With fall just around the corner, pumpkin spice is already starting to make its annual comeback. And on Tuesday Aug. 28, Starbucks announced that its beloved pumpkin spice latte would officially be making its return to U.S. and Canadian restaurants that day via Twitter, while the U.K. would be able to start enjoying the popular drink on Sept 6.

But while the latte certainly has a strong cult following, can pumpkin spice beauty products garner the same following? I definitely think so! Of course, pumpkin is delicious to enjoy in pies, drinks, or even on its own, but it also has some amazing benefits for your skin as well.

According to The International Dermal Institute, pumpkin contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals that will make your skin glow, including vitamin A and C that help to boost collagen production as well as zinc, which can help people dealing with acne. The flesh of the vegetable also has fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids that help to increase cell turnover to brighten the skin. Pumpkin seeds also have a lot of the same great benefits as well.

"Pumpkin seed oil is high in the polyunsaturated fatty acid omega 6, which is beneficial for the skin and hormone support in women," Lorna Driver-Davis, a nutritionist at Feel Better Nutrition told the Daily Mail. "I also recommend pumpkin seed oil to men due to the zinc content."

So with all that said, let's take a look at some of the best pumpkin beauty products to add to your collection this fall!
