WHY MAKE A PUMPKIN SCRUB?
A DIY pumpkin scrub is the perfect treat for your skin during the cozy fall and winter months! This seasonal scrub has a wonderfully warm scent and leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Plus, it does double the work, as you can use it as a nourishing facial mask or a gentle body scrub!
THE INGREDIENTS
Pumpkin is a unique natural ingredient that gives your skin a healthy, radiant glow. It’s packed with enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which help gently exfoliate the skin and encourage cell turnover, leaving your complexion looking brighter, smoother, and more evenly toned.
Pumpkin is also rich in vitamins A and C, which can soften and smooth the skin while supporting collagen production and helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and other signs of aging. And the benefits don’t stop there! Coconut oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin, while honey acts as a natural exfoliant and assists in keeping acne-prone skin feeling clean and refreshed.
MAKE IT, SHARE IT
This recipe will leave your skin feeling silky smooth. As with most at-home recipes, this combination of ingredients does not include a preservative, so use it up quickly. Make one for yourself and one for a friend or share it as a gift. Enjoy this sweet-smelling scrub and be blessed.
