Today’s Lunch Time Poll is sponsored and inspired by Andrew. Our fine New York governor has legalized cannabis and I do believe it’s somehow made the world of CBD beauty boom again (or maybe it’s booming because Summer’s here! For some reason CBD beauty gets a mighty push and starts to trend in the warmer weather!). Cheers Andrew! I don’t smoke but the rest of the state of New York is very excited about this news.
No but seriously, anyone notice that little trickle of new CBD items popping up here and there. From what I’m seeing drugstore beauty is starting to embrace the use of CBD in some of their latest launches. Flower Beauty just launched their Summer 2021 Collection which is all infused with CBD. Considering the trend has had a run with mid and high-end brands it’s just about time that the drugstore world caught on. I actually lean towards the gimmick side of things when it comes to CBD. I question how much CBD is used and if it’ll have any skin benefits at all. The hype around cannabidiol is the fact that it’s a great antioxidant and has many anti-inflammatory benefits. But most important it’s an excellent way to treat free radical damage. Those with sensitive skin will experience the most benefits from it.
One thing to note is that if it is formulated into your favorite serum or moisturizer it can be absorbed easily into the skin. However, I think my skepticism doesn’t stem from the act...
