WHY MAKE A PUMPKIN SCRUB?
A do-it-yourself pumpkin scrub is perfect for the fall and winter months. This fun fall scrub smells wonderful and is good for your skin! Use this recipe as a facial mask or body scrub – two products in one!
THE INGREDIENTS:
Pumpkin is packed with enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that will increase cell turnover and give you brighter and smoother skin. This can help even out skin tone and give your skin a beautiful glow. The vitamin A and vitamin C in pumpkin will help soften and smooth the skin and boost collagen production to prevent the signs of aging. Coconut oil and honey are also great for the skin. In fact, honey acts as a natural exfoliant and can be helpful when fighting acne.
Not only that but pumpkin smells amazing and this recipe will leave your skin feeling silky smooth. As with most at-home recipe, this combination of ingredients does not include a preservative, so use it up quickly! We hope you enjoy this sweet smelling scrub.
