Pumpkin and Spice Sugar Scrub - Bath Blend of the Month

This month's blend caters to the Pumpkin Spice Lover. It is a combination of pumpkin and the spices that love it to make a facial scrub with all the special properties of pumpkin for skin soothing and repairing.


Pumpkin is very good for the skin. Since pumpkin is 94% water content it can keep skin moisturized and supple. It also contains vitamins B and E, which help maintain the skin's natural moisture balance. And is a good source of minerals like copper and zinc, which can help fade brown spots from acne and sun damage. There are natural enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) in pumpkin which increase cell turnover, which can soften, brighten, and smooth the skin. They can also help remove dead skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. So all-in-all making a facial scrub with some pumpkin is a great idea.
