When I was first introduced to Kush Queen, I thought they were just going to be my new favorite bath bomb company! Only because I had NO idea I was hitting the CBD topicals motherload at Kush Queen! 

As a former college athlete, I’m very familiar with topical products to aid sore muscles and aches after game day! So when I had the opportunity to share the light, effective Melt CBD Lotion with my family, I didn’t hesitate! Today, I’m going to walk you through the various ways my family uses Melt CBD Lotion to get everyday relief from aches and pains.

VINCENT - Retired USMC Veteran

Sharing Melt with my father was a true bonding experience, especially when he got jealous that I found Kush Queen first, lol! As a sufferer of a neck injury from his time in the Marine Corps, along with osteoarthritis in both knees and hands, my father has added Melt to his daily shower routine and confidently boasts about being a “Kush Queen!”

HOW DAD USES MELT: every morning after taking a shower my father applies Melt to both of his knees, shoulders & wrists. When working with a nurse aid a few times a week, he also receives a neck, shoulder, and foot massage where his aid will kindly apply Melt as the final step after helping my father stretch and massage his muscles!

STEPHANIE - Art Studio Director & Entrepreneur

My partner, Stephanie, had no choice but to become a part of the Kush Queen family when we started dating! Working as an artist and art teacher, she has added Melt not only to her wellness routine, but also her business routine to relieve tension she experiences when painting with students, and on her works of art. 

HOW STEPH USES MELT: after class during the weekdays, my partner will massage Melt into the palm of her hand and wrist to soothe tension and stress from using various art tools. Using a tennis ball or softball on a table, she will then apply pressure to different parts of the palm of her hand that we can’t massage deeply with our hands alone.

LYNN - Registered Nurse & USN Veteran

Growing up, I always bonded with my aunt over our love of sports and social personalities! On top of being an athlete, she also served in the Navy and uses CBD products today on old injuries and recovered surgery locations. Melt supports my aunt by day when spending long hours on her feet as a registered nurse to geriatric Veterans on the frontline. 

HOW MY AUNT USES MELT: after showering in the morning, my aunt uses Melt as a preventative pain relief treatment on her neck, shoulder, and ankles to give her a boost. At the end of her long days, she likes to apply Melt to her feet, ankles, and calves to melt away tension built up from standing while caring for patients! She always remarks on how Melt really does melt away her daily tension.

VERITA - KQ Customer Service & Entrepreneur

In 2017, I started to use Melt as a non-negotiable post-recovery tool while I started to dive into powerlifting because it helped me fight pain & inflammation after working out. This allowed my recovery time to shorten and made consecutive workouts more bearable in the early weeks because I didn’t lose range of motion from stiff muscles. 

HOW I USE MELT: I religiously shower with Soaked Transdermal Shower Gel every morning and follow up with Melt as a spot treatment on my neck, lower back, and right ankle which I had surgery on from a softball injury when I was younger. Throughout my day, I reach for Melt as needed to subside any soreness, tension, or inflammation I experience while sitting at my desk. Goodbye neck and lower back soreness from working on a computer all day!

CONCLUSION

In the beginning, did I think a CBD lotion would make such an impact on the people in my life? No way! I’m always impressed by the versatility and effectiveness this lotion has from older generations to younger active people! I have also found this product has been easiest for me to introduce CBD newcomers to a daily wellness product.

Welcoming the newest addition to the Kush Queen fam, we present KINGDM Cosmetics Foto Set! Foto Set is an innovative setting spray that will not only keep you looking fresh all day but can actually improve your skin as you wear it. 

1. Foto Set CBD Setting Spray Helps Ward Off Maskne

Each bottle is packed with 250mg of CBD which can help reduce redness and prevent breakouts. Foto Set uses Kush Queen’s exclusive patent-pending Amplifi™ nanotechnology. This tech creates CBD molecules as small as 25 nano molecules in size, which is 2,000 times smaller than pores, allowing the product to fully absorb. Foto Sets unique formula paired with nanotechnology allows the CBD to work deep into the skin instead of just sitting on the surface.

2. Our Formula Is Safe For All Skin Types

Paired best with KINGDM’s Foto Blur, Foto Set should be applied after makeup or your daily skincare routine if you are bare-faced. Mist 2-3 sprays 12 inches or so from your face to get full coverage from the spray. The formula is light, non-sticky, and fragrance free made with sensitive skin types in mind. You’ll instantly feel refreshed after spraying and we even encourage a midday mist for a refresh and extra boost of CBD, especially when it’s hot out or after a flight.

3. Foto Set Is Versatile and Works For All Lewks

When wearing Foto Set over makeup, it will help prevent caking, creasing, and melting for up to 12 hours. The formula is not meant to completely matte your makeup, but rather keep you glowing in all the right places while controlling shine. Whether you’re going full glam or prefer a more natural lewk, it is the perfect final step in your routine. If you love a multi-use product, you can also use Foto Set mixed with eyeshadow to create a long lasting eyeliner. Simply spray a makeup brush with Foto Set, saturate with your choice of shadow, and apply. Voila!

Conclusion

At Kush Queen, we are always striving to bring you high quality products you can’t live without and that work for everyone. That’s why Foto Set is vegan-friendly, paraben, fragrance, and phthalate free, made in the USA, and not tested on animals. 

We hope you love the newest addition to our product fam as much as we do and stay tuned for the THC version at select dispensaries coming soon.

I am most definitely a coffee person, but I do love me a good cup of tea. I take mine with milk and honey served up in my favorite Alice in Wonderland mug. It is an experience for me and has become part of my self-care routine. Drinking tea has so many benefits for our health and wellbeing, and every type of tea offers a little something special for you and your body to enjoy. You can sip for energy, sip for stress relief, sip for a good night’s sleep and even for your skin and organ health. That is a lot of benefits! So when I heard that Kush Queen launched a tea-inspired CBD Bath Bombs Collection, my heart fluttered. I can bathe in my tea too? Yes, Please! 

Bathe in the benefits of CBD and Matcha with Kush Queens CBD Bath Bombs

But wait? Do I want to bathe in tea? Does it have any benefits as a topical or is it just for fun? These were some of the questions swimming through my mind, so I, of course, decided to do a little research. What did I learn? Bathing in your tea… highly recommended. Many of the properties in tea leaves also have amazing benefits for your skin and wellness. When paired with the already beneficial ingredients that make up Kush Queen CBD bath bombs – Like High-Quality CBD, Epsom Salt, Baking soda, and essential oils – the benefits are only increased!

So what are these benefits I speak of? I will get to that, but first I want to chat about Dry Brushing. If you have not heard of Dry Brushing, it is definitely something worth looking into. It is the simple act of using a natural fiber brush, preferably with a long handle, to massage the skin without moisture. Starting at your feet you will gently rub your skin clockwise in a circular motion, slowly working your way upward. Not only is this process relaxing, but it is a great way to prepare your body to receive maximum benefits from your bath time. It exfoliates the skin, increases blood flow, stimulates the lymph nodes, detoxes the body, and can even reduce the appearance of cellulite. Your skin will feel fresh and new before you submerge yourself into that tub sized cup of tea. Such a great way to take your self-care to the next level. 

Now back to those beautiful Kush Queen Tea Collection Bath Bomb Benefits!

MATCHA CBD BATH BOMB

Matcha Tea actually contains chlorophyll which is a wonderful detoxifier and has been known to remove harmful toxins from the body as well as fight free radicals. Matcha may also assist in decreasing your body’s sebum production. This can help to treat and prevent body acne and may even add a layer of protection from harmful UV rays.

EARL GREY CBD BATH BOMB

Earl Grey Tea contains Vitamins B1, B2, E and H, all known for their abilities to keep your skin feeling soft and smooth. You will also find Antioxidants in this tea which will keep your skin healthy and hydrated while fighting those pesky free radicals.

CHAI TEA CBD BATH BOMB

Chai Tea is my favorite tea, and not just because I’m basic! The cinnamon and Clove in your Chai tea (and Bath Bombs) can help to improve blood circulation which will reduce swelling and puffiness and give you a nice glowy complexion. This tea is also ultra-hydrating and may assist in reducing the signs of aging skin!

PRO TIPS: 

  • Pour yourself a cup of tea to enjoy while you soak. Your skin will receive all those amazing benefits from the inside out. (And you can feel really fancy while you do it). 
  • A Spice Girls playlist may also enhance these benefits by filling you up with joy and empowerment vibes. 
  • For those of you who prefer not to soak in the tub surrounded by loose tea, which I personally LOVE, that does not mean you can’t enjoy these Classy AF Bath Bombs! Grab yourself a large organza drawstring bag, place the bath bomb inside it, and add to your tub. You will get all the Bath Bomb goodness, but the bag will hold onto the tea leaves for you. Like a Tea Bag for your tub.

I hope that you found some helpful self-love inspiration here, and are excited to start your own tea inspired skin-care routine. However you choose to incorporate tea, your body will thank you for all those tasty benefits!

The Kingdm Foto Blur 250 mg CBD Primer uses Kush Queen’s exclusive patent-pending Amplifi™ nanotechnology, a process that creates CBD molecules as small as 25nm in size, which is 2,000 times smaller than pores, allowing the product to fully absorb so that the high levels of CBD can work deep into the skin. The unique formulation gives the primer a silky, serum-like texture that is super spreadable and lightweight, blurring pores and creating a smooth, perfected canvas for makeup application. Our formula doesn’t dry during wear, so your skin stays moisturized throughout the day. Use it before your makeup, but after skincare. KINGDM helps reduce redness, prevents breakouts, and leaves your skin velvety soft. We hope you’ll try it, we know you’ll love it! This is only the beginning!
