This homemade pumpkin spice latte sugar scrub is perfect for fall. It’s infused with a pumpkin, coffee, and cinnamon scent that will remind you of a pumpkin spice latte!
If we’re friends in real life you know that I’m completely obsessed with Starbucks. When pumpkin spice lattes arrive every year you can guarantee I’m waiting in line on the first day. I wanted to combine two of my favorite fall scents, coffee and pumpkin, into a sugar scrub that I could enjoy over the Fall. This scrub recipe turned out exactly like i imagined, smelling amazing and leaving my hands feeling moisturized.
DIY Sugar Scrub
Not only is making your own sugar scrubs cost effective but they’re easily adaptable to everyone’s preference. My suggestion is to play around with the ingredients until you find the scent and texture of your liking. I like a less oily scrub but you could easily increase the almond oil for a thinner scrub texture. Also, adjust the pumpkin spice and cinnamon by a tsp or two if you prefer a stronger scent.
This scrub has a variety of beneficial nutrients for your skin. The sugars help exfoliate dead skin cells while the vitamin e oil and almond oil nourish dry skin.

November 15, 2014 at 2:46 pmCan you use coconut oil instead of almond oil?

November 15, 2014 at 3:25 pmDefinitely! I use coconut oil in most of my scrubs but used almond oil in this one to avoid the coconut scent. Increase the pumpkin spice or cinnamon if needed.

October 4, 2017 at 2:19 amWill it matter if you use pumpkin spice coffee or just regular coffee? Or would it be better to use pumpkin spice coffee for the diy pumpkin spice scrub?
