This is the perfect body scrub for fall! Honestly, I don’t really like pumpkin pie. There’s something about it … I don’t know … I think it’s the texture!

I do like pumpkin pie spice though. So many delicious beverages and treats you can make with this tasty blend of spices!

Have you ever thought of using pumpkin pie spice on your skin though? It may seem a little strange, but when you look into the skin benefits associated with these spices, it really isn’t.

The combination of ingredients used in this body scrub will not only leave your skin soft, smooth, and radiant, but it will also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and fight against acne and pimples.

Skin Benefits of Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Scrub

Coffee grounds make a great exfoliator for your skin. Note: Would not recommend for exfoliating the skin on your face; too abrasive.

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is known for its antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. It also makes a great skin moisturizer.

Olive oil is a great skin moisturizer and softener.

Cinnamon is helpful in the treatment of acne and pimples. It’s also antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal.

Nutmeg is anti-inflammatory. It reduces the redness caused by acne. It’s astringent component naturally tightens your skin.

Ginger is super high in antioxidants, which helps to protect the skin from the damage caused by free radicals. Ginger also aids in the prevention of blemishes and acne, and improves skin tone.

Cloves are effective in the treatment of acne and blemishes. Also reduces the appearance of scars.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Scrub for Naturally Sexy Smooth Skin - Sophisticated Booty

Recipe: D.I.Y. Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Scrub

  • Notes
  • If your coconut oil isn’t liquid at room temperature, I would suggest using olive oil. You want the consistency of the scrub to be easily spreadable.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup coffee grounds, dry
  • 4-5 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Directions:

  • Mix all ingredients together. Store in an airtight container. This recipe makes enough for me to do my enitre body once.
  • Scoop out some of the scrub, and gently start massaging it into your skin, using a circular motion.
  • I start at my neck, and work my way down to my feet. I give my elbows, knees, and ankles a little extra attention.
  • When I’m done, I rinse the scrub off with warm water.
  • Vuala! It’s that simple!

Warning: This scrub may make your shower/tub floor slippery! Please be careful!
