from an Etsy seller. It's dead sea clay mixed with white clay, charcoal, lavender eo & tea tree oil. I try to use it every other day to keep my pores clean and once a week I mix it with apricot seeds to exfoliate. It works wonders for me as long as I am diligent and keep up with it.
I'd used a pumpkin yoghurt mask from silk naturals. It comes in powder and I just mix it with water into a paste. Don't think there was any significant effect from using the mask. I can't remember. I have so many different masks now that I should be on a no-buy for masks.
I would LOVE to try this mask! I have heard about the wonders of pumpkin. Currently, I'm not using a mask on a regular basis--haven't found one that I love enough. I'm using a sample of Nude's Miracle Mask, but I'm not that impressed. This mask sounds like it would right up my alley: I have blackheads, scars, some rough patches, etc.... I've poked around a little on the Cosminology web site, and this whole line looks wonderful!
THIS JUST IN!!! Dr. Dima has a special on their Galactic Core Your Pores! 10% off with code Fall09 and 15% off their Universal Goddess Goodies Collection. That is a super savings, because it includes their cleanser, exfoliating scrub, pumpkin mask and a complimentary make up remover-Global Debris Remover. So you get a free product and 15% off!!!
Pumpkin enzyme masks are a necessary part of my skin maintenance routine. I use one by June Jacobs, and love it, but at $78 for a 4 ounce tub, it's on the pricey side, and I'd like to find a more affordable alternative.
I love pumpkin masques! I remember when BBW had one and Oprah made it one of her favorite things, and all of a sudden you couldn't get it anymore, it was completely sold out. Now they don't make it anymore, so I may just give this one a try, since I've never been able to find a good replacement for it.
I only use masks on an occasional event. I really enjoy using them though! but i just never find the time to leave it on so I dont bother usually.

I've never used anything with pumpkin in it. For a while there I was in a great routine of using a mask once to twice a week, but I've been lazy for the past month and haven't bothered. I need to get back into the routine though because it made such a difference to my skin.

Idk why, but this makes me crave pumpkin pie. Oh, I would so love to use something like this on my skin =)
My aesthetician recommended pumpkin products by Rhonda Allison (I have used the toner and Pumpkin Parfait Enzyme-mask). What an incredibly yummy smell. I do different kinds of masks two to three times a week. I just love skincare. This Cosminology's Mask sounds wonderful. Pumpkin is so good for your skin.
this looks like a great product!
