The Amazing Benefits of CBD Skin Care

CBD is everywhere and in everything you can possibly think of. CBD oil can be used for a variety of things and can be found in many products we use.  It is ever present in the world of beauty and skin care. Today I want to talk about CBD skin for your skin and its benefits. If you’re considering hopping on the CBD bandwagon but unsure about where to start, let me help.

First, let’s get a better understanding about what CBD is, how it is produced, and included in creams and serums we use daily. 

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is the non-intoxicating component of marijuana or hemp plants. It is extracted as a powder, and mixed with oils such as coconut and olive oil which helps create that soft smoothness. The oils do not contain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is what makes you ‘’high’’ if you smoke marijauna.

Many people confuse hemp seed oil with CBD oil, because it is also a common ingredient in skincare products, however, it is but not an active ingredient and does not have an essential  amount of anti-inflammatory benefits.

Look out for words such as  CBD, hemp CBD, phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil, and hemp extract oil, when buying beauty and skincare products. It’s all about being healthy, staying healthy and doing good things for your body. 

The Benefits of CBD for Your Body

• Acne: CBD helps to reduce redness, pain, and swelling with acne.
• Helps Reduce Breakouts: Reduces breakouts and inflammation.
• Eczema: Combats skin flare ups and irritation caused by eczema. 
• Hydration: Moisturizes the skin m which in turn decreases dehydration and dry skin.
• Oil Production: Helps regulate oil production.

CBD skin care products are to be used just as you would use any other cream or serum. 

How To Integrate CBD Into Your Skin Care Routine

It is important to be international about what products you choose to put on your skin. Our skin is the largest organ in our body. What you put on your skin affects your health. Let’s look at how CBD for skincare benefits our ailments.

CBD for Acne-Prone Skin

CBD oil has anti-inflammatory benefits, which makes it a great  ingredient for acne-prone skin. The calming benefits of the oil will help calm the skin and reduce swelling. Leaving your skin looking and feeling better.

CBD Oil for Sensitive Skin

I have very sensitive skin, and the properties of CBD oil are great for soothing skin. This decreases the way your skin reacts to the environment, its sensitivity as well as breakouts and redness. It is similar to other oils used in skin care which makes it great for all skin types too. Include CBD in your daily rituals.

Choosing The Right CBD Product

Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil –  Similar to Hemp Seed Oil, but does not tell you the concentration of CBD.

Hemp Seed Oil – Beneficial to the skin, low amount of CBD.

CBD Oil – Best for your skin as it comes in its pure form. Best choice of getting all the benefits of using it. 

Look for CBD skin care in the right packaging. No containers that exposes the plant ingredient to a lot of light or air, which causes it to become less effective.  Make sure you trust the brand and have confidence that the product is safe and that it contains exactly what the label claims it contains

Remember: You only need 0,5 – 1% of CBD Oil to get the benefits in a formula
