As CBD (cannabidiol) conquers the natural skincare market, consumers have valid questions about its potential benefits and uses. Studies have shown that CBD presents numerous health benefits and medicinal properties, treating chronic pain and clearing acne at the same time.

CBD is a powerful skincare tool, providing an over-the-counter solution to ongoing problems like eczema and psoriasis. It contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging components. Antioxidant properties fight to neutralize free radicals in the body. Anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and irritation. Finally, anti-aging properties smoothen wrinkles and support a youthful appearance.

There are several ways to apply CBD, including vaporizer oils and tinctures below the tongue. The most common method, however, is a topical balm. To create CBD oil, cannabidiol is extracted from cannabis and mixed with a neutral base (usually hemp oil).

Important Nutrients in CBD

Perhaps the most important thing to note about CBD is the sheer number of vitamins it holds. Once you apply CBD to your skin, your body will experience the benefits of these vitamins, including:

Vitamins A and D – Both vitamins are responsible for repairing the skin. Vitamin A in particular, is important for skin cell growth, oil inhibition, and skin cell differentiation. If your skincare regimen and/or diet currently lacks these vitamins, you may be suffering from dry or flaky skin

Vitamins C and E – These vitamins function as antioxidants, protecting your skin against sun, wind, smoke, and other environmental damage. They also protect your tight skin and youthful appearance from free radicals that seek to destroy it. B-Complex Vitamins are responsible primarily for skin reconstruction, these vitamins protect from conditions like dermatitis. Rather than investing in a vitamin supplement, apply topical CBD on a nightly basis. Omega-3 and Omega-6 – These fatty acids work to regenerate the protective layer of your skin, ultimately creating a smoother and more youthful appearance. If you lack access to omega fatty acids, you likely suffer from frequent acne and dry skin.

Skincare Benefits of Using CBD

There are many direct, skin-related benefits of using topical CBD, including:

• Acne Reduction – While frustrating and embarrassing, acne is common – even in adults! Acne has many underlying causes, but is often worsened by stress, medication, poor skincare habits, and hormones.  Anything that encourages the overproduction of sebum is a problem, since sebum is meant to produce protective oil, rather than thick, damaging oil. CBD can successfully regulate the production of sebum through endocannabinoid receptors.
• Eczema Treatment – The exact cause of eczema remains unknown. However, experts believe it stems from an allergic reaction underneath the skin. Because the rash is inflammatory, it can be treated with CBD – which has impressive anti-inflammation properties. While it may not completely eradicate a rash caused by eczema, it can help significantly. Skin Allergy Treatment – In the same way CBD can treat eczema, it can treat other skin allergies caused by proliferation and differentiation. CBD can destroy malignant cells, fighting moles, warts, and dangerous outbreaks along the way.

A Breakdown of Cannabidiol Oil: Facts and Benefits

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural remedy used to treat common ailments. CBD is one of more than a hundred chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. These compounds are found in cannabis – the plant known best for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its main psychoactive cannabinoid.

Because of THC, cannabis is usually associated with getting high. However, CBD is not a psychoactive compound. It can be applied topically by extracting CBD from cannabis and diluting it with a carrier oil, such as coconut or hemp seed.

There is a significant difference between the two major CBD oil products. Hemp-based CBD oil has less THC and other cannabinoids, eliminating the “high” feeling altogether. This variety of CBD oil is legal and used without the potential drawbacks of psychoactive compound use. Marijuana-based CBD oil must be obtained through a medical marijuana dispensary.
