5 Cannabis Skincare Products You Need to Try

The Benefits of Cannabis Skincare Products

First of all, it’s important to distinguish cannabis and hemp: cannabis refers to the flower while hemp refers to the seeds and stems. The majority of beauty products use hemp oil because CBD-only products can be sold across straight lines; THC products need to be sold in the state they are produced.

On the beauty front, we are not missing out on much with this dominance of CBD products. Hemp oil is a natural moisturizer and one of the least greasy base oils, so it’s perfect for soaps, lotions and balms. It is also anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and is filled with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Topically, you will get muscle and skin benefits from CBD lotions and salves, and they can be used to relieve minor aches and pains as well. Some spas are getting on the cannabis bandwagon and offering massages with THC-infused oils that offer even more relief.

These medicinal ointments are also popping up in more and more dispensaries. Overall the point of hemp-based beauty products is to bring their basic benefits into our everyday lives. Many are also formulated to give you a calm feeling and contain fragrances designed to soothe your mind and relieve stress.

Weed-infused beauty products will not get you high. They are not designed to penetrate your skin and won’t enter your bloodstream, so just think of them as another natural alternative in your skincare regimen.

So do we have you convinced? If so, we encourage you to check out any of these hemp-tastic beauty products.

Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Hemp Tea Tree Pure-Castile Soap

What can’t you do with this amazing soap? From cleansing your face to mopping the floor, Dr. Bonner’s Castile Soap can clean it all, but it’s particularly revered for its acne-fighting ability. This soap is organic and fair trade and has a nice woody scent. The hemp seed oil’s anti-inflammatory properties combined with tea tree essential oil—known for antimicrobial and antibacterial qualities—makes this all-natural soap as effective as benzoyl peroxide. The hemp oil also counteracts the dryness some people experience with tea tree alone, making Dr. Bonner’s Castile Soap a real winning combination.
