Pumpkin facial scrub with coffee can brighten your complexion

“Adding antioxidant-rich pumpkin to sugar, an exfoliant, makes it a super-gentle way to slough off dead skin cells,” Padgett says. “And ground coffee, which contains caffeine, boosts circulation to make your skin glow.”

If all of the above sounds good to you, you'll want to try out our pumpkin face scrub recipe below. The best thing about this DIY pumpkin exfoliant is how easy it is to make!
