Homemade pumpkin and cinnamon body scrub recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of 1 can of pumpkin puree
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup of sifted brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil

How to:

Mix all ingredients together until blended well. Once done scoop scrub into a clean mason jar for storage. Toss a pinch of sea salt on top for a nice look.

Use this scrub twice a week to exfoliate your skin. The pumpkin scent is great for this time of year, and it actually helps control acne-prone skin. The sugar is what helps with exfoliation, and the coconut adds much needed moisture for baby-soft skin. Be sure to keep the scrub refrigerated so it lasts 3-4 weeks, or toss it out once you start noticing its spoiling.

*As with all homemade recipes, be sure to pre-test the product on a patch on your skin to avoid any skin allergies.
