With marijuana dispensaries (both medicinal and recreational) popping up throughout the country, cannabis is smoking hot — and it's seeping into different types of products.
USA WEEKEND's McKenna Grant tried beauty products called Cannabis Beauty Defined (starting at $50). Though they don't claim any mind-altering effects, they are made with hemp oil. Her report:
In cleansers I look for two things: (1) Fresh-looking skin. (2) The easy removal of all makeup. The Cannabis Beauty Defined Cleanser almost effectively removed all makeup, but fell a bit short. I also would have preferred a more soapy texture as opposed to the lotion-y consistency. However, my skin wasn't too oily or too dry as a result, which is a hard balance to obtain!
Who doesn't want super smooth skin? The Cannabis Beauty Defined Exfoliant, which vows to remove excess surface oil without drying your skin, produces just that. The product wasn't too rough and wasn't too gentle – exactly what I look for in an exfoliant.
Last was the Cannabis Beauty Defined Moisturizer. A big no-no with moisturizers is leaving skin oily and shiny. The moisturizer did not disappoint my usually sensitive skin -- my skin was super smooth and looked great. The scent was another matter. I want a refreshing, clean scent – not an earthy odor.
Cannabis Beauty Defined also offers toner, salve and an anti-aging therapeutic soak. Bottom line – Cannabis Beauty Defined works just as well as skin-care lines you'll find in your pharmacy -- only with hemp among the ingredients.
