I did a quick Instagram video making the Sugar Scrub too. It is so easy!  To use you can apply it to your face, hands and body.  I like to apply it to dry skin or slightly moist and gently scrub with a washcloth or my hands for 2-3 minutes before I was it off.  Because the scrub is made with natural and perishable ingredients the pumpkin sugar scrub should be used within 4-6 weeks and refrigerate any leftovers.
