Just in case you were wondering, this isn’t some hipster or beauty product trying to capitalise on the hype of smoking pot. KANA, a Korean beauty brand has launched its version of a Korean sleeping mask infused with the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis. If the mask actually works, this pretty much signals a new age of skincare.
If you ask us, Korean skincare lately has become way more revolutionised compared to American skincare thanks to the millions of dollars that the Korean government has been pumping into research and development. In simpler English for us beauty and makeup fanatics, it just means that there’s always newer and better products for us to play around with! This isn’t the first time that cannabis has been used for its medicinal properties. Sure, it gets you high if you smoke it in the form of weed, but research has shown that cannabis has anti-ageing properties, with many beauty pharmaceutical companies infusing it into their skincare products.
Don’t worry, this is 100% legal
Back to KANA and their weed-infused mask. We all know how strict weed laws are (especially in our little red dot), but you can be reassured that the Lavender CBD Sleeping Mask is made with cannabidiol, the second most abundant cannabinoid in weed which also happens to be the legal extract from hemp. Besides CBD (aka cannabidiol derived from industrial hemp), the mask also contains 28 other botanical ingredients like hyaluronic acid and lavender oil. All ingredients are natural ingredients, which means that your face will thank you for this mask, which helps brighten your skin and achieve that natural glow that Koreans are famous for.
According to Broadly who managed to get their hands on a bottle of this mask, it works wonders. It took a while for the sleeping mask to work, and you need to have the dedication to use it everyday too, but the writer who tried it claims that it’s totally worth the effort. Even without makeup, her skin was glowing, and her dark under eye circles were reduced – her skin was super chilled out. We think that the soothing scents of lavender also helps you to relax more so that the sleeping mask can work its magic!
It looks like you’re not going to get high, but you can get a super glowy and dewy complexion which is honestly a much better deal in our opinion. KANA ships all over the world, including Singapore, so if you’ve been on the lookout for a natural face mask for glowing skin, you might want to just give this a try.
If you really think about it, cannabis isn’t really as extreme or outrageous. We’ve heard of stars using placenta and even skin-burning products in their beauty routine. Weed? Pfft, it’s nothing!
