Pumpkin Everything! Cosmetology's Pumpkin Facials

Autumn isn’t just the season for pumpkin spice lattes—it’s also the perfect time to treat your skin to the nourishing power of pumpkin! Students in the Cosmetology program recently rolled up their sleeves and created homemade pumpkin facials, learning valuable skincare techniques along the way.

Pumpkin facials are suitable for most skin types and are especially beneficial for those seeking exfoliation and hydration, anti-aging benefits, brightening and skin tone improvement, and a little relaxation and pampering.

Why pumpkin? This fall favorite is packed with vitamins A and C, natural enzymes, and antioxidants that help gently exfoliate dead skin cells, hydrate tired skin, and brighten dull complexions. The antioxidant power of pumpkin also helps protect against environmental damage, while its natural fruit enzymes leave the skin feeling soft, smooth, and revitalized.

The students enjoyed a hands-on learning experience—mixing, applying, and understanding how different ingredients interact with the skin. Beyond the science, it was a time for self-care and relaxation, reminding everyone that skincare isn’t just about beauty—it’s about wellness, too.

This seasonal skincare lesson left everyone glowing—inside and out!
