8 CBD Products to Add to Your Beauty Routine
April 20, 2021CBD has been growing in popularity over the past few years, first as a stress-reliever for the mind and now as a soothing beauty ingredient as well. If you're new to the ingredient, CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, a psychoactive compound from cannabis plants, CBD cannot get you high and is legal. Topically, CBD has been shown to decrease inflammation and reduce sebum production, plus it has antioxidant properties.
If you’ve been interested in trying a CBD topical (i.e. a product applied on the skin or hair), there’s no shortage of products to choose from. Whether you’re acne-prone, have sensitive skin or want to incorporate more anti-aging ingredients into your routine, CBD is a good candidate. Here, we’re sharing our top CBD-infused picks, from a face oil to a shampoo.
Face Oil: Herbivore Botanicals CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil
In this face oil, full-spectrum CBD (meaning it contains various compounds derived from cannabis, excluding THC) is used to calm redness and irritation on dry, sensitive skin. It also contains glow-boosting and moisturizing oils like squalane and meadowfoam oils.
Gel Moisturizer: Wldkat Mushroom + Moss Gel Cream
For a light moisturizer, check out this gel cream that’s fast-absorbing yet packs a punch. In addition to CBD, it contains anti-inflammatory mushroom extract and hydrating hyaluronic acid.
Lip Balm: Vertly Lip Butter
Chapped lips have no chance against a CBD lip balm like this one from Vertly. CBD, shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil and hempseed oil work together to nourish, heal and seal in moisture.
