Are you a fan of pumpkins?
How long does this keep? I make my own sigar scrubs but I typically use essential oils.
ReplyDeleteHey Christy,
DeleteIt should last at least a week if you put it in the fridge.
Hey Lou,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this amazing recipe. This is a great DIY foot scrub for homeschooling moms who at times don't even get time to visit the salon. One quick question though, in case the store is out of canned pumpkin puree, do I boil the pumpkin before mashing it or just turn raw pumpkin into puree.
I would just turn raw pumpkin into puree.
