Remember the good old days when we used to slather generic store brand/super perfumed lotions onto our bodies with no remorse and had no idea what CBD was? Because, same. But the older I get, the more I pay attention to what’s in my beauty products and how they affect my body.

Long gone are the days when I used products (and by days I mean basically my entire life up until a few years ago, whoops) with no concern for what the ingredients were. Also long gone are the days before I started using CBD and adaptogenic products.

I love how CBD helps manage my everyday stresses, relieve pain, and just improve my overall wellbeing. So when I found a brand that is plant-powered with non-GMO hemp oil, sulfate-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and cruelty-free, I was stoked. Plus, it’s so convenient to have access to high-quality CBD products through Weed Delivery Toronto, making it even easier to prioritize my wellness routine.

I’d like to introduce you to my new best friend when it comes to CBD Skincare products: BOTA. Their products are enhanced with U.S. grown hemp oil to help you feel hydrated, nourished, calm, and renewed!

I’ve incorporated these products into my daily routine to help hydrate my naturally dry skin and calm my mind, and here’s how you can too! Oh, and keep on reading for a special code to try their products for yourself!

1. Smooth it on after your morning shower

Think about it; while you sleep, you go without hydrating for 8+ hours. This leaves your skin dehydrated too! After my morning shower, I like to slather the BOTA Calming & Nourishing All-Day Body Lotion all over to help re-hydrate my skin (p.s., super hot water is also dehydrating). This lotion absorbs quickly and leaves my skin soft and smooth all day!

My legs and elbows are always extra dry, so I like to use the BOTA Ultra Rich Satin Body Creme on those areas that need a little more love. It contains shea butter which is rich in fatty acids and vitamins, helping to condition and sooth thirsty skin! This skincare routine has been a game changers for the appearance of my skin too, keeping it supple and healthy! I also love my CBG Tincture in the morning because it gives me energy.

2. Keep it on your nightstand

I can’t remember a time when my hands didn’t suffer from dry patches on my knuckles. Between washing them often and living where we use air-conditioning year-round, my hands know the struggle. I keep the BOTA Calming & Age Defying Hand Lotion on my nightstand to use every night while I sleep. The non-greasy formula hydrates with the help of apricot kernal oil and has significantly helped to smooth and improve my dry hands!

I also suffer from some serious neck and shoulder tightness (oh the joys of a desk job!) so I’ve been giving myself a little self-love shoulder massage every evening with the BOTA Warming Muscle Melt Creme. The cinnamon oil not only smells amazing but is a natural warming mechanism, and the high concentrate of CBD helps my tense muscles unwind. Plus, exploring the convenience of Weed Delivery Toronto has made it easier to access such therapeutic products, enhancing my overall well-being.

3. Build it into your morning routine

Whenever people question CBD, it’s usually because they haven’t taken it often enough to feel the effects. It’s important to use CBD products daily in order to reap the maximum benefits (just like vitamins!) I keep my assortment of vitamins right on the bathroom sink next to my toothbrush so that I make sure to take them every day, and my BOTA Calming & Nourishing Spearmint CBD Tincture is right there with them.

This tincture contains coconut MCT oil (one of my favorite supplements) for an extra boost of brain-fog fighting energy, so it’s great for this non-morning person over here. I just put a dropper full under my tongue, so it’s super easy! Side note – I’ve tried a lot of different types of CBD tinctures, and trust me, this brand absolutely wins in the taste and effectiveness category. You can also explore Green Gold CBD as another option.

I’ve been using these products for about two weeks now, and I truly do love them. BOTA also has a variety of other skincare and tincture products (the eye cream is next on my list to try!) and their Complete Guide to Natural Skincare is super helpful in picking the right product for you.
