Wake and Bake — Try These Weed-Infused Spa Treatments For 4/20
:upscale()/2019/04/15/689/n/1922153/989b29025cb4a41ca56839.67789308_.jpg)
With April 20 around the corner, it's time to get your plans in order. Instead of partaking in 4/20's established tradition, this year test out other forms of cannabis consumption. Today's beauty shelves are stocked with products that contain cannabidiol (CBD) oil, the non-psychoactive ingredient derived from hemp that helps manage anxiety. And now that 10 states and Washington DC have legalized recreational use of cannabis, it's clear that the stigma surrounding marijuana is starting to shift.
There's never been a better time to add a little weed to your wellness routine. Day spas all over the country are joining the ganja revolution and taking advantage of the plant's therapeutic benefits by using CBD oils in everything from facials to topical THC cremes during massages. Even though THC-infused lotions don't penetrate the skin and won't get you high, these treatments are only available in Colorado. Spas in states like California, Vermont, and New York are also taking things to a new level of relaxation by offering services with CBD oil.
Ahead, check out eight spa treatments you can try out this holidaze season.
