#7 Pumpkin

Autumn may be known as the season of all things pumpkin, but we should not discredit the gourd as only good for making pies and a second-thought ingredient in lattes. Pumpkin is actually full of amazing enzymes, alpha-hydroxy acids, and zinc.

These all contribute towards making your skin softer and restoring the pH balance, and, you guessed it, they also help keep acne in check, even adult acne!

This is the reason why it is found in so many face products and in a lot of exfoliating ones as well. However, you do not have to rely on using face products in order to make the most of this fruit.

You can get the same benefits from eating it, as, internally, it will give you a boost of zinc and fibers that are going to do wonders for your digestive system and even your skin.

After all, zinc is known to help with regulating the oil production of our skin!

Whether you choose to make some pumpkin pancakes from time to time, make pumpkin soup, or even just roast some pumpkin seeds as a healthy snack, there are a lot of ways in which you can enjoy this fruit on a regular basis!
