Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub
Tis the season to trick or treat yourself! This deliciously lush homemade pumpkin spice sugar scrub is perfect for achieving silky smooth skin!
When the temperatures start to drop in the fall, having a homemade solution for moisturized skin is such a treat! This pumpkin spice sugar scrub is so easy to make and smells amazing with the scents of the season!
The wonderful thing about homemade sugar scrubs is that the benefits are two-fold! The sugar works as an exfoliant, while the coconut oil serves to moisturize skin. With this pumpkin spice version of sugar scrub, you also get the amazing scent that comes from brown sugar and pumpkin spice.
Contrary to popular belief, many pumpkin spice products don’t contain pumpkin, but instead the mix of the spices that would typically go into a pumpkin pie. In this case, I’m using a pre-mixed pumpkin spice seasoning, but a homemade pumpkin spice seasoning would contain a combo of:
- ground cinnamon
- ground ginger
- nutmeg
- ground allspice
- ground cloves
To create this homemade sugar scrub, you’ll combine:
- brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- pumpkin pie spice
- coconut oil
- vanilla (optional)
It takes just a few moments to combine the ingredients, then the sugar scrub is ready to use! Since there is no pumpkin in this mix, it’s safe to keep on a shelf. Due to the potential for the for coconut oil to solidify, keeping this mix in a warm shower would also be ideal.
