SUN + SKIN + CBD

Summer is officially here, and that means that you are likely spending more of your days outside soaking up the sunshine.

Whether outside in our gardens, by the lakeside, pool, beach, or out for a walk or playtime, we spend a lot of time outdoors in the heat of summer. Our skin, therefore, is busy working overtime as our body’s largest organ. It’s soaking in the delicious Vitamin D, and repelling the harmful UV rays. 


One of the products we use the most in the summer months is our Body Butter + CBD. It contains a healing essential oil blend to help repair skin damage, and hemp and CBD, which are anti inflammatory. The shea butter and cacao are hydrating. For all these reasons, we dub our Body Butter + CBD as the best “skin food” around!

 
Here are three ways to use our deliciously nourishing body butter this summer season! 


 1- After sun care: Rich in vitamins and antioxidants that protect and nourish, applying our moisturizing formula can help instantly rescue skin from distress caused by prolonged sun exposure. Slather on our creamy body butter and you’ll be preventing further damage from sun-induced ailments like sun burn. 


2- Hair tip treatment: After you’ve applied the Body Butter + CBD to your body, your hands will likely have a bit of balm left on them. Take that subtle amount of body butter and rub it into the tips of your hair to keep the ends smooth and healthy! This is a fast and easy way to give your hair a moisture boost. 


3- Hair mask: We all know that going from the chemicals in a pool to the saltwater of the ocean, and other general use of hair products can take a toll on our hair. Body Butter + CBD as a hair mask is a great way to renew dry and damaged hair. Simply apply a generous amount of the butter to the hair, massaging it in from the roots to the tips.

For longer hair, apply a braid, or slick back if you have a shorter style. Leave it on for several hours or over night and then simply wash out. Pro tip: If doing an over night treatment, cover your pillow case with a towel to avoid staining.

YOUR SKIN + THE ENVIRONMENT

” As the body’s largest organ, our skin deserves the best. This summer, take extra care with your body by caring for your skin. Some of my top suggestions include avoiding exposure to the sun during the peak of the day (between 12pm and 3pm). If you do go out during these times, sit under the umbrella, or in the shade of a tree—and always wear a hat.


I also suggest wearing sunscreen whenever appropriate. In this way, caring for your skin is also an opportunity to help care for the greater environment. When you use sunblock, get the good stuff, which in my book means chemical-free and reef-safe.

At the beaches, rivers, lakes, and other waterways, these sunscreens get into the water, which can damage the waterways and the life that is dependent on that ecosystem. So I always want to be sure that my family’s sunscreens are safe for our environment and our skin.” ~ with love, Melaine.
