Pot to pores at Jamaica Inn 

Jamaica Inn is the latest hotel to jump on the CBD train as it adds the CannaGlow CBD and hemp body scrub to the Ocean Spa’s treatment list. CBD is a dormant part of the cannabis flower and hailed an antidote for common ailments: from chronic pain to acne. The treatment is said to gently exfoliate both face and body, reducing the size of pores, cellulite and blemishes whilst soothing both muscles and mind.
