You might have heard about CBD (short for cannabidiol) being used to treat various health and medical issues, like pain and anxiety. As it turns out, CBD might be your ticket to clearer, calmer skin, too. CBD products are taking over the skincare world and proving themselves to be beneficial additives to skin lotions, face creams, and serums. CBD oil can be extracted from the hemp plant – but don’t worry, hemp derived CBD is legal in all fifty states. This ‘highly’ effective ingredient won’t actually get you high, but it’s perfect for people looking to reap the natural benefits without the mind-altering effects of marijuana. CBD has also gained popularity due to its remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Antioxidants work to counter signs of aging skin using its essential fatty acids, which increases your skin’s elasticity and hydration and gives skin the appearance of a youthful glow. Research has shown that it lessens the severity of wrinkles and brightens skin. Acne can also be tackled with the help of CBD. Since acne is an inflammatory condition, the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD are helpful in visibly reducing the appearance of breakouts. It’s especially calming to skin redness, often caused by irritated skin as a result of acne and other skin conditions.
Stock up on CBD skincare products while you can, because we think it’s worth the hype.
