Salt scrubs are not only a spa favorite for lifting moods and making you feel better, but they can also reduce inflammation and flush out toxins. When you add pumpkin spice to the mix, you get the perfect fall pick me up in this recipe for pumpkin spice salt scrub!
Keep it for yourself or make it for a friend.
You’ll need epsom salt, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin flavoring or extract, and red and orange soap colorant.
Start by adding the epson salts and baking soda to a large mixing bowl along with the pumpkin pie spice.
Add the pumpkin extract. Note, this is a pumpkin flavoring, but please don’t eat this salt scrub. ;0 Stir together.
Add the colorings. You’re mixing the red and yellow here to get an orange color. Add more coloring to get a darker orange color.
Stir well to evenly distribute the colors. Because of the texture of the epson salts you’ll get a variety of color in the salt scrub.
Transfer the salt scrub into an air tight container. I like these small jars with attached lids. They’re great for gift giving.

Thanks for sharing this scrub recipe. I am definitely going to make it very soon. Recently I have tried Himalayan salt scrub which was also very good. It made my skin very soft and glowing. Himalayan salt has so many benefits for the skin. I use it in cooking as well and really like it.
This scrub looks really nice and fragrant. Thanks for the recipe.
As we know that salt is a preservative, the scrub could last anywhere from one to two years without going rancid. Sugar is also a preservative, but a sugar-based scrub will only last for a few months. Thanks for this informative stuff.
