DIY Vanilla Pumpkin Sugar Scrub

DIY Vanilla Pumpkin Sugar Scrub




This recipe is actually made in two different batches. I wanted to layer the scrub to look like candy corn so the white layer is only scented with vanilla. The Vanilla Pumpkin batch will come out a sandy brown color so if you decide to make both batches and want a pure white layer, it’s a great idea to make the vanilla first so you can reuse the same pot without having to clean in between.

VANILLA SUGAR SCRUB

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Heat the coconut oil on the stove until melted.
2. Add vanilla extract and stir until fully combined.
3. Add vanilla and coconut mixture to the sugar and stir.

VANILLA PUMPKIN SUGAR SCRUB

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
optional: red and yellow liquid food coloring
1. Heat the coconut oil on the stove until melted.
2. Add spices and vanilla, and stir until fully combined.
3. Add liquid to sugar, and stir.
At this point, the mixture will be a light brown color. It can be used now, if you’d like, or you can divide it into two bowls for coloring.
To create the yellow layer, I added 4 drops of yellow food coloring. For the red layer, I added 4 drops of yellow and 3 drops of red. (And no worries, this amount of food coloring in the scrub will not stain your skin.)
And because a cute package isn’t complete without a cute label, I made this printable. It’s available in two different sizes (approximately 1.5 and 3 inches), both of which can be downloaded here.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments.
