It’s officially Fall and you know what that means – it’s pumpkin season. Everything’s coming up pumpkins. I went food shopping this weekend and spotted pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin-stuffed ravioli, among other pumpkin delights.
But pumpkin is not only for eating. Celebrity nail artist and owner of As U Wish Nail Salon, Hoboken, NJ, Skyy Hadley notes, “Pumpkins are more than just for carving on Halloween. They’re rich in vitamins and nutrients and can do wonders for your feet!” Skyy explained that pumpkins contain “various enzymes that help nourish and brighten the skin, and just by adding raw sugar you have a perfect foot scrub.”
I’m a huge fan of Skyy Hadley’s and have published many of her DIY beauty recipes in the pages of EverBeautiful.com. They’re fun to make of ingredients you can find on supermarket shelves and they work. Below, Skyy Hadley’s DIY Pumpkin Foot Scrub …
PUMPKIN FOOT SCRUB
Ingredients:
1 can pureed pumpkin
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup raw sugar
2 tablespoons honey

Directions:
Mix pureed pumpkin in a bowl. Stir in a yogurt, honey, sugar and olive oil. Wash your feet in warm water, and while your feet are moist, apply the scrub using your hands in a circular motion. Massage the mask onto your feet for 10 minutes on each foot and remove with warm water and a washcloth.
