How to Make Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub
If pumpkin spice is not a favorite you can omit the spice, add in different extracts like peppermint or lemon, use essential oils, or even a bit of instant coffee or cocoa to create a recipe they love.
You will need:
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup coconut or olive oil
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon unscented castile soap -optional
- Jar with tight fitting lid
First, place sugar in a large bowl.
Stir in coconut oil, castile soap, and spices.
Castile soap is a great cleanser as well as moisturizer, it adds a bit of sudsing effect to the sugar scrub.
While not necessary I like the benefits that it adds to it. They could also use a little of their favorite mildly scented body wash in place of the castile soap.
Mix until well combined, add more oil or spices to the mixture until it is your preferred scent and consistency.
Transfer mixture to a glass jar with a lid, I found this nice locking jar at Dollar Tree and it would be great for gifting the sugar scrub in.
Store out of the direct line of water.
To use: Rub sugar scrub gently over wet skin, especially on elbows, knees, and feet and then rinse away.
I do not recommend this as a face scrub as it is too abrasive for the tender skin of the face.
