GRN 250mg Hemp Extract Coconut Hemp Infused Lotion By Lisa Blake The arrival of this lotion couldn’t have come at a better time – it was December, aka parched skin month. My hands in particular are like sandpaper in winter months, between temperamental offi ce aircon, ice cold air, sweaty gym sessions, boozy Christmas parties and clammy tube journeys (it’s a glam life but someone’s gotta lead it). I really love the texture of this one as it’s thicker than an everyday face moisturizer but not too thick that you need time to dry off before pulling clothes on. I only used it on my face at nighttime and everywhere else on my body after a shower. It has a gorgeous smell! To help me verbalize it, I stuck my cheek under my boyfriend’s nose and asked him to describe it: “If it were a material, it would be thick, rich velvet. It’s luscious innit.” And there we have it. Who knew hemp and coconut were such a perfect pair? GRN certainly did. Probably the most luxurious feeling lotion of all the CBD skincare I’ve tried! Doctor Green’s 200mg CBD tattoo butter By Lucy MacKinnon After getting another new tattoo the other weekend (sorry Mom!) I was curious to see just how the ‘healing’ properties of CBD matched up against other tattoo aftercare care products. Anti-infl ammation is a must! So I applied Doctor Green’s tattoo butter three times a day for three days straight and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. At a fi rst glance I thought there were little exfoliating beads in the butter, but when applying the creamy texture, I noticed these broke down quickly and hydrated my sore skin almost immediately. With cocoa butter, aloe vera, coconut oil, almond oil and that all-important CBD in the mix, it is no shock this tattoo butter seemed to nourish and calm my new tattoo after just three days. 135
