Since the only four seasons in Texas are resorts, I like to find ways to experience the climate I’m missing, and scents are the best substitute (better than dealing with snow, right?). Flowers in the spring, pine in the winter, and pumpkin in the fall! Seeing as the autumn harvest is almost over, it’s high time to pick a pumpkin – a pumpkin beauty product! I love them. I’ve tried the facial masks, the enzyme facials, the whole crop! They’re great because pumpkin enzymes are some of the most effective for removing dead skin cells and encouraging new growth. Arcona’s all-natural pumpkin body lotion is my favorite find so far. It repairs sun damage from those bikini-baring summer months, and improves elasticity with glycolic acid. My skin is so soft right now that my friend Kristie Ramirez, the Fashion Director of Texas Monthly, could not stop touching my arm at my Neiman Marcus denim launch party last weekend. My only complaint is that the tube is not bigger. This stuff is so good I’m going to keep using it long past Thanksgiving, and I’ll be needing more! Available at Arcona for $35.
