Treat Yourself to a CBD Spa Day at Home

Basic Jane | July 18, 2021

Life—and all of the responsibilities wrapped into it—can really stress us out. Even when it seems like we have everything together, the daily grind can take a big toll. That’s why it’s so important to find time to nourish your body and soul with self-care.

Most of us would love to slip off for a self-care day at a luxurious spa when we’re feeling especially worn out or stressed, but it’s not always in the cards. Between timing and expense, it’s hard to make spa visits a regular occurrence.

But don’t let that stop you. Pamper yourself in your own space with a home spa day featuring cannabidiol (CBD). You can have many of the same decadent treatments you’d find at a spa in the comfort of your own home. Plus, you’ll have the added benefits of CBD, which is known for its ability to:

TAKE A CBD TINCTURE BEFORE YOGA FOR FULL-BODY RELAXATION

Since CBD can help you relax, relieve pain and cut down on inflammation, it can be a great way to prepare for a day of chilling out and working on your body. Before you get started with your day of relaxation, try taking a CBD tincture to ease your body into a more relaxed and comfortable state, and do a little stretching or yoga.

I like starting out wit Juna’s Nude tincture. It’s a low-dose tincture (5–10 mg per dose), so it’s great for those who are new to CBD.

Plus, it tastes great. While it’s just coconut oil and hemp extract, this CBD tincture has a rich herbaceous flavor reminiscent of a high-end, herb-infused olive oil.

Put a dropper full under your tongue, and hold it there for 30 seconds to a minute, swallowing whatever’s left. Then spend 10–15 minutes doing yoga or just stretching. If you’ve never done yoga before or want direction, check out the one of the many free yoga videos online.

Combining yoga and CBD is a great way to begin your spa day and start shifting your focus away from your seemingly endless to-do list and on to your body.

GIVE YOURSELF A MASSAGE WITH A CBD-INFUSED TOPICAL

After yoga, you may find yourself more in tune with the places in your body that need some extra love and attention. Do you have any sore or tense muscles that need massaging? Pull out a CBD-infused topical, and take some time for a self-massage. You’ll not only get the benefits of a good massage, but also the tension-taming, pain-relieving, inflammation-fighting powers of CBD.

The CBD-infused Essential Oil Trio from Basic Jane is a great option, because it not only includes plenty of CBD, but it also comes in three different scents: Awake, Relax and Relieve. You can pick the scent that fits your mood, and gain all of the benefits of aromatherapy while you work on your muscles.

PAMPER YOURSELF WITH A CBD-INFUSED FACIAL & CBD CUCUMBER ROSE WATER

Once your massage is complete, next it’s time for your CBD-infused facial. And what adds more of a spa-like feeling than sipping on a cool glass of CBD-infused cucumber rose water while you have your facial? You’ll want to prepare your cucumber beverage the night before, putting a pitcher of water with fresh cucumber slices in the fridge to chill.

I like Verte’s Esprit De Rose for this part of the home spa experience, because it’s both a CBD and rose-infused facial mist, and also an edible you can add to drinks. Start by pouring yourself a glass of chilled cucumber water and adding a few spritzes of the Esprit De Rose to the mix. Keep your drink nearby to sip on while you rest with your facial on.

Next, start your facial by removing anything already on your face. Verte’s Micellar H2O cleansing pads work great for this purpose. Then use two to four spritzes of the Esprit De Rose on your face, applying in gentle, upward and circular motions to evenly distribute it.Finally, take two slices of the chilled cucumber from your pitcher of water and place them over your eyes. Take 10–15 minutes to rest with the cucumbers and facial. There’s no need to wipe your face after applying the CBD. Just let it soak into your skin, leaving it supple, soft and plump for the rest of the day.

END YOUR SPA DAY WITH A SOAK IN A CBD-INFUSED BATH

Finish off your spa day with a relaxing soak in a CBD-infused bath. First, fill your bathtub with warm to hot water, and then add some CBD oil. You can use Verte’s Elevate Vital Oil. Just add a few droppers to your bath, and let yourself soak in the CBD goodness. Your skin and muscles will thank you.

You can also use CBD soap with your bath while you soak. Made from a high-quality, hemp CBD extract and coconut oil, Wildflower’s CBD Soap is a gentle yet powerful cleanser that can improve your skin’s health sans dryness. It comes in two relaxing scents: vanilla and lavender. So, soak, relax and leave your bath feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oral CBD Products

What makes Basic Jane oral products different from other CBD edibles?

Basic Jane oral products are developed out of one of the first state-licensed cannabis research programs in the U.S. Every formula is designed by scientists with a focus on real-world use, consistent dosing, and meaningful results. All oral products are THC-free — so you get the benefits of cannabinoids without any psychoactive effects or concerns about drug testing.

Do Basic Jane oral products contain THC?

No. All Basic Jane oral products are 100% THC-free and are legally sold under the 2018 Farm Bill. They will not get you high and are designed for clear-headed, everyday wellness.

Which oral product is best for general pain and inflammation relief?

It depends on what you need! CBD Mints are a great everyday starting point — low-dose, gentle, and appropriate for any time of day. For stronger inflammation relief, Boost Mints contain both CBD and CBDA (the raw form of CBD), which provides an added boost for more significant discomfort. Both work systemically, meaning they support your whole body — not just one area.

What is the difference between CBD Mints and Boost Mints?

CBD Mints contain 5 mg of CBD per mint — a perfect microdose for consistent, all-day support. Boost Mints contain both CBD and CBDA for extra inflammation relief. Think of CBD Mints as your everyday companion and Boost Mints as your go-to when you need more firepower — particularly after a tough workout, a flare-up, or a harder day.

What are Refresh Chews best for?

Refresh Chews contain CBD, CBG, and terpenes, making them ideal for people who want to power through their day with more clarity and ease. They are designed to help reduce anxiety, support focus and energy, and keep you feeling your best without any jittery side effects. Perfect for busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.

What are Passion Chews and who are they designed for?

Passion Chews are designed specifically for women — particularly post-menopausal women — to help them feel present, connected, and in the moment when they want to. They are thoughtfully formulated with women's hormonal health in mind and designed to support intimacy and overall well-being.

What are Night Caps and are they CBD?

Night Caps are actually cannabinoid-free. Instead, they contain a blend of hops (Humulus lupulus) and valerian (Valeriana officinalis) — two botanicals with a long history of traditional use as natural sleep aids. They are non-habit-forming and designed to help you wind down, fall asleep, and wake up refreshed. A wonderful option for anyone who prefers to keep their sleep routine free of cannabinoids.

Which oral product is best for sleep?

Night Caps are Basic Jane's dedicated sleep product and are the first recommendation for anyone struggling to get a good night's rest. Their blend of hops and valerian is non-habit-forming and designed specifically for sleep support. If you are also managing pain that interferes with sleep, pairing Night Caps with a CBD Mint or Boost Mint may provide broader comfort going into bedtime.

Which oral product is best for daytime use?

CBD Mints are perfect for any time of day — subtle, low-dose, and easy to take on the go. Refresh Chews are a standout daytime choice if you want an added edge: the CBD/CBG and terpene blend is designed to keep anxiety at bay and help you feel energized and focused. Both are discreet, minty, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Which oral product is best for workout recovery?

Boost Mints are a great post-workout choice. The combination of CBD and CBDA works systemically throughout the body to support inflammation relief and recovery. Take one to two mints after exercise and give them 30–90 minutes to build. For faster, localized muscle relief right after a workout, consider pairing with a Relieve Cream or Relieve Gel topically as well.

Can I use oral and topical products together?

Yes — and many customers do. Topicals like the Relieve Cream, Relieve Gel, and Pain Sprays target localized areas like sore knees, shoulders, or back, while oral products like CBD Mints and Boost Mints provide systemic, whole-body support. Using both together is one of the most effective approaches for people managing chronic or widespread discomfort.

How Oral CBD Works

How is oral CBD different from topical CBD?

Topical CBD products work locally — you apply them directly to the area of discomfort and they interact with receptors in the skin and underlying tissue. Oral products are absorbed through digestion and work systemically, supporting your whole body rather than one specific area. This makes oral products especially valuable for conditions that are more widespread, internal, or mood- and sleep-related.

How long does it take for oral CBD products to work?

Oral products typically take 30–90 minutes to take effect, depending on your metabolism and whether you have eaten recently. Plan accordingly — they are not a rapid-response product in the way topicals are, but their effects last significantly longer.

How long do the effects of oral CBD last?

Effects from oral CBD products typically last 6–8 hours, making them a great choice for consistent, long-lasting support throughout the day or night.

What is CBDA and why is it in Boost Mints?

CBDA is the raw, unheated form of CBD found in the hemp plant. Research suggests it may have potent anti-inflammatory properties, and when combined with CBD, the two cannabinoids may work synergistically for enhanced effect. That is why Boost Mints contain both — to deliver extra support beyond what CBD alone can provide.

What is CBG and why is it in Refresh Chews?

CBG (cannabigerol) is sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid" because it is the precursor to other cannabinoids. It is being studied for its potential to support mood, energy, and focus. In Refresh Chews, CBG is combined with CBD and terpenes to create a formula specifically designed to help you feel clear-headed, calm, and energized.

Activity and Timing

When is the best time to take CBD Mints?

CBD Mints are designed for any time of day. Many customers take one in the morning as part of their wellness routine, another mid-afternoon, or after activity for recovery. Because each mint is a low 5 mg dose, you can adjust timing and quantity to fit your lifestyle. Start with one and see how your body responds.

When is the best time to take Boost Mints?

Boost Mints are best taken when you need more targeted inflammation support — after exercise, during a flare-up, or when you know a more demanding day is ahead. Because they contain both CBD and CBDA, they are more potent than standard CBD Mints and are ideal when everyday support is not quite enough.

When should I take Night Caps?

Take Night Caps about 30–60 minutes before bed to give the hops and valerian time to take effect. They are designed to help you relax, fall asleep naturally, and stay asleep through the night.
