Skincare can be an investment — especially when the ingredients include CBD! This simple recipe is a great DIY alternative that not only works for softening and hydrating the face, but also facial hair. 

When it comes to beauty, jojoba oil is a good source of: 

• Vitamin B: improves the ability of the skin to retain moisture, helping reduce dryness, redness, and fine lines and can nourish and strengthen hair

• Vitamin E: a powerful antioxidant with anti-aging properties

CBD is reportedly useful for: 

• Anti-aging: CBD is a powerful antioxidant, which protects the skin from free radicals such as smoke, UV rays, and other pollutants that can cause wrinkles and dryness

• Acne: CBD is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, meaning that it can help reduce inflammation and cleanse the skin to help prevent future acne

• Stimulating Hair Growth: fatty acids found in CBD improve scalp tissue and circulation, allowing for hair follicles to expand

Frankincense is great for:

• Toning: frankincense can reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks

• Healing: Frankincense has anti-bacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties to help keep your skin clean (and reduce acne!)

• Pinene: a terpene known for reducing inflammation in the brain and improving cognitive function

And rosemary is good for:  

• Antiseptic: prevents the growth of microorganisms to promote healthy skin and hair

• Moisturizing: balances oil secretions of the skin and scalp to improve conditions like dandruff

Opportunities for Cannabinoid Infusion

How to make Rosemary Infused Jojoba Oil in the LEVO Oil Infusion Machine

If you don't have a LEVO, you can infuse your jojoba oil the old fashioned way or add 2 drops of rosemary essential oil in place of the rosemary infused jojoba oil.

By infusing dried rosemary into jojoba oil, we are retaining more of the nutrients from the whole plant than when rosemary is distilled into an essential oil, providing superior nutritional, therapeutic, and medicinal benefits.
