You’re probably putting your shorts and dresses away and breaking out those jeans, pants, leggings (or jeggings) and tights. Even though you cannot see the dry skin on your legs, it exists and will probably get worse as the weather gets colder. This is an ideal time to exfoliate.
Prepare a scrub from 1/2 cup cooked, pureed pumpkin and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Apply to your body using gentle, circular motions and then rinse off with warm water.
