We are practically experts at scoping out these flavors to eat, so why not try them on our face and body? These quick and easy DIY beauty products will help nourish your skin and hair as they adjust to the colder weather, and you will smell absolutely delicious.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Face Mask

The combination of coffee and pumpkin has the potential to do more than boost your energy in the mornings. Pumpkin is filled with alpha hydroxy acids, enzymes and vitamins, making it a perfect exfoliant to revitalize your skin. Just mix the ingredients, apply evenly over your face and leave it on for 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground coffee

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon pumpkin puree

3 tablespoons honey

Autumn Cinnamon Hair Mask

Now that you have given your skin a boost, it is time to give your hair some attention. This mask will leave your hair clean, glossy, super soft and, most importantly, smelling delicious. Once you mix the ingredients, warm them for a couple of seconds in the microwave and apply, starting at the scalp and moving down your strands. Try to wait before rinsing it out for as long as you can, but the ideal time would be an hour. If you have longer locks, double the ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons cinnamon

Vegan Salted Caramel Face Mask/Scrub

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon coconut oil
