CBD

It’s 2019 and weed is getting trippier than it was in the ‘60s – just not for the reasons you might think. The buzzy ingredient has now evolved into a bonafide skin-care trend that’s steadily staking a claim in our beauty cabinets. Technically knows as cannabis, the psychoactive plant is gaining ground as one of the most unconventional yet effective beauty ingredients that has given rise to a new wave of CBD beauty products. Loaded with benefits like calming, healing and anti-inflammatory properties, weed beauty is emerging as a force to reckon with, and no it won’t get you high. Extracted from the leaves and flowering buds of the cannabis plant, CBD infused oils, perfumes, and moisturizers have been known to work wonders in soothing stress, easing aches, getting rid of stubborn acne, and even prolonging your skin’s health. From clean beauty brands to mainstream cosmetic chains, everyone is adding CBD beauty products to their offerings. If you don’t mind a bit of experimenting, we suggest ditching your regular serums and nights creams to try an all-new CBD skincare routine. Here’s what's we've been eyeing.
