Working in the cannabis industry for half a decade has allowed me to sample and try some of the best products in the world. When it comes to skincare and beauty wellness, I have been amazed at how my skin has positively responded to THC and CBD-infused products. From haggard bags under my eyes to a dull complexion, cannabis-infused skincare has had clear results that yielded greatly improved skin health. As a model, I have to take intentional measures to keep my skin looking healthy, youthful, and glowing. I try to approach this from the inside out, making sure I eat really healthily, exercise, sleep, and drink lots of water. I’d say that’s half the battle if you will. The other half comes from protective skin measures like wearing SPF, putting clean products on my skin, and ironically, wearing as little makeup as possible when I’m not on set. One of the treasures of working in the cannabis industry is being an early adopter of incredible products that are game changers. Cannabis skincare, I can vouch, is one of them.
To better understand the dynamics around how and why cannabis-infused skincare products make such a difference, I asked one of my favorites, California-based brand, Kiskanu.
Kiskanu is family owned and operated in Eureka, California. Kiskanu Dispensary showcases indoor cultivation with a carbon-free footprint that you can view while you shop. We also offer Kiskanu botanical tinctures, topical beauty, and sexual wellness products made on-site. Our store features sun-grown cannabis flowers from our farm in Humboldt County, indoor flowers are grown on-site, and other newly curated brands. As farmers first, we are committed to bringing the highest quality local products and cannabis flowers to you via www.kiskanudispensary.com.
Kiskanu also offers a Hemp CBD line of organic beauty & wellness products for delivery online at www.kiskanu.com.
What is Your Founder’s Story?
Kiskanu’s founders, Gretchen and Jason Miller, each have over 20 years of experience in the cannabis industry–both beginning as farmers. After taking a series of herbal education classes in 2015, Gretchen began incorporating cannabis into her topical herbal products, and from there, the Kiskanu brand was created. When legalization was introduced in California, Kiskanu was among the first licensed brands. Kiskanu now operates retail, cultivation, manufacturing & distribution in California as well as their online Hemp CBD line.

What Should People Know About Incorporating Cannabis Skincare Into Their Beauty & Wellness Routine?
With both THC and CBD, I would recommend always starting small and waiting a few hours to see how you feel. You can always add more, but can’t take it away.
The skin is full of receptors and offers a natural, easy way to receive and absorb cannabinoids. THC is a vasodilator so it brings blood to the applied area, is known to relieve acute pain, and often promotes relaxation when used topically.
CBD is known to have anti-aging, antioxidant, hydrating, and cell rejuvenating properties as well as being anti-inflammatory. CBD and other cannabinoids have also been shown to improve circulation. Muscle spasms, muscle discomfort, and nerve discomfort may be eased with CBD or THC applied to the direct areas. Many clients find they feel more relaxed and less anxious after using CBD (both topically and internally). The skin and other organs can greatly benet from these properties short-term and when used over time.
