I received a set of multi-purpose jars from PaperMart in order to facilitate this post. I was not financially compensated. Thank you to PaperMart for partnering with me. And thank you readers for supporting the brand that support this blog and my family.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I’ve said it before, if it makes me basic to love all things pumpkin at this time of the year, I don’t want to be un-basic\u2026.non-basic\u2026? Whatever the case, I’m going to embrace the hell out of my basic label and tell you that this DIY Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub is a fantastic way to get your pumpkin fix and pamper yourself at the same time. It’s really simple to whip up and I made several batches to gift my mom, sister, and family friend during our annual Big Bear Halloween visit.<\/p>\n

To start, you’ll add some brown sugar and white sugar into a large bowl.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/p>\n

Next add in some pumpkin pie spice, some ground coffee, and a dash of cinnamon.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/p>\n

Mix everything together until it’s well combined.<\/p>\n

Finally, add in coconut oil. You can use almond oil or even olive oil too if you don’t have coconut oil on hand.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/p>\n

Combine everything together until it’s well saturated and looks like this.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/p>\n

Transfer to containers. For some unknown reason, I never remember to purchase a funnel for my kitchen and resorted to using a trimmed down water bottle. Worked just as well.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/p>\n

You’ll want to store this in an air tight container. I found these little sugar scrub containers from PaperMart<\/a>. One batch fills three of these and they’re the perfect size for using the scrub without it lasting well into December\/January. Because that’s peppermint season for me. Basic. So basic.<\/p>\n

I would recommend that you use it within the next 3-6 months. While it will be safe to use after that, you’ll start to lose the pumpkin spice scent and efficiency of the coffee, which helps reduce redness and inflammation.<\/p>\n
