For the Love of Food: Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub

Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub


Welcome to the first Beaty Food Friday, a special feature I am doing every Friday for the month of October that shows beauty products that can be made from everyday items in your kitchen.  

If you are anything like me, I'm sure that you've been looking forward to pumpkin season and not only want to eat it, but are dying to rub it all over your face and body.  Lucky for you this body scrub is easy to make and will fulfill your lifelong ambition to cover yourself in pumpkin while exfoliating dry skin.

This scrub was super gentle on my sensitive skin and I even used it on my face (avoiding the eye area!) without causing any irritation.  This recipe lasted me about 2 - 3 showers and left my skin feeling super soft and even a bit moisturized.  This scrub also smelled amazing, but didn't leave an overpowering scent on my skin like some other body products can.  I love that it's all natural and incredibly delicious...  so delicious, in fact, that you might have to resist licking your face in the shower.


Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup pumpkin

Mix sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon together.  Mix with pumpkin.  Put on skin, scrub in circular motion, and rinse.  All smooth and clean!

Store any excess in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Somehow I envision my puppies trying to lick my face off. I'll have to try it when they are napping. ;-)

What a great idea! I'll have to try this the next time I bake and don't need the whole can of pumpkin.
