The summertime is all about getting some much needed rest and relaxation. What better way to satisfy your selfcare needs than adding CBD-infused skincare to your summer regimens?
The colder months might’ve left you feeling stressed and depressed, which can significantly affect your skin’s appearance and texture. Adding CBD to your skincare helps you get your skin much-needed TLC. CBD has hydrating and anti-inflammatory qualities which reduces redness and leaves the skin looking supple all summer long.
CBD has been making its way into mainstream skincare companies, such as Kiehls and Origins, becoming an essential ingredient in many of their products. Though the majority of these companies aren’t Cannabis-specific skincare brands, it is apparent that CBD is increasing its popularity in the beauty industry.
We’ve rounded up sixteen of our favorite skincare productsthat are perfect for the summertime, all due to the star of the special ingredient lineup: Cannabis.
