What Can CBD Do for Your Skin?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a complex compound that comes from the hemp plant and can be used in a wide number of ways to help people manage their moods, lower their stress levels, or reduce anxiety. 

However, CBD is also being found to help with a number of skin issues, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles, moisturizing dry skin, and dissipating feelings of inflammation. 

What’s the best type of CBD skin lotion?

When you begin to shop around for different kinds of CBD topical creams, you’ll want to look for a cream that only uses natural ingredients and doesn’t contain synthetics. This will help your skin get the best benefits from CBD! 


The Benefits Of CBD With Other Natural Ingredients

Many skin care products are made with CBD isolate. CBD isolate doesn’t contain any of the other natural cannabinoids that you’d find in full- or broad-spectrum oils because all of these elements have been extracted, along with any impurities that might accompany them. 

Since the other cannabinoids have been extracted, high-quality CBD creams feature other premium grade ingredients that have multiple health benefits. 

Some of these other ingredients can include: 

Each of these ingredients, when combined with CBD, can make an extremely beneficial skin care cream that helps to reduce wrinkles and inflammation. 


How to find the perfect CBD cream

A good rule of thumb to follow when you’re on the hunt for a CBD topical cream is to look for one without fragrance or any artificial synthetics. These synestics tend to not have the same benefits that a cream with natural ingredients has.If a fragrance has been added that isn’t natural to the substances that are in the cream, it could cause you to break out (especially if you’re a person who has sensitive skin!) Stick to natural ingredients when you’re using CBD and let nature do the work.

The other thing you’ll want to keep in mind as you’re looking for your cream is the main purpose you need it to serve. While a high-quality product could help with all three of the issues below at the same time, you’ll be better off picking a lotion that fits best with your needs. 

3 Ways CBD treats your skin

When we place CBD on our skin it interacts with our endocannabinoid system (ECS). This network is responsible for regulating and controlling our stress levels, mood, and inflammation. Sometimes our body doesn’t produce enough of the enzymes to help manage everything though.

This is where CBD can come into play. 

CBD products introduce phytocannabinoids into our ECS when CBD products are consumed. When we consume CBD, the natural elements make up for the lack of enzymes in our system. As a result, our system can neutralize or block the proper neurons so we won’t feel as anxious or “out of control.” 

On the flip side, when you place CBD products on your skin, it can directly help to treat the affected skin areas to prevent or reduce some of the skin issues outlined below. 

The ECS doesn’t only control your mood though; it can also have an effect on your skin and it’s appearance. By mixing CBD into your beauty routine, you’re beginning to incorporate a powerful product with a wide range of benefits. 

Since each of our bodies has an endocannabinoid system, CBD will interact with that network when you place the topical cream on your skin. It’s believed that when this happens a “synergistic harmony” takes place after continued use of the CBD lotion, which leads to your system creating more oils again.

1. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles

Researchers have found that CBD has the ability to improve the production of collagen when CBD is mixed into a person’s regular routine. Collagen is responsible for making our skin and muscles firmer (and maintaining that firmness).

Due to this, when people use a premium topical CBD cream, it improves the appearance of scars, wrinkles, or skin discoloration. 

Apply the CBD cream to your wrinkles at night, and then allow for it to slowly soak in while you sleep. Gently wash it off in the morning. In a couple of weeks, you should begin to notice that your wrinkles are diminishing and your skin is looking brighter. 

2. Acts as a moisturizer 

CBD topical cream can also help treat dry skin. You know you have dry skin when your skin starts to feel itchy and irritated and looks like it's “cracking.” 

Cold weather, dry environments, and even the habit of washing your hands too often, can cause dry skin. Each one of these factors cause our skin’s elasticity to loosen. As a result, the moisture levels in our skin can drop. 

However, regular lotions are similar to putting a bandaid on the problem because your dry skin will continue to persist as soon as you stop using the cream.

CBD lotion differs from other moisturizers because CBD has a positive effect on your sebaceous glands - the glands that control the amount of oil and moisture your skin receives. In a 2014 study, scientists found that CBD helped to regulate the glands and fewer participants suffered from extremely dry skin. 

3. Lessens levels of inflammation 

CBD creams can also help to reduce the levels of inflammation in your body. Unfortunately, inflammation can cause pain or discomfort that begins to affect our daily lives, and some studies have shown that CBD topical creams can help lessen joint and muscle pains. 


Unlike when you take an oral CBD oil or softgel, you can apply the CBD directly to the pain point when you’re using a topical lotion. Due to this, some CBD anti-inflammatory salves help people find faster relief and when managing their pain levels. 


CBD Can Help Your Skin

If you’re looking for a new solution for your wrinkles, dry skin, or inflammation, consider applying a CBD topical cream! It might just happen to be the “fountain of youth” you’ve been looking for.
