Pumpkin spice sugar scrub

Pumpkin spice sugar scrub

Fall is here and in this house (plus many other households around the country) that means it is time for pumpkin spice everything. Nothing says fall to me more than pumpkins and the cool, crisp outdoors. Leaves are falling (well not yet here in Georgia but they will soon, maybe) and the drinks are getting creative around here with pumpkin spice everything. I am all about the pumpkin during this time of year and I will pretty much try anything with pumpkin in it. So will my family. I especially love cooking with pumpkin and getting it into as many recipes as possible. We hope that you love this Pumpkin spice sugar scrub recipe.

Pumpkin spice sugar scrub

Ingredients 

• 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 2/3 cup sugar
• dash of cinnamon
• 4-6 drops of cinnamon essential oil
• optional, up to a tablespoon of pumpkin

Directions

1. Combine the pumpkin, sugar and cinnamon together in a dish. If needed for consistency preferences, you can add in the coconut oil a little at a time.
2. This should be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or you could freeze it indefinitely.
3. Allow to come to room temperature before using so the coconut oil can soften. Rub in a circular motion all over and then rinse with warm water.

As someone who is obsessed with skin care, I have completely fallen in love with sugar scrubs. The more I use the better my skin is and I really love the outcome after using a good sugar scrub. Also good to know that cinnamon oil offers lots of health benefits like relief of stiff and sore joints and muscles, boosts heart and brain health, repels mosquitoes and clears up skin breakouts plus so much more. We hope that you loved this Pumpkin spice sugar scrub recipe.
