This Chai Spiced Latte Body Scrub Smells So Delicious, I Want to Eat It With a Spoon

As much as I'd like to believe I'm a big summer gal, the fall is hands down my favourite season. The holidays coupled with the great weather here in New York City, and my love for all things pumpkin [1], vanilla, and chai flavoured and scented make me flat out obsessed. But while I love to drink and eat all things vaguely related to the season, I also love to hunt for fall-themed beauty products [2] to try. My latest find: the London Grant Co. Chai Spiced Latte Body Polish [3].

The Chai Spiced Latte Body Polish is a new, limited-edition product from London Grant Co. for fall. The brand, founded by Tiffany Staten, makes small-batch, simple, and safe body products using only natural, organic, nontoxic, plant-based ingredients. She started with a body butter in 2016 and has branched out to an array of other products [4]. To that note, the body scrub is formulated with spices like cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and ginger to give it that delicious seasonal scent, as well as finely ground espresso beans, black tea, and coconut sugar to help exfoliate your skin and apricot, almond, and coconut oil to boost moisture.

I'm a big fan of body scrubs and use one every time I shower, so the Chai Spiced Latte Body Polish was a welcome addition to my routine. When I first opened the jar, the scent reminded me of a delicious fall drink or baked good. (In short, I wanted to eat it with a spoon.) The texture, thanks to the mixture of espresso beans, black tea, and coconut sugar, has a nice feel to it without being too rough or abrasive. As you work it into wet skin, the oils begin to melt and leave you feeling soft and moisturised.

The Chai Spiced Latte Body Polish [5] ($26) boasts the ability to buff away dry, dull skin and help with scars and stretch marks as a long-term benefit. This is because cinnamon and clove help increase blood flow and reduce redness and inflammation, and the exfoliating agents help boost circulation and promote collagen production.

A little bit of this scrub goes a long way, but I guarantee you'll want to bathe in it — literally. It's the perfect fall-scented body product for anyone who isn't big on pumpkin but still wants to get in the cosy-season mood.
