Holistic estheticians are constantly looking for creative ways to use nature to assist clients to achieve their health, wellness, and beauty goals. As a result of the rise in popularity surrounding cannabidiol, or CBD, many experts have decided to to add the hemp plant into the mix. The result is CBD spa treatments that exceed your expectations and leave you feeling revitalized. Here’s what you need to know.

“I use EMT CBD in my holistic facial treatments as well as recommending it to my clients for home care. In treatment, I find that the EMT Face Serum is especially good in conjunction with Gua Sha as it has simple, ultra-soothing ingredients. I also use the EMT CBD Body Oils during shoulder & chest massages on my clients that are holding a lot of tension. The CBD component helps the muscle tissue relax & delivers an almost euphoric massage experience.

In home care, the EMT Face Serum is excellent, particularly for acneic clients. As acne is an inflammatory condition, CBD is the perfect solution to soothe. This year almost all of my clients have struggled with “maskne” & I’ve recommended the EMT Balms for that. The Balms are a fantastic way to create a physical barrier between your skin & your mask while providing healing. Every client that has tried this has been overjoyed at the results of daily balm use with their mask!”

Types of CBD Skincare Practices and Products

Holistic estheticians tend to use the products topically to complete their clients’ requested treatments.

Balms

CBD-infused balms moisturize the skin and offer benefits through transdermal absorption in the same way that other topicals do.CBD body oil, on the other hand, works well alongside a jade face roller when doing a holistic facial. The sky is the limit in how estheticians can use these products in their treatments. View product.

Face Serum

Why use a face serum? The mixture of beneficial fatty acids and CBD help the serum penetrate the body’s skin complexion quickly, effectively, and gently. It’s best used on the face, up to three times per day. View product.

Body Oil

CBD-infused body oil has been known to work well for individuals suffering from skin conditions like eczema, acne, psoriasis or even dry skin. The anti-inflammatory properties in CBD can help soothe skin and provide relief from pain. View product.

Benefits of CBD in Cosmetics and Beauty Treatments

When used during holistic skincare and beauty treatments, CBD offers many excellent benefits. The high antioxidant concentration helps eliminate free radicals to reduce inflammation and smooth out the skin.

The natural compounds are also known to decrease the production of sebum, which helps clear out the pores and reduce acne flare ups. When applied regularly, the topical CBD can even soothe rashes and leave the skin feeling completely soothed.

Furthermore, when sourced from trusted companies, CBD beauty products have a low risk of reactions. Many people even find that they can wear CBD make up all day without a problem.

Ready for a CBD Beauty Treatment? How to Spot High-Quality Products

When people do end up having a reaction to CBD cosmetics and other products, it’s usually due to the other ingredients in the formula.

So, it’s important to only use CBD beauty products made using natural, organic ingredients that won’t clog pores and will enhance your skins radiance, like:

  • Organic Hemp Seed Oil
  • Organic Argon Oil
  • Organic Jojoba Oil

As for the CBD, it should be a full spectrum hemp extract containing all of its natural cannabinoids. Furthermore, the supplier should back up all their claims with third-party test results. These lab results should be easy to find on their website and easy to read.

To best serve their clients, holistic estheticians always check that they’re using the highest quality CBD skincare and beauty products in their treatments. If you’re not sure what products your esthetician is using, just ask.

Once you’re satisfied with their product selections, you can schedule your CBD spa treatments with confidence you’re getting the best that money can buy. Then, all that’s left to do is sit back and enjoy the experience.
