CBD Beauty Products to Try Now
It is no secret that CBD beauty products have became increasing popular in the past year or so. More and more research suggests that CBD (aka cannabidiol) is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient. It works with our body’s endocannabinoid system to balance, regulate and restore many physical functions in the body, including the skin. Specialized receptors in skin have been found to regulate the bodily processes that affect the immune system, inflammation, and pain. Research suggests that imbalances of this system may also be responsible for the occurrence of chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, making CBD a great aide.
But with so many options out there, what are the best CBD infused lotions, face creams and slaves on the market? We did the digging and testing for you, and came up with five CBD beauty products worth your money. So why not add them to your holiday shopping list?
Extract Labs CBD Face Cream, $90
Courtesy of brand
This 2.8oz (80g) tin comes packed with 1500mg full spectrum CBD. This means that CBD is derived from cannabis plants that include THC, the hallucinogenic element in marijuana plants. Unlike CBD isolate products, CBD full spectrum is made up of hundreds of cannabinoids embedded in the cannabis plant. CBD advocates say that full spectrum can create a powerful CBD treatment that surpasses so-called CBD isolate products. This face cream is rich and moisturizing and resembles a salve, rather than a regular face cream. After two weeks of use our skin preserved its plumpness and moisture despite sub-zero temperatures in Chicago. It’s great for super dry and sensitive skin. Yes, it’s a bit pricy, but a little goes a long way and it will last you a while. BUY IT!
Charlotte’s Web CBD Oil, $74.99
Inasmuch as this is not an exact CBD beauty product, we had to mention it because it really is that good. It is an ingestible CBD-infused oil (no, it will not get you high) that relieves anxiety, helps with sleep and has anti-cancerous properties. We’ve used it for over a year and can vouch that it works. The oil comes in several flavors — mint chocolate, lemon twist, orange blossom, and olive oil — and several potencies as well. Charlotte’s Web extracts contain CBD plus other naturally occurring phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, essential fatty acids, and more in every serving. BUY IT!
Cannuka Nourishing Body Cream, $28
This is cream combines the power and anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis with ultra-rich and nourishing manuka honey, super moisturizing hyaluronic acid, and grapefruit essential oil that tightens skin, making it one of the best CBD beauty products on the market. Oh, and it treats blemishes too! Trust when we say that your skin will feel baby soft. BUY IT!
Kiehl’s Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Herbal Concentrate, $49
This lightweight facial oil is infused with cannabis sativa hemp-derived seed oil that calms skin and reduces redness. It is fast absorbent, serves as an anti-septic and helps blemish-prone skin. Pimples literally reduce their sizes overnight, and skin feels rested, plump and overall healthier. Highly recommend it! BUT IT!
Green Grove Hemp Creme, $34.95
Courtesy of brand
This CBD cream contains menthol and camphor along with phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil and is used as treatment to an area with pain or some sort of ailment. It works pretty well as an overall body cream, especially to soothe sore muscles after a workout. This cream is also formulated with a rich concentration of essential oils which makes application pretty easy. Great for first time CBD product users! BUY IT!
