1. Vitamin A: The skin regenerator

We need vitamins to maintain the health of our skin. Eating foods high in vitamins, like fresh fruit and vegetables, and applying skincare with naturally high vitamin levels are highly beneficial. In addition to maintaining healthy skin, the natural Vitamin A content of pumpkin seed oil is particularly effective at managing acne and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps to regulate sloughing away of dead skin cells to reduce clogged pores in the skin, promoting a clearer complexion.

2. Vitamins B2 & B3: The skin smoothers

There are eight B vitamins ("B complex vitamins"); riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3) are naturally found in pumpkin seed oil. Their main function is to keep your skin healthy and glowing and are perfect for dry, sensitive and mature skins. Vitamin B3 softens and smooths the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and supports the skin's protective barrier, keeping moisture in and irritants and environmental pollutants out. 

3. Potassium: The skin hydrator

Potassium is a mineral which is essential for healthy skin. It's primary function is to regulate the fluid levels in the body and specifically at the cellular level. This has an immediate benefit for the skin: potassium keeps skin moisturised and hydrated. This special mineral (or electrolyte once absorbed by the body) balances the pH levels of the skin, helping to balance oily-prone skin and re-hydrate dry skin. 

4. Zinc: The skin healer

Zinc has excellent anti-inflammatory properties, making it well suited to treating redness and irritated skin, as well as oily and acne-prone skins, and reducing the appearance of acne scarring. The naturally-occurring zinc in pumpkin seed oil can help to remove bacteria from the skin that contribute to acne, while also balancing the amount of oil the skin produces. And zinc has skin-lifting properties as it promotes collagen production, supporting the structure of healthy skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

These four skin benefits make pumpkin seed oil an excellent plant oil for sensitive, dry, mature and also acne-prone skins.

To experience these benefits in your daily skincare rituals, apply the Hero Facial Oil every morning and night to cleansed, slightly damp skin or after your moisturiser. Massage into the skin, patting and pressing to aid absorption into the deeper layers of the skin. 

With all the beautiful plant oils feeding your skin with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy, you'll notice how nourished and radiant your skin looks and feels all day long.
