The First Scottish Spa to Offer CIBTAC Accredited CBD Treatments:

Spa at Blythswood, located in one of Glasgow’s best-established hotels, will now be offering pioneering CIBTAC accredited CBD Massage and Facial treatments. 

The Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (CIBTAC) have been producing beauty, complementary & spa therapy graduates of the highest calibre since 1977. They also offer world wide recognised qualifications, including beauty therapy, spa, complementary and teaching. 

The spa at Blythswood is joining the CBD skincare revolution by holding the world’s first CIBTAC cosmetology course. The therapists at the Blythswood spa will participate in comprehensive training prior to carrying out any CBD treatments.   

CBD is actually the medical abbreviation for cannabidiol, one of the primary active compounds found in cannabis plants. CBD has become increasingly popular in recent years, owing to research proving it improves the body’s endocannabinoid system. 

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is found throughout the entire human body, including your brain and nervous system. It’s comprised of a network of cannabinoid receptors and is responsible for regulating a number of vital bodily functions, such as sleep, appetite, pain response, stress relief, coordination, and mood to maintain your natural balance. There is virtually no function in the human body that does not benefit from a healthy Endocannabinoid System.

When used specifically in a skincare routine, CBD products offer a three-pronged skin care approach. They are anti-ageing, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. Anti-oxidising means that they help to protect and prevent against DNA damage. 

Based on all the advantages of CBD, it’s no wonder that it is becoming increasingly popular in the beauty industry. For more information on the CBD treatments available at the Spa at Blythswood, please visit
