I first bought this mask at Whole Foods a couple months back and have since bought 2 more jars of this stuff. After 10 minutes my skin looks so smooth and bright that it looks like I just got a facial! It has a nice fall pumpkin smell that I’m sure some people won’t care for but I find it comforting.
