Pumpkin (Kaddu) Pulp Mask for Tired Winter Skin
A spoon of cooked, cooled pumpkin pulp mixed with curd and left on for ten minutes. A gentle skin-comfort mask; patch test first and skip if you have a pumpkin allergy.
A soft kitchen mask
Pumpkin is a mild, soft vegetable that is easy to mash into a smooth pulp. Mixed with curd, it makes a cooling mask that can leave skin feeling soft for a short while.
Steam a small piece until tender, cool it and mash very smooth. Apply a thin layer and rinse after ten minutes. This is a skin-comfort idea, not a treatment for acne, pigmentation or other skin conditions.
