Cannabis, or rather hemp and CDB oils, has become an increasingly popular skincare ingredient used by brands like Dr.Botanicals, The Body Shop and Eve Lom. While these CBD-infused lotions and potions are filled with essential fatty acids and antioxidants that moisturise and hydrate your skin, there’s now a new way to enjoy all the benefits of CBD – and it’s so relaxing! CBD bath salts and sleep drops are making their debut!

Did you know that CBD can help promote relaxation, allow you to get a better night’s sleep and generally make you feel better? And no, before you ask, it’s not because these products get you high. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It is just naturally soothing and calming.
Plus, when you dissolve a CBD-infused product in hot water and then bathe in that water, your body can absorb the CDB oil faster. You’ll not only enjoy the benefits of a soothing soak (which we can all agree is seriously relaxing) but the calming effects of the CBD too. It’s a win-win!
Will Hemp Products Have The Same Effect?
The terms CBD and hemp are often used interchangeably but there’s actually quite a big difference between the two:
- CBD: Extracted from the stalk, stems and flowers of the cannabis sativa plant, CBD is the ingredient that will have a relaxing effect on your brain.
- Hemp: Made from the seeds of the cannabis sativa plant, it doesn’t have the same relaxing and soothing properties as CBD. However, it is full of antioxidants, amino acids and omega fatty acids, so it will still benefit dry or irritated skin.
So, if you want to feel more chilled, opt for a CBD product. Of course, you can add a few drops of hemp oil into your tub too, as it will keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
The Best Relaxing CBD Products
If you want to relax with a little CBD (today is 4/20 after all -the 4th of April, a.k.a. Cannabis day, written the American way), here are some of the best options:
These 100% pure Epson and Himalayan Salts are enhanced with CBD oil to help you to relax both your body and mind. When your busy, modern life starts to take its toll, these are the key to restoring a sense of clarity and tranquillity.
Just add two or three handfuls of salt into your warm bath and allow them to have a calming effect on your body and mind. Used at night, it will prepare you for a deep, restorative night’s sleep.
This is a fabulous product because it calms tired and irritated skin, whilst also helping you to unwind and get a more restful sleep. The anti-inflammatory CBD reduces redness and puffiness so that you wake up with fresher, smoother and more supple skin.
Simply massage two to three drops into your cleansed skin before bed.
If you want to harness the benefits of hemp too, then give this in-shower oil a try. Enriched with hemp-derived cannabis sativa seed oil, it wraps your skin in a moisturising veil that leaves skin feeling velvety-soft and silky-smooth. Add a few drops to your warm bath and allow your skin to soak in the nourishing formula.
And there you have it, all of the relaxing benefits of CBD, as well as three CBD-infused products to help you make the most of this oil. Remember, you can use your GLOSSYCredit to purchase all of the above on lookfantastic!
