Cinderella Sugar Scrub
Ingredients
One Small White Pumpkin
1 cup of White Sugar
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
1/2 cup of Raw Cane Sugar
2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
1-2 tsp of Pumpkin Spice Seasoning
1 tsp and 1 tbsp Sunflower Oil (Separated.)
1 tsp Milk
1 tbsp All Natural Light Agave Honey
Substitutions: You can use Olive Oil or Grapeseed Oil instead of Sunflower Oil. I prefer Sunflower or Grapeseed for scrubs, since Olive Oil has such a distinct scent. It can sometimes over ride the smell of the scrub. You can also do with out the honey or use a regular, all-natural honey. I used honey because it’s good for your skin and it adds to the smell. The pumpkin Spice adds more of a sweet pumpkin-y smell to the scrub. Since raw pumpkin is a little potent! This helps strengthen the pumpkin smell in a good way, but you can leave that out if you’d like.
Step One
Clean out your pumpkin.
Step Two
Slice the pumpkin like an apple and cut out all the meat you can find.
Step Three
Put the pumpkin in a food processor or blender and chop it up finely. You’ll want it the size of rice grains.
Step Four
Once your pumpkin is chopped; add 1tsp or Milk and 1tsp of Sunflower Oil. Mix once or twice more. This just helps smooth out your mixture.
Step Five
Add the pumpkin, brown sugar, and raw sugar to a small mixing bowl.
Step Six
In another small bowl whisk together your honey and oil. Then add that to the pumpkin and sugars.. After you whisk all that together, mix in your vanilla.
Step Seven
Add the White Sugar.
Step Eight
Add the Pumpkin Spice.
You are done! Now you get to enjoy it!
