Pumpkin Face Mask, Apple Serums, And More Fall-Themed Beauty Products That Are So Much Cooler Than A PSL

Though autumn is a time to indulge in certain seasonal foods that come out from hibernation but once a year (pumpkin spice latte, I'm looking at you), it also serves as excellent motivation to find new products that contain said stellar ingredients. In addition to apple-picking, why not wear an apple-infused facial serum? And before you go to the local maple syrup festival, smooth on some maple-infused moisturizer? If you're an unabashed beauty nut — and a pumpkin spice enthusiast at that — here are the top nine pumpkin, apple, and maple products to try this fall.

Peter Thomas Roth Peel And Reveal Dermal Resurfacer

This pumpkin enzyme-infused product is like a trip to the facialist without the price tag. The pumpkin tackles dead skin cells while aluminum serves an exfoliant, and lactic acid provides the satisfying “peel” function to the treatment.

Michael Todd True Naturals Pumpkin Mask

If you love anything pumpkin patch–themed and can’t seem to stay away from the type of brightly hued facial mask that gives you an extraterrestrial look, you’ll love Michael Todd’s True Naturals Pumpkin Mask. Though it’s billed as a moisturizing mask, the product also clears pores and gives skin an immediately luminous appearance.

Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Rinse

If you’re befuddled by the notion of a skin “rinse,” simply think of Rhonda Allison’s Pumpkin Rinse as a toner/hydrator hybrid to be used after washing your face.

Indie Lee Swiss Apple Facial Serum

Indie Lee is renowned in the beauty industry for her formulation of products that aren’t chock-full of harsh chemicals, and this sweet Swiss Apple Facial Serum utilizes the aforementioned natural ingredients to keep wrinkles and skin tone in check.

Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Serum

Pep up your anti-aging regimen with the delightfully scented, dark spot–fighting serum which, fittingly for fall, contains organic apple juice.

Eminence Pear and Green Apple Masque

Be forewarned: Though Eminence’s products give skin a healthy, nourished glow, their natural composition may feel a bit more like a smoothie than a typical skin-care product. If you can move past the texture and appearance, you’re in for an antioxidant-rich treat.

Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

Did you know that Kate Somerville’s cult-favorite wonder-product Exfolikate uses pumpkin enzymes to do its exfoliating magic?

B. Kamins Laboratories Maple Day Cream

If you adore the sweet smell of maple syrup on your Sunday brunch pancakes, try this day cream on for size: Its Bio-Maple compound serves to keep skin hydrated, while SPF 15 keeps your skin shielded from the sun.

Eminence Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque

Though this Eminence Pumpkin Latte Masque is targeted toward those with incredibly dry skin, who wouldn’t want to slather their face in something labeled “pumpkin latte”?
