So says South Salem resident and DIY eco-beauty guru Indie Lee.

According to Lee's blog, the pumpkin enzymes act as a gentle exfoliator that won’t strip skin with harsh irritants. It's also loaded with vitamins A and C which promotes new cell regeneration.

Plus, reads her blog, it’ll smell just as delicious as what's in the oven.
