Cannabidiol can be found in everything from your gummies and coffee, to candles and post-workout recovery drinks. Not surprisingly, CBD is also a powerful ally for your skin and CBD-based products have become popular in the skincare marketplace. Since January is National CBD Month, let’s explore the ways that CBD can benefit your skin, as well as look at some products that can level up your skincare routine.
What is CBD? Cannabidiol is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant and is one of over 100 known cannabinoids, which affect the workings of our endocannabinoid system. The two primary active cannabinoids are CBD and THC. Unlike THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, which produces a euphoric feeling, CBD is non-psychoactive, so it will never make you feel high. CBD also isn’t habit-forming. The wellness benefits of CBD are plentiful, including relieving the effects of stress, depression, anxiety, pain, insomnia and even symptoms of epilepsy.
So how can CBD help your skin?
*CBD has healing properties. A potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, CBD reduces inflammation, swelling, and redness in skin prone to breakouts. CBD can provide relief from skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
*CBD helps clear acne by regulating oil production. Since an excess of sebum can make acne worse, CBD’s anti-inflammatory impact on the skin cells that produce sebum has been a positive one in the fight against breakouts.
*CBD hydrates dry skin that itches and cracks. During the winter months, the natural oils from our skin can be depleted, resulting in red, scaly, and irritated skin. CBD restores the moisture taking away the feeling of tightness and itchiness, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
*CBD lessens the effect of aging on our skin by reversing free radical damage, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, and reducing hyperpigmentation & age spots. CBD impacts our endocannabinoid system, which affects melanocyte or pigmentation production.
