Tired of the big promises on fancy beauty creams, but never sure what’s actually in the jar? Want something that’s proper nourishing, a bit more fun, and actually does what it says? Off Your Face Creams is for anyone who’s sick of the nonsense and just wants honest, DIY cannabis skincare.
Why Cannabis Creams?
Let’s not kid ourselves – cannabis isn’t magic, but it’s incredibly useful in skincare. It’s packed with antioxidants, calming cannabinoids, and terpenes that help soothe, hydrate, and support your skin’s natural balance. Used right, it gives your creams that extra edge – nothing wild, just real benefits. I show you how to get the best out of it, safely and legally (always check your local laws, obviously).
How Did We Get Here?
It all started in a German kitchen with a bit of leftover homegrown cannabis and a proper experiment gone right. One batch of body cream, a big grin in the mirror, and the phrase, “I don’t know how well this works, but I feel gorgeous!” – and that was it. Off Your Face Cream was born.
Since then, I’ve formulated for spas, salons, and even a bit of Hollywood royalty. More important, I’ve spent years teaching people just like you how to make lush, safe skincare at home, – without the faff, dodgy ingredients, or silly prices.
I wrote this book because nobody else had. I wanted a proper book on cannabis skincare, grounded in reality, not hype. I’m a naturopath and aromatherapist with decades of experience, and I use cannabis myself for pain. When COVID hit, I finally had time to put everything I know into one place. No copy-paste nonsense, just real-world know-how from making products for spas, clients, and myself.
This isn’t just another “herbal beauty” book. It’s practical, sometimes cheeky, and always honest, whether you’re a total beginner or have been making creams for years.
What’s Good About It?
- Packed with real information – no secrets, no gatekeeping.
- Oils, butters, actives, preservatives, and more, explained simply.
- Full section on prepping cannabis: decarbing, infusing, working out the dosage.
- Loads of spa-quality recipes: massage candle, joint gel, body lotion, hand cream, and yes, even cannabis suppositories.
- Honest, warm, and a bit daft in places – just like me in real life.
- Every formula tested and made by someone who’s actually done it, not just read about it.
What’s Not So Great?
- It’s not a glossy, “Instagrammable” book – it’s about getting results, not showing off.
- Some techniques might be new if you’re just starting out, but I guide you through them.
- You’ll need to buy a couple of specialist ingredients – not things you’ll find at the corner shop, but nothing that’ll break the bank.

FAQ
What is a cannabis face cream?
It’s a face cream made with cannabis-infused oils or extracts. It’s designed to hydrate, soothe, and support healthy skin. Depending on your method, it can contain CBD, THC, or both.
Can I make these without cannabis?
Absolutely! Every recipe includes tips for leaving out cannabis if you want the benefits of natural skincare, but not the herb.
Will cannabis creams get me high?
It depends on whether you decarb for CBD or THC. I use emulsifers and actives that penetrate the skin over a number of hours so the active ingredients can be better absorbed.
Is it legal to make cannabis skincare at home?
It depends where you live. Always check your local laws before making or using cannabis-infused products.
Can I use shop-bought CBD oil in these recipes?
Yes, you can. The book covers how to make your own infusions too, but ready-made CBD oil works if that’s what you have
Do I need any special equipment?
Just basic kitchen gear for most recipes – think digital scales, a whisk, and a saucepan. A few recipes need a stick blender, and you can splash out on a POT by NOIDS machine if you want to (but it’s not essential.
How long do homemade creams last?
With proper hygiene and a good preservative, your creams should last up to a year. Always label and date your jars.
Are these recipes suitable for all skin types?
Yes. The book explains how to tweak each formula for dry, oily, or sensitive skin.
