CBD Embrace Relax bath salts By Lucy MacKinnon I recently moved into a new house so I needed a relaxing bath! My body felt of stiff joints and sore muscles. Someone told me that using a CBD bath bomb or bath salts like this packet can really help with that sort of thing. I used the full pack and soaking it all in, I could feel the pressure in my body slowly release and I could almost feel my skin re-hydrating, getting smoother and softer as I began to unwind. Taking a bath is already a relaxing activity of course. But 30mg of full spectrum CBD combined with the fl oral yet sharp scent of coriander and mint took this ‘me time’ ritual one step further. I woke up the following day with satin-like skin, no stiffness and an energised attitude so I think I have CBD Embrace to thank for that. Would defi nitely recommend! 100mg CLEARSKIN Moisturizer By Lucy Booth CLEARSKIN Soap By Phoebe Fuller 30mg CBD per bar This claims to be an Acne Cleansing CBD Soap with Activated Charcoal. I’m something of a skincare junkie, so I was really excited when our editor asked me to review this CBD soap with activated charcoal. This full spectrum offering boasts 30mg of CBD per bar, with hemp oil, shea butter and a skin-friendly concoction of essential oils. This soap is entirely un-fragranced, which is good news for those with sensitive skin (ahem, me!). Having spot prone and very sensitive skin, me and moisturizing creams have never got along. They either cause my skin to become too oily or irritate my skin, which causes more angry fl are ups and break outs. Also to add to that, in winter I always seem to get an area of dryness around my nose… I have it all going on! I have used creams, lotions, balms, gels, oils and serums from various brands over the years to no avail. But saying that, I have been very pleasantly surprised with Clearskin 1000mg CBD skin moisturizer by CBD Embrace. It has a lovely consistency, not too thick with a fresh smelling scent that’s not overly fragranced. I used this cream for seven days straight and applied twice a day, both morning and night after cleansing and toning. The result? My skin hasn’t been having its usual lunch time oil spill, I haven’t had any break outs or irritated skin and no dry winter nose. What’s going on? My complexion also has a much more even tone to it and I have begun to notice previous marks left by spots have started to fade. This cream is also vegan and cruelty free, which is at the top of my list when buying any beauty product. It looks like me and a moisturizer have fi nally become friends! I’ve got my facial skincare routine down to a fi ne art these days, so I used the soap on my body instead. Once I’d dried off and moisturized, my skin felt very comfortable and I didn’t notice any adverse reactions. I really like that this bar contains activated charcoal even if I’m not entirely convinced by its acne-fi ghting properties, only because there didn’t seem to be enough charcoal coming off the soap to have much of an effect on my existing skin complaints. As a preventative measure against the odd bad skin day. This CBD soap may well be worth a shot. 133
