For Those Who Don't Want to Smell Earthy
Try: Antedotum Elixir Firming Serum, $125
Skin care that leaves an oily slip isn't for everyone. Ditto for those that carry a forestry scent. Many CBD formulations carry both, but not this firming serum made with 500 mg of full-spectrum CBD/CBG. The creamy liquid carries a lemon-y scent, absorbs in a heartbeat and leaves a glowy sheen on the skin — all thanks to some pretty cool science. The formula contains two types of vitamin C to brighten and taps olive fruit extract and glycerin to create a liquid crystal veil on the skin, which works to lock in hydration and fortify its barrier.
For Those With Sensitive Heads
Try: Fekkai CBD Scalp Calming Hydrating Mask, $28
Whether you have a sensitive scalp or frequently go for back-to-back protective styles, a mask treatment applied in between styling sessions is key. This one, made with CBD (and without silicone, sulfates, phthalates and parabens) helps soothe the scalp while nourishing hair.
For The Person Making The Transition From Conventional to Clean Deodorant
Try: Flora + Bast Deodorizing Body Serum, $28
The road from using a conventional deodorant to opting for an aluminum-free one can be bumpy (hazards include a temporary surge in stink and baking soda-sparked skin rashes). Enter: this body serum, geared for armpits (and other odorous parts of the body). Spray the CBG-rich formula on pits before applying natural deodorant to soothe skin, optimize pH and reduce stink over time.
For the Guy Who Needs a Gateway to Proper Skin Care
Try: Jack Black CBD+HA Serum, $55
Know a guy whose skin care routine starts and stops with whatever bar of soap is in the shower? A buzzy ingredient like CBD — something he's already familiar with from gummies and pre-rolleds — may just be the thing to evolve his skin care. This oil-based serum taps jojoba seed, baobab and avocado oils and hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin and CBD to calm, making this a best bet for the dude who really doesn't want to use a moisturizing cream.
For the Friend With Sensitive Skin
Try: Aethera Beauty Everyday Botanical Brightening Concentrate with CBD, $88
This silky moisturizer packs in a load of botanical actives (including including papaya, turmeric, guava, carrot seed oil, and sweet potato) to brighten skin without the skin-irritating effects of other brighteners (including commonly-used forms of vitamin C and alpha hydroxy acids).
