Fall is finally here, and pumpkin season has officially arrived! Everywhere you look, there’s pumpkin spice everything. So why not bring that cozy, seasonal goodness into your skincare routine?
I’ve created a nourishing, non-toxic Pumpkin Probiotic Glow Scrub that’s as good for your skin as it smells. Think of it as fall in a jar.
Why we love this scrub:
- Pumpkin is rich in enzymes and antioxidants that help gently resurface and brighten dull complexions.
- Probiotics support a balanced skin microbiome for calmer, more resilient skin.
- Vitamin C delivers antioxidant power, boosts radiance, and supports collagen production.
- Jojoba beads polish the skin without irritation. They’re smooth, biodegradable, and much gentler than sugar scrubs.
- Avocado oil, coconut oil, and honey deeply hydrate and nourish, giving your skin that silky, post-facial feel.
If you’re looking for a source for jojoba beads, I like the organic white jojoba wax beads from H&B Oils Center. Their beads are pure, clean, and available in small sizes so you can easily try them out.
This is one of my favorite seasonal rituals to keep my skin glowing and hydrated through cooler weather.
Give it a try, and let me know how your skin feels after your own little pumpkin spa moment!
With love and a pumpkin spice glow,
