Starting a CBD routine can be as simple as taking a dropper of CBD oil each day. As long as you keep your dose consistent, you’ve found yourself a new ritual. But, when you have a wellness goal in mind – whether that’s brighter days or calmer nights – how, when and what kind of CBD you take will have a big impact on the results you see and feel.
For example, if you’re taking CBD to enhance your evening wind-down, you want a soothing blend that fits seamlessly into your nightly routine. Or, if you take CBD to fuel your fitness regimen, you might need muscle support before and after your workout. If you’re not sure how exactly to work CBD into your lifestyle, here are five routines to get you started…
Your CBD routine for brighter days
When the days feel grey and you need a burst of brightness, our Bright Days collection is there for you. It teams delicious flavours with high-strength CBD that’s quick and easy to enjoy. So, follow this routine to chase the clouds away…
In the morning: Bright Days CBD Oil Drops
It’s the CBD oil so good that Claudia Winkleman came to us to rave about it. Our Bright Days CBD Oil Drops are infused with our high-quality CBD in the freshest, cleanest and juiciest flavours. Try the Orange CBD oil to kick-start your day with our highest strength of CBD at 3,000mg. The dosage is down to you; we recommend starting low and going slow, so test each amount for one week, then dial up or down to suit your wellness goals. You can squeeze the oil directly underneath your tongue or add it to your morning smoothie, giving you a burst of sunshine (even when the weather says otherwise).
In the afternoon: Bright Days CBD Gummies
If there’s one CBD essential everyone needs in their bag, it’s the Bright Days CBD Gummies. “This is going to sound excessive, but I've got a pack of gummies in my car and by the kitchen sink, so it's not a whole drama to find them,” says Claudia. As for us, we keep them on our desks to power us through the stresses of the afternoon slump. If you’ve already taken your CBD oil in the morning, you can chew just one gummy for an orange-flavoured boost.
Your CBD routine for calmer nights
The best night’s sleep starts with a wind-down routine, so make yours count with calming self-care. We’ve got just the essentials you need to feel more relaxed, helping you drift off without a care…
Through the evening: Power Down Calming CBD Candle
Because we all deserve ‘me time’ in the evening, use yours to relax with a book or a podcast while the Power Down CBD Candle bathes your room in a warm glow and the most luxurious scent. Velvety notes of Santal, Amber and Musk intertwine for a scent blend that’s scientifically formulated to make you feel calmer. Let the indulgent aroma fill your home and soothe your senses.
One hour before bed: Night-Time CBD Oil Drops or Good Night CBD Gummies
At least one hour before bed, your wind-down time begins. Because blue light from smartphones and TVs can disrupt your circadian rhythm (AKA your body clock), this is your moment to switch off all screens and dim the lights. Then, take CBD. If you prefer a CBD oil, enjoy a dropper of the Night-Time CBD Oil Drops in Soothing Peppermint or Forest Fruits – your choice. They combine an infusion of CBD and hemp seed oil to set you up for a restful evening. Or, if you like a gummy, chew one of the Good Night CBD Gummies. With a blend of CBD and herbal extracts of valerian and terpenes, they ease you into a good night (hence the name).
Your CBD routine for energy
If you feel like you’re flagging by lunchtime and you never seem to have enough energy, it’s time to add a stimulating supplement to your daily routine. Try this two-step system to rev up your mood…
In the morning: Bright Days CBD Capsules
Our Bright Days CBD Capsules are powered up with added vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, which helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue. Take two capsules each morning to fuel your day, no matter your plans. For even more energy, you can also chew the vitamin C-boosted Sea Moss Gummies.
Throughout the day: Power Up CBD Candle
Whether you’re working from home, getting ready to go out or doing some housework and life admin, the Power Up CBD Candle is a must-burn for an inspiring space. Its energising scent blend of lime, patchouli and cardamom is scientifically formulated to stimulate your senses, so you’ll feel brighter and more awake – and your home will smell incredible too.
Your CBD routine for aches and pains
Whether you’re dealing with post-workout tension or feeling the effects of ‘tech neck’, we’ve got CBD for pain relief that eases those sore, achy muscles. Try these super soothers…
To start your day: Bright Days CBD Capsules
Alongside CBD, the Bright Days CBD Capsules are brimming with vitamin D3 and zinc; two healthy heroes that contribute to muscle and bone health. Take two to start your day, and you’ll also get immunity support from vitamin C, as well as an energy boost. They’re basically that ‘spring in your step’ in supplement form.
Throughout the day: Muscle Rescue CBD Muscle Balm
When tension strikes, reach for a scoopful of Muscle Rescue CBD Muscle Balm and massage it directly into areas of tension. With CBD and eucalyptus, it feels instantly soothing on sore joints. Whether you do it before bed, after working out or sitting at your desk, it’s the quickest pick-me-up.
Don’t forget to check out our tips on how to give yourself a massage. Perfecting your technique is key to loosening up uncomfortable aches and pains.
In the bath: Bath Melt CBD Bath Bomb
At the end of a long day, when achy muscles are at their worst, a bath is just what you need. The warm water helps to relax your body, easing sore limbs and joints. Double those benefits by dropping the Bath Melt CBD Bath Bomb into the tub, a milky miracle worker with Epsom salts to loosen up your muscles. It also cocoons your skin in moisturising coconut milk, while the relaxing scent blend of santal, amber and musk soothes your mind as well as your body.
Your CBD routine for softer skin
Did you know? CBD isn’t just a supplement – you can reap its rewards for your skin as well. These must-haves keep skin moisturised in winter and balanced through summer, so lips, hands and body always feel soft and supple…
For dry, chapped lips: Lip Rescue CBD Lip Balm
We co-created our CBD bath and body collection with Claudia Winkleman, and while she doesn’t play favourites, she does have a lot to say about Lip Rescue CBD Lip Balm. As a self-confessed lip balm addict, she says, “I’ve written articles about lip balm, like 5,000 words long about lip balm. Lip Rescue is the best one you will ever use.” High praise, indeed.
For hard-working hands: Hand Rescue CBD Hand Cream
If the skin on your hands is feeling tight and dry, Hand Rescue CBD Hand Cream is your saviour. With jojoba, poppy and hemp seed oils, it nourishes and hydrates while feeling wonderfully weightless. Claudia agrees. “It’s so moisturising but never, ever sticky,” she says. “We worked really hard on this, and I know you will love it.”
