Fall isn’t just about pumpkin spice lattes and cozy candles it’s also the perfect time to give your skin a little extra love. Every year, I love making seasonal scrubs because they’re simple, non-toxic, and feel so luxurious. This pumpkin body scrub is one of my favorites it smells like fall in a jar and makes your skin feel soft and refreshed.
This pumpkin body scrub recipe recipe makes about 5–6 ounces, just enough to enjoy for yourself or share as a sweet handmade gift.

Finally, stir in the pumpkin powder until everything is smooth and combined. Transfer to a jar, and you’re done!
Notes:

- If you’d like, mix in a bit of orange mica powder for that warm fall look.
- Any carrier oil works, try almond for light moisture, coconut for a richer feel, or even an herb-infused oil for extra skin benefits.
