Beauty DIY: Pumpkin Pie Body Scrub

How was your Halloween? Keeping with my annual tradition, I adorned my place with pumpkin paraphenalia, bought enough candy for every child in Atlanta, and had zero Trick or Treaters knock at my door. At least Charlie looked cute! I was gonna watch a scary movie and eat candy, but chickened out (typical me) and used up the last of this Pumpkin Pie Body Scrub. Here's how:

So last month, I showed you how to make a Pumpkin Facial Mask, and I asked you to keep the extra pumpkin & freeze it. If you did that, go ahead and let it defrost and then strain the excess water before beginning!

I N G R E D I E N T S 
1 c sugar
1/2 c pumpkin puree (I used canned, but freshly pureed sugar/baking pumpkins works too)
1/4 c sweet almond oil (or vitamin e oil)
1 tsp nutmeg

M E T H O D
Mix ingredients and carefully pour into a resealable container. This should keep for around a week.

N O T E S

• Pumpkins are a great source of vitamins A, C, and zinc. They're great for those with acne or oily skin.
• Sugar acts as an exfoliant.
• Sweet almond oil softens the skin and adds moisture.
• Nutmeg smooths skin and treats it. It also gives this recipe that pumpkin "pie" smell. 
• I do not use cinnamon, as it can burn and exacerbate skin.
