A great way to smooth out any skin issues standing in the way of your chilly yet cheery days ahead is to use a cannabis infused body butter.
It’s hard enough transitioning from the warm months of summer to the cold days of fall and winter. But add to that dry flakey elbows, itchy knees, and moisture deprived skin from just about everywhere else on your body, and you may start forgetting that winter is supposed to be idyllic: comfortable, cozy, seasonally uplifted and perhaps even jolly. An easy way to ensure your skin matches your spirit is by using a cannabis infused body butter.
Body butters are already a luxurious way to combat dry skin, but adding the anti-inflammatory properties of THC, CBD or a combination thereof is the cherry on top. Plus, the following companies are small batch, ecologically aware, source wonderful ingredients, and make their creams with love and dignity.
Luxury Unisex Ultra Strength Body Lotion
Lord Jones’ extra strength, high CBD, full spectrum body lotion is cooling on contact as well as being fast absorbing and a lifesaver for skin conditions. It penetrates deep and carries the scents of Lord Jones’ signature fragrance: fresh with notes of sage, mint and green citrus. This is definitely a unisex smell and has neutral packaging that edges on the luxury look, with majestic elk holding up information on the product and adorning the packaging and bottle.
