Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of greek yogurt

Simply mix the ingredients listed above in a bowl. Then, use a skincare brush to apply this mixture to your face. This mask will moisturize and brighten your skin.

Pumpkin puree is made from cooked pumpkin flesh, and honey helps treat acne and fade scars. Additionally, greek yogurt exfoliates and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Taste Fall Flavors at Starbucks

The 2024 Starbucks' fall menu includes a number of delicious drinks to help you celebrate autumn.

Iced Apple Crisp Cream Chai (new and my personal favorite!)

This beverage consists of creamy oat milk with notes of apple, brown sugar, chai, cinnamon and clove. There is also a delicious cold foam topping.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Enjoy an espresso and streamed milk with a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon. This drink is topped with pumpkin pie spices. Starbucks gets its pumpkin puree for its spiced sauce from kabocha pumpkins, which have a sweet, rich, and nutty flavor.

Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai

Sip a delightful chai with pumpkin cream cold foam and spice toppings.

Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato

Savor an espresso poured over oat milk and topped with spiced apple drizzle.
