Pumpkin for Beautiful Skin
(Also available as a PDF document.)

Did you know that products containing as little as 10% natural ingredients may be promoted as "natural' products? This deception is not practiced by MyChelle Dermaceuticals. Our products are 100% natural, devoid even of synthetic preservative and stabilizers, thereby minimizing potential side effects commonly associated with products of lesser purity.

At MyChelle we utilize therapeutic botanical ingredients to enhance the skin's immune system, nourish, hydrate and support tissue respiration without the use of chemical preservatives or stabilizers. Fruit pulps containing natural fruit acids and enzymes, as well as concentrated nutrients, exfoliate, hydrate and feed the skin.

We all strive to obtain and maintain a fresh and healthy skin appearance. To keep your skin looking and feeling young, the endless cycle of skin cell sloughing and renewing needs to be actively supported. New skin cells require about twenty-eight days to form and gradually work their way to the surface as old cells die off. This renewal process slows with age, and is further retarded by stress, lack of sleep and overexposure to the sun, among other influences. Fruit enzymes and Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) help to increase the skin cells' natural turnover rate, while removing dead, dehydrated and scaly cells on the surface, to reveal the smooth appearance of the new cells. AHAs act to dissolve the intracellular cement, or "glue", that binds the dead skin cells. Fruit enzymes, on the other hand, digest the dead skin cells.

Pumpkin - not just for pies
Concentrated pumpkin and fruit pulps, in the form of peels, are a great source of fruit enzymes and AHAs. Properly prepared concentrated pumpkin extract contains a wide spectrum of vitamin A derivatives with an outstanding effect on the skin's retinoic acid receptors, which are responsible for cellular turnover. Look for super concentrated pumpkin, cherry, apple, cranberry, and blueberry pulp peels for the best natural results.

Incredible Pumpkin Peel
MyChelle Dermaceuticals has enhanced its Incredible Pumpkin Peel by employing a proprietary freeze-drying process. This unique process yields a whole new botanical peel. The pumpkin extracts are fermented to concentrate the nutrients, making them bio-available to the skin. The fermentation process enables the skin to absorb the nutrients with much greater ease. Our Incredible Pumpkin Peel is a purely natural alternative to harsh, expensive chemical peels. Who can use the Incredible Pumpkin Peel? People with acne and severely weathered skin respond with the most visible change, since there is so much to improve upon. Normal skin types benefit by the promotion of healthy skin cell turnover, resulting in age defying rejuvenation.

Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkins are packed full of life giving nutrients. Pumpkin seed oil yields essential fatty acids that regulate proper skin sebum (oil) production. This is not only important for normalizing oily/acne skin, but also balances dry skin. Pumpkin seeds are additionally a great source of minerals, especially zinc, which is a great antioxidant and skin healer. Pumpkin Renew Cream is a fantastic nourishing cream for young, acne or normal skin types. Deep Repair Cream is designed more for mature skin. It contains powerful cellular renewal ingredients along with the pumpkin seed oil.

More Fruit
Our fantastic response to MyChelle's Incredible Pumpkin Peel resulted in the development of our Fruit Fiesta Peel. It contains five servings of fruits and vegetables (cherry, cranberry, pumpkin, apple and blueberry) to nourish, rejuvenate and exfoliate all skin types, especially mature skin. (Sensitive skins should always be patch tested.) Hyaluronic acid, potent antioxidants, fruit acids and enzymes tighten pores and leave your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Remember that beautiful skin starts from within. Treat yourself to the most natural and nutritious foods and unstressed environment. Externally, let your skin experience truly natural products available in the skin care line of MyChelle Dermaceuticals.
