Joe Moralez • March 31, 2026

If your skin could use a boost during this seasonal transition, we have a treat for you! This scrub is especially effective if you towel dry after showering or bathing. Apply it and vigorously scrub until the salt and sugar dissolve, then rinse. Your skin will be exfoliated, invigorated, and oh-so-moisturized with a light and spicy scent. Yum!



  • ½ cup brown sugar or demerara sugar
  • ½ cup sea salt or Epsom salt
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 1 Tbl pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cinnamon stick for scooping


  1. In a medium bowl, add brown sugar, sea salt, matcha powder, and pumpkin pie spice and stir until uniform.
  2. Drizzle in the coconut oil and mix thoroughly.
  3. If the mixture seems a bit too crumbly, add more coconut oil. When you’ve reached the desired consistency, spoon your scrub into a container and cover until ready for use.
