Leighton Meester uses CBD balm for stress relief — here's how you can use it for self-care too
If you’re like the editors at Yahoo Lifestyle, your social media feeds have been taken over by all things CBD (short for cannabidiol).
Derived from the cannabis plant, this compound is being formulated into serums, salves and all sorts of CBD stress and pain-relieving products because it’s highly effective without actually getting you high, according to experts. And “Gossip Girl” actress Leighton Meester is the latest celebrity to co-sign the CBD trend.
In Shape magazine’s April issue, the 32-year-old shares the many ways she likes to de-compress living and working in drama-filled Hollywood. While Meester enjoys starting her mornings with tea and outfitting her trailer with an essential oil diffuser and foam roller massages, she reaches for a popular CBD beauty product for special TLC.
She explained: “I use CBD [cannabidiol] balm to try to reduce the stress and tension in my shoulders and hands.”
We feel lighter just reading how Meester practices self-care, and are inspired to keep CBD balm handy for a midday mini massage. Below are five CBD balms and lotions to help you unwind and unleash your stress.
