Sweet pump­kin scrub. Mix in a small bowl: 1 cup pump­kin puree, 1 cup sug­ar, a pinch of cin­na­mon. Mix every­thing until a homo­ge­neous mass is obtained. Apply to the body with gen­tle, rotat­ing move­ments. Then rinse your skin with warm water. This scrub gen­tly exfo­li­ates dead skin and restores it.
Pump­kin “pie” for legs and arms. This scrub for hands and feet will remove rough skin. After it, the skin will become soft and mois­tur­ized.

Mix all ingre­di­ents thor­ough­ly. Rub the mix­ture into the feet and hands, pay spe­cial atten­tion to hard­ened places and cuti­cles. Leave the mix­ture on the skin for 15–20 min­utes and rinse with warm water.

Vanil­la cof­fee scrub. Take 50 g of white rice and cof­fee beans, 1 vanil­la pod or a pinch of vanil­la sug­ar, 1 cup of nat­ur­al yogurt. Grind rice, cof­fee, vanil­la into a homo­ge­neous pow­der in a cof­fee grinder. Then pour into a small bowl and add a lit­tle warm water to make a paste. Apply to body and rub vig­or­ous­ly. Then rinse off the paste with water and cov­er the treat­ed areas with a thin lay­er of yogurt to mois­tur­ize the skin. Hold for 5 min­utes and rinse with water.
