5 Ways to Add Cannabis to Your Grooming Regimen

Caitlin Agnew April 20, 2020

Cannabis has been spreading like, well, a weed to all sorts of different products, including skincare. Hemp seed oil has long been used to hydrate and nourish skin, while CBD (short for cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive cousin of THC) is being added for its anti-inflammatory properties to help with redness and acne. From beard balms to face wash, an elevated skincare routine is finally within reach.
