Dr Lipp CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint

 Say hello to the latest hero product from Dr Lipp.

First came the CBD Calm Balm (which I absolutely love and highly rate) and now they've launched a new tinted version.

CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint has been created to offer superiour nourishment paired with a pop of gorgeous, natural colour.

100% natural, this luxurious, multi-purpose balm has been infused with 50MG of broad-spectrum CBD Oil to offer superior hydration and nourishment while easing inflammation.

There are so many things that make this balm special but most notable is the fact that they can boast a decadent formula comprising of just 7 natural ingredient.

The star of the show is Lanolin & Lanolin Oil.

Made from Australian free roaming sheep's wool, lanolin is almost identical to our skins natural oils.

The wool is rinsed to separate the wool from the pure, raw Lanolin before it is then cleansed again and and again to the highest medical grade standards, making sure the smallest particles from environmental pollutants are also extracted.

Next is the oh-so-trendy CBD element.

Cannabidiol is the oil extracted from the leaves and stems of the Cannabis plant with THC levels below 0.03% as directed by the EU and USA Cosmetic Regulations. 

The CBD oil used within the balm is 100% natural, organically grown and GMO free. 

It's potent, ultra-rich, conditioning formula helps to ease inflammation, calm and soothe all skin types while it's anti-inflammatory and healing benefits can be used to help relieve dryness all over your body, from hands and body to your face and of course, your lips.

The balm contains a natural preservative made from organically grown and GMO free Elderberries.

This element ensures that your balm

Is protected from bacteria.

Due to the tint within the balm, this balm possesses another natural preservative called Distarch Phosphate which is made from organically grown and GMO free Corn Starch.

The purpose of this element is to help the pigments stay evenly suspended within the balm for beautiful, natural looking, even coverage. 

Onto the colour of the balm itself. As you may have guessed, it comes from organically grown and GMO free Beetroots. 

This plant pigment is rich in natural antioxidants which are great for your skin. 

Beetroot is basically a superfood for your skin, so you'll not only be receiving a beautiful deep red tint, but you'll be protecting and pampering your lips while looking gorgeous. 

Finally, the balm contains two types of Vitamin C- Citric Acid which is made from both fruit and plants and Asorbic Acid which is made from only Citrus fruits. 

Powerful antioxidants, they work together to help nourish, renew and calm dry, chapped skin.

They also slow the deterioration of the natural plant pigment suspended within the formula and help to balance the PH value of the balm overall. 

And that's all you'll find inside this beautiful pink tube of joy.

I've genuinely yet to find another lip balm that even comes close to comparing to the nourishing, long lasting effects of Dr Lipp.

The balm is deliciously rich and sleek, offering intense moisturisation with a high shine finish.

Comforting without feeling sticky or heavy, it conditions your lips for hour upon hour, and as a long-term fan of the product, I can notice the difference between the CBD infused balms and the original.

They feel ever-so-slightly lighter and silky without compromising on their richness. 

The gorgeous pigment in this CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint adds an extra special dimension, allowing you to create a natural "no make up" look by breathing life back into and creating the appearance of healthy, rosy looking lips.

I absolutely love this latest addition to Dr Lipps range of balms and I'm convinced you will too.

Dr Lipp's CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint is available now and costs £10.99. 

The Body Shop New CBD Collection

 Your skin puts up with a lot. From pollution to hormones, changes in weather to environmental aggressors.

For me, stress is one of the biggest issues I experience with my skin.

When I’m feeling stressed, my skin is often the first thing to react. I’ll break out, experience sensitivity and generally end up with a dull, grey complexion.

 

 Lucky for me then that The Body Shop have just launched a new collection aimed at targeting stressed skin and it features the new buzz ingredient of the year, CBD.

 Enriched with natural-origin CBD, vegan squalane and hemp seed oil this new skincare trio have been created to smooth, soften and restore your skins moisture levels.

Hemp seed oil (also known as cannabis sativa oil) is a big deal these days, however The Body Shop have actually been harvesting this hero hydrator since 1992. 

 

 

Hemp itself is grown for fibres, seeds and flowers that are used for everything from clothing and food to medicine and moisturisers.

In skincare terms, it is famous for its essential fatty acids content, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids plus vitamins A and E, which your skin just loves.

It makes sense then that if you suffer from dry, dehydrated and stressed skin, that this key ingredient could really help restore your glow.

 

Begin your journey to healthier, nourished skin with their new CBD Soothing Oil-Balm Cleansing Mask (£17).

This gentle and soothing oil-balm cleansing mask helps to deeply purify your skin without leaving it feeling stripped and dry.

Featuring a luxurious, rich gel-to-milk transforming texture and a delicate, refreshing green scent, it effortlessly cleanses your skin while imparting much needed nourishment.

 

 

Enriched with natural origin CBD, hemp seed oil, plant-derived squalane , olive oil and white clay it is suitable for all skin types (though is primarily aimed at those with a dry complexion), contains 99% ingredients of natural origin and is vegan.

I adore melting/transformative cleansers as they feel so decadent and this cleansing mask is no different.

Apply the gel-balm to dry skin and massage in circular motions before applying warm water and watch as it emulsifies, transforming into a delicate milky cleanser.

 

 

Skin is left feeling soft, supple and instantly refreshed.

Continue your skincare journey to brighter, healthier skin with their new CBD Restoring Facial Oil (£25).

The addition of a facial oil is something I would always recommend for dry/ distressed skin in any event and this oil is perfect.

 

 

Its lightweight, non-greasy texture and refreshing, soft scent leaves skin feeling instantly softer and pampered.

Used on freshly cleansed skin prior to your moisturiser, it locks in moisture, relieving the discomfort of dehydrated skin resulting in a brighter, healthier complexion.

 

 

Containing squalane and patchouli extract it is deeply nourishing oil which while is lightweight, may be a tad too heavy for oilier complexions.

Complete your Body Shop CBD experience with their CBD Replenishing Moisture Cream (£20).

 

 

Rich, creamy and silky smooth this fast absorbing cream gets to work straight away to soothe dry, troubled skin.

 

 

Wonderfully light yet deeply decadent, skin is left feeling soft and looking more luminous pretty much instantly.

Again, like the oil this is suitable for all skin types but I would suggest that oily/combination types use it sparingly. A little goes a long way.

 

 

The Body Shop CBD Collection is available online and in store now.

Rodial CBD Sleep Drops

CBD is a hot topic at the moment.

Healthcare professionals and beauty brands alike are launching CBD products left right and center, including luxury brand Rodial in the form of their new CBD Sleep Drops (£85) but what exactly is CBD and how can it benefit me?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years.

A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

Rodial has captured all of the potent anti-inflammatory properties of CBD and encorporated it into their newest launch, an addition to their bestselling Booster Drops Collection.

CBD Sleep Drops are a targeted treatment containing CBD which soothe and calm your skin, working to reduce redness and improve the overall wellbeing and health of your skin.

Our skin has a high concentration of CBD receptors which helpfully, allow our skin to respond to the presence of CBD in our skincare but the human body also produces CBD naturally, which supports our general wellbeing by regulating our mood, sleep and stress.

These powerful anti-inflammatory qualities combined with its ability to relax and replenish makes it a truly hero skincare product.

Formulated alongside a host of skin loving ingredients, these drops are designed specifically for use prior to sleep and works while you rest, leaving skin feeling revitalised, fresh and healthy upon waking and your mind feeling quiet, calm and relaxed.

Pale green in colour and lightweight in texture, the drops are a wondefull oil/serum hybrid.

Light and silky like a serum but rich and nourishing like an oil, massage 2-3 drops into cleaned skin before applying your moisture.

The drops possess quite a noticeable, botanical scent, perfect for soothing your mind while the active ingredients do the same for your skin!

Alongside CBD, they also contain Squalane to help deliver moisture to your skins surface while rebalancing oily patches, Purslane to reduce inflamed, irritated, blemish prone skin, chamomile to reduce skin redness and calm and vegan collagen to support your skins natural collagen production.

Upon application skin instantly feels nourished and soft, so much so in fact that I found myself questioning whether I actually needed my moisturiser (I do have fairly oily skin though).

That said, despite the feeling of hydration and comfort it didn’t feel heavy on my skin or leave it feeling clogged or weighed down.

I particularly enjoyed the relaxing aroma it released which definitely helped me to drift off into a peaceful slumber, while safe in the knowledge that my skin was being thoroughly pampered while I slept.

Upon waking my skin felt lovely a soft and more even in texture and appearance.

It didn’t aggravate my skin or cause breakouts like many treatment serums can and if anything, left my skin feeling comforted and rejuvenated.

All in all, these fabulous little drops get a big thumbs up from me. I’m impressed by the list of ingredients and feel that they work particularly well on my sometimes problematic, combination-oily skin type.

Rodial’s new CBD Sleep Drops are available now and cost £85.
