skin care & CBD
SHOULD YOU TRY CBD FOR YOUR SKIN?
There are many benefits that cannabis or hemp oil can provide to the skin when applied topically. Cannabis oil contains many beneficial natural components, including cannabinoids like CBD, vitamins, and a variety of nourishing minerals. When hemp oil is applied topically, it is received directly through the skin.
Cannabinoid receptors are located throughout the skin, allowing CBD to be absorbed. When it is applied directly on trouble areas, the hemp oil works right where it’s needed. Additionally, many drugstore skin and body products may contain chemicals or synthetics that may be not well tolerated by some individuals. Our ultra-pure CBD, on the other hand, is an all-natural choice to these harsher additives.
NUTRITION
One of the most underrated factors when it comes to healthy skin is simple nutrition. Like any other part of the body, your skin needs the right vitamins and minerals to maintain optimal health. Hemp oil contains a variety of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids.
Most people have heard of antioxidants. They provide a variety of benefits. Some of the most common antioxidants are Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E.
But did you know that CBD is also an antioxidant?
Healthy skin depends on protecting it from free radicals, UV rays, smoke, and environmental pollutants. These radicals can cause fine lines and wrinkles. Antioxidants protect our bodies from their damage, and battle the effects of aging skin.
ACNE
Acne is cumbersome, and among adults, it is surprisingly common. In addition to its natural causes, acne can also be brought on by stress, hormone changes, changes in medication, and even using certain skincare products.
Acne is caused by the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance meant to protect the skin. These lipids in your skin perform many functions, like creating a barrier on our skin to keep out bacteria and viruses and working to lubricate and waterproof the hair and skin.
Lipid production plays an important role in both acne (over production) and eczema (under production). In acne, oil (along with dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria) clogs pores, causing an inflammation and blemishes on the skin.
The glands in our skin contain endocannabinoid receptors, meaning their functions are affected by cannabinoids such as CBD.
Accordingly, many people use CBD products as a part of their daily skincare routine.
