It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Pumpkin Peel Facial

A slimy booger hanging out of your schnoz, lettuce between your teeth, and mustard in the corners of your mouth are totally unacceptable mishaps.

But pumpkin on your face? Bring it on.

The new Pumpkin Peel facial from Hela Spa, that is. The treatment, customized for your skin type, uses natural pumpkin enzymes to exfoliate, detoxify, and heal your skin.

After a deep cleaning, thorough steaming, and soothing massage, the vegetable mixture is applied all over your face and neck. It feels warm and tingly as it gets rid of dead cells and works to decrease sun damage and wrinkles.

It’s exactly the thing to undo the disservice you did by basking at the beach all summer long. Plus, hot apple cider is served during your appointment.

Just try not to spill it on yourself.

Available at Hela Spa, 3209 M Street NW, at Wisconsin Avenue (202-333-4445 or helaspa.com).
