Are you tired of trying every skincare product under the sun and still not achieving that radiant, glowing complexion you desire? It may be time to unlock the secret to beautiful skin with the power of CBD.

CBD, short for cannabidiol, has been making waves in the beauty industry as a game-changing ingredient in skincare. When typically applied, it offers a range of soothing and nourishing benefits for the skin. Contrary to some perceptions, CBD is a completely natural compound that will not get you high. In fact, CBD is practically hard-wired to react with the body's natural endocannabinoid system - which is responsible for regulating the central nervous and immune systems. What is the endocannabinoid system we hear you ask? We’ll come back to that in a moment.

In this article, we will explore some of the top benefits of adding CBD to your skincare routine, from reducing inflammation to fighting acne and promoting a more youthful appearance. So, whether you're a skincare enthusiast or just looking to revamp your routine, read on to discover how CBD can help you achieve that coveted glow from within.

Understanding the Endocannabinoid System

Before we dive into the benefits of CBD for the skin, it's important to understand what the the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is, and how it works. The ECS is a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that helps regulate various bodily functions, including the immune system, central nervous system, and skin. The ECS plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health by regulating factors such as oil production, inflammation, and cellular turnover.

CBD works by interacting with the ECS to help regulate these functions and promote balance within the body. When applied topically, CBD can penetrate the skin and interact with the ECS receptors in the skin cells, helping to regulate oil production, reduce soreness and redness, and promote healthy cell turnover. This makes CBD an ideal ingredient for skincare products aimed at improving the overall health and appearance of the skin, especially when mixed with other botanicals.

Top 3 Benefits of Adding CBD to Your Skincare Routine

1. Promotes Youthful Appearance

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. Studies have shown that CBD contains antioxidant properties, which can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors - which in turn, leads to cell damage. By reducing free radical activity in the body, CBD helps to slow down collagen breakdown within skin tissue and cells.

2. Hydrates  and Nourishes

CBD is a natural moisturiser that can help keep the skin hydrated and nourished. CBD contains essential fatty acids and vitamins that can help improve skin texture and promote a healthy, radiant complexion. CBD can also help to reduce the appearance of redness and flakiness. 

3. Calms and Soothes

CBD has been shown to have calming and soothing properties, making it an effective ingredient for soothing itchy or aggravated skin. When combined with other healing botanicals, such as aloe vera which is a core ingredient in our face mask, it can help to calm your skin, leaving glowing and feeling super hydrated.

How to Choose the Right CBD Skincare Products for You

If you're interested in adding CBD to your skincare routine, it's important to choose the right products. Look for products that are specifically formulated for your skin type and contain high-quality, full-spectrum CBD oil. Full-spectrum CBD oil contains all of the beneficial compounds found in the hemp plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, which work together to enhance the overall effectiveness of the product.

It's also important to do your research and choose products from reputable brands that use third-party testing to ensure the quality and potency of their products. Look for products that are free from harmful chemicals and additives, and that have a high concentration of CBD for maximum effectiveness.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions

While CBD is generally considered safe for topical use, it's important to be aware of potential side effects and precautions. Some people may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions when using CBD-infused products, so it's important to do a patch test before using a new product.

It's also important to avoid using CBD-infused products on broken or irritated skin, as this can increase the risk of infection or further irritation. If you're pregnant or nursing, it's best to avoid using CBD-infused products until more research is available on any possible side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions about CBD Skincare

Q: How do I take CBD?

It’s important to choose the right product for your needs. Consider factors such as dosage, method of consumption, and the specific benefits you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for something that might help to soothe your aching muscles, a topical CBD cream may be the best option. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more general sense of relaxation and well-being, a CBD tincture may be more appropriate. 

Q: Will CBD get me high?

A: Nope! CBD contains no THC, which is the compound found in cannabis which gives you the feeling of being 'high'. CBD stands for cannabidiol, and although it is derived from the cannabis plant, it will not get you high.
