Got leftover pumpkin puree? Here’s an idea for it! Most of my DIY beauty scrubs use edible ingredients. This Vanilla Pumpkin Sugar Scrub has five ingredients and most of them you could probably guess just by looking at its name.

Vanilla Pumpkin Sugar Scrub
I use natural raw sugar because I like its grittier texture for exfoliating. If you can’t find any, brown sugar will do.
I love using melted coconut oil in my DIY beauty recipes. Coconut oil feels wonderful on your skin and is so soothing and moisturizing.
Vanilla extract and pumpkin spice are added to give it a nice fall scent.
Ingredients
- natural raw sugar
- coconut oil, melted
- pumpkin spice
- vanilla extract
- pumpkin puree
Brown sugar can be substituted if you can’t find natural raw sugar.
Use it on your body (not face) in the shower. Scrubs can get a little messy so using them in the shower is the easiest way to ensure your bathroom doesn’t get scrub everywhere.
If it’s warm where you live, you could also use it outside with a tub of warm water.
Because this scrub contains edible ingredients, you’ll want to store it in the fridge and keep it up to one month. Use it right away. You’ll love it!
I’ve posted lots of easy beauty recipes on my blog already with more to come. Check them out and give them a try! They are all simple to make and feel wonderful on your skin!

Thanks for the idea and recipe. This will make the perfect “thank you” gift for family and friends at our Thanksgiving gathering this year. Are there any special storing instructions? And how long will this recipe keep in sealed mason jar?
Cheers,

I would store it in the fridge because it does have food ingredients. That will keep it fresh longer. I keep mine up to a month in the fridge.
Courtney says

My daughter regularly takes sugar into the shower with her saying she refuses to pay money for a sugar scrub! What a great holiday gift that I can make for her when she comes home for Thanksgiving vacation! Thanks! -Fredda
