After a particularly stressful day, I took a dropper full of this refreshing peppermint-flavored CBD and placed it under my tongue for 60 seconds, then swallowed. What I really like about this CBD oil is that the dropper is marked, so I knew exactly how much I was consuming. Within 20 minutes I felt calmer, kind of like I had just come from a yoga class (without having to do any of the work).
One of my all-time fave skin care products is Josie Maran's classic argan oil. So of course I had to try this version, which is souped-up with 100 mg of CBD. And it definitely delivered. The combo of 100 percent pure argan oil and CBD provides lightweight hydration, antioxidant protection, and soothing effects. I used this at night, skipping moisturizer afterward and woke up with clear, glowing skin.
For my second go-around with an ingestible CBD oil, I chose this one, also THC-free, which is made from hemp grown on ethical farms in Colorado. This dropper is also clearly marked, which makes dosing so easy. The subtle orange flavor was truly delish, so in addition to using this as a tincture under the tongue, I also added it to my nightly seltzer for a citrus kick. Within 20 minutes, I felt calmer. Those deadlines I had approaching didn't feel so daunting anymore.
With temps rising into the 90s in NYC, I knew I had to get my hands on this cooling spray, formulated with peppermint, lavender, witch hazel, and full spectrum CBD oil. And boy, did it chill my skin out. After coming home after a walk in the heat, my face was beet-red. I spritzed this all over, and it instantly cooled me down and soothed my overheated skin. I ended up putting it in my fridge for an extra icy sensation, now that we're in peak summer.
Believe it or not, I've never used essential oils before, so I was very curious about this product. It contains CBD alongside relaxers like lavender and orange. It's also formulated with magnifier quartz, which is supposed to turbocharge the effects of the CBD and the essential oils. I slowly inhaled the essential oil, then applied it to my wrists and the back of my neck. I felt instant tension relief in my head and neck after sniffing and applying the CBD/essential oil blend, so I stashed it in my purse and used it whenever I got stressed during the day.
