CBD: The Anti-Inflammatory Skincare Ingredient You Need
Cannabidiol, often known as CBD, is one of the hot new skincare ingredients that seems to be popping up everywhere. One of the key non-psychoactive qualities of Cannabis, it has numerous beneficial qualities, making it the new kid on the block.
Derived from the cannabis flower, CBD is non-hallucogenic (so won’t get you high), which makes it a safe, non-addictive substance that has powerful anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Recently legalised in the UK, CBD is everywhere and it’s something I’ve been fascinated about with skincare! Extracted from low THC marijuana seeds, it’s the new thing your skin needs.
CBD skincare is readily available from CBD stores, such as Blessed CBD who offer CBD oils, gummies, and creams, the latter of which can help to provide targeted relief for areas of pain and inflammation. A combination of topical and ingested solutions can be ideal for troubled or inflamed skin.
Known for soothing or anxiety reducing properties, CBD in skincare is an essential for red or puffy skin as it calms the nervous system, typically reducing inflammation and ensuring skin is as calm and soothed as possible. CBD for Skincare is one of the newest trending ingredients, and is an essential for troubled skin.
CBD can also be used as pain relief and often features as part of massage based products. Topical application to sore muscles or painful parts can be soothed and relieved as it’s absorbed through the skin! I’ve also tried a CBD oral supplement which helped soothe and reduce headaches. But what are cbd gummies? CBD gummies are a fab way to accessibly incorporate CBD into your day and an easy way. And they’re so much easier to consume than CBD oil.
Cannabis is a strong anti-oxidant, which means it has incredible rejuvenating and skin saving properties which is why it’s a key ingredient in serums. Give your skincare routine a boost with a cannabis infused skin serum. Rejuvenate and refresh tired skin with a product like this! If you live in a city or urban area, anti-oxidants are an essential to reduce the impact of pollution upon skin. A key ingredient in anti-ageing products, anti-oxidants are an essential regardless of your age or where you live! Ideal for red and inflamed complexions, CBD can help to reduce redness or any painful skin conditions such as eczema - but is also ideal for helping to calm any breakouts. As someone with sensitive skin, I find it perfect for applying following the use of intensive chemical exfoliants or masks which can often leave the skin pink and fragile. There are so many misconceptions about CBD, but it has so many positive benefits particularly in skincare! But whilst topical CBD is an instant fix, it's been said that overall internal body inflammation can have an impact upon how the skin feels - so why not try an oral CBD supplement to help calm the gut and reduce inflammation of which can manifest itself in the skin. As a huge fan of dairy which is a known inflammatory, I use CBD supplements to help reduce those pesky dairy breakouts and ensure that my gut is functioning as normal. There are so many CBD companies out there such as Royal CBD which offer high quality CBD. As CBD is non-hallucinogenic, it's a safe and legal option to help calm the body from the inside out - something which can have an impact upon how the skin appears.
CBD is also said to reduce oil production (although data is limited) - so if you suffer from oily skin, CBD oil may be a solution to try!
Have you tried CBD at all? If you have, what did you think? Which option sounds the most appealing to you? Would you consider an oral supplement or stick purely to topical skincare?
