If you're a HAPPY CBD lover, you already know that National CBD Day falls on August 8th. And if you've been under a rock and not aware of the benefits of CBD, well pour yourself a glass of wine as I share with you the many skin-loving benefits and a must-have new CBD premium product- Happy Dance, created by Kristen Bell, which can now be found at Ulta.
Before I get into the benefits of CBD-infused beauty products, I want to tell you what it isn't, as many have some preconceived perceptions about what CBD is actually all about.
Will CBD Get Me High
First and foremost, CBD will not get you high! CBD stands for cannabidiol, a compound found naturally in hemp plants. Unlike THC, CBD is not intoxicating. And yes, we are sure it won’t get you high.
Ok, So I Will Not Get High From CBD, But What Is The Heck Is It
CBD is a cannabinoid that is extracted from cannabis. Like any other plant species, cannabis comes in various shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors. One group of cannabis strains is called hemp, which is high (no pun intended) in CBD with negligible amounts of THC. While hemp is excellent for things like building materials, textiles, food, and even CBD-based beauty products, what it is not suitable for is getting you high!
It's Time To Look Alive With The Help Of CBD
Okay, now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about this buzz-worthy ingredient found in beauty products. This cannabis compound is favorable for health and wellness and has incredible benefits when used topically, especially for the skin. CBD is known for its healing properties and offers some serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. This is why this superstar ingredient is one of the newest skincare must-haves!
Not only is CBD impressive for anti-aging, moisturizing, bringing that dull skin back to life, boosting hydration, and neutralizing free radical damage. This holy grail ingredient is the secret weapon to fighting the tired mom face syndrome by giving you that alive, fresh face and glowing complexion you had before giving birth! How, you may ask? Find out below.
Stress Is Spoiling The Skin
We all know that stress is horrible for our mental health, but not many know that stress can wreak havoc on the skin. Yep, stress causes our body to produce a hormone called cortisol, aka the stress hormone. This hormone breaks down elastane and collagen, which leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles~~WTF? It can also trigger acne and dull skin from neglect. With our minds preoccupied with work, laundry, kids soccer, dance, and cheerleading practice, moms barely have time to breathe, let alone skincare or a mom beauty routine.
While those kiddies are a blessing, they can be stressful, and that is why Happy Dance, a line of premium CBD products, was created with millennial moms in mind. Why moms? Because if anyone could use a little more boost in their beauty routines, it’s moms.
Just ask co-founder Kristen Bell. Her personal experience with CBD skincare inspired her to create the Happy Dance brand and their newest product, Look Alive CBD Face Moisturizer. As when you can care for yourself, you can better care for those I love.
Tell Me The Benefits Of Happy Dance CBD Face Moisturizer
This replenishing hydrating face cream is the perfect first line of defense against stressed skin, your moisture barrier. CBD has moisturizing properties that can help combat dehydration and dryness that you may have misplaced along the way… under piles of laundry, 4 hours of sleep, or your 8th cup of coffee.
This face moisturizer has some other excellent benefits, making anyone wanting to do the happy dance. See some of them below.
CBD oil is an antioxidant that contains vitamins and other powerful, anti-inflammatory properties that your skin will love! Not only can CBD oil help to maintain a more youthful complexion, but the antioxidants found in it can also assist in:
- Promoting cellular turnover
- Balancing out your skin tone
- Reducing inflammation and puffiness
- Soothing the skin
- Simulating blood flow to help improve the skin's elasticity
Other Skin Loving Ingredients In Kristen Bell's Happy Dance CBD Face Moisturizer
If the above wasn't enough to win you over, I know this will! Not only is this face cream infused with Full Spectrum CBD, but it also contains avocado oil, hyaluronic acid, and plant squalene to soften skin and improve moisture barrier function, which defends against dry, stressed skin.
- Avocado Oil is a nutrient-dense oil rich in omega 6 & 9 fatty acids. It’s great for softening skin and acts as a hydrating hug, locking in good ingredients.
- It contains four types of hyaluronic acids; WHAT??? Yes, you read correctly. I said four hyaluronic acid types creating a sponge-like matrix that fills the skin with moisture for bouncy, hydrated skin.
- Bisabolol and Ginger Blend, a combination that possesses antioxidant properties and provides skin with a more even tone, combating the appearance of redness.
- All ingredients are vegan and cruelty-free.
- The product packaging components are made from recyclable materials, not to mention the packing peanuts are biodegradable.
- 150 MG OF CBD
- Certificate of Analysis that lets you see exactly what’s in each product (and more importantly, what’s not)
Phew, now that was a mouthful! So what are you waiting for? It's time to get your Happy Dance on with some CBD and Kristen Bell, they both will make you happy!
IMPORTANT: Since this product is targeting moms, you probably have the kiddies around when your attempting to have your 'Me time." Hence, please be aware to keep this product out of reach of children. Hemp or cannabidiol use while pregnant or nursing may be harmful. Consult your doctor before using if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition or take pharmaceutical drugs. Take precaution when using multiple hemp or cannabidiol products at the same time or together.
