Pumpkin Spice Spacations Are A Thing & You Seriously Need To Take One Now

by Kristin Corpuz

Pumpkin spice isn't just for your lattes anymore. Spas and resorts everywhere are hopping on the pumpkin spice trend and adding the iconic fall scent and flavor to some of their signature beauty treatments. Some places have even created new treatments to feature the beloved fad. If you're looking for a way to treat yo' self this fall (and fulfill all of your autumnal #goals), these are the best places for a pumpkin spice spacation.

Even though the orange gourd is mainly known for pumpkin pie, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and jack-o-lantern carvings, pumpkins and pumpkin spice actually have a ton of health and beauty benefits. To name a couple, according to The Dermal Institute, pumpkin is full of alpha hydroxy acids, which encourage the growth of new skin cells. Pumpkin is also known for its high vitamin C content, which makes your skin super soft and helps prevent further sun damage.

With a seemingly endless list of benefits, it's no wonder why so many spas are adding pumpkin ingredients to their beauty treatments. Head to a spa — with a PSL in hand, of course — and take advantage of these seasonal treatments so you can glow all the way into winter.
