It’s rich in protective phytonutrients and antioxidants, and it is said to deliver powerful antibacterial properties. Prominent lifestyle bloggers are raving about it, and A-list celebs can’t get enough.
It’s little wonder CBD skin care has emerged as the breakout beauty trend of 2019.
So why should you be excited about adding CBD-infused beauty products to your skin care routine?
We’re glad you asked…
What is CBD Skin Care?
Hemp has been a present and popular ingredient in beauty products for quite some time, but the presence of hemp doesn’t always mean the potentially powerful cannabinoid CBD is in there too.
If you see hemp oil on the list of ingredients, which is oil derived from the stalk, stems and flowers of the hemp plant, you can be confident that the product is infused with CBD. If you see hemp seed oil, which is oil derived from the seeds of the hemp plant, it won’t contain any CBD.
Now, that’s not to say that there aren’t any skin care benefits to using hemp seed oil. It’s rich in Omega-3, 6 and 9, all of which are essential oils for healthy skin. But we’re interested in the topical application of CBD and the benefits it may deliver via the body’s largest organ, the skin.
CBD interacts with your body’s cannabinoid system, providing soothing properties to the skin. It’s high in antioxidants, which may help keep your skin looking youthful, and it’s rich in phytonutrients, cannabinoids and terpenes, which may nourish and help protect your skin.
The 5 main benefits of using CBD on your skin
1. CBD soothes and repairs
If you suffer from an inflammatory skin condition, it maybe be a great option to potentially help soothe skin discomfort. This is because CBD is an anti-inflammatory, which helps to reduce redness and calm sensitivities. It’s also anti-bacterial, which may help to repair skin by keeping it free from harmful bacteria.
You should, however, be careful not to apply CBD skin care products to unknown rashes or open wounds. Make sure you have a doctor check you over before trying a new skin care regimen.
2. It moisturizes dry skin
Whether your skin is naturally dry, or you find that it dries out when it’s cold outside or when you’re in an air-conditioned room, it’s vital that you replenish the moisture in your skin. CBD oil for skin may have long-lasting and moisturizing effects. It could help keep it hydrated and leave you with a healthy glow.
3. CBD helps brings balance to oily skin
Your skin naturally secretes an oily substance called sebum. In appropriate amounts, sebum helps to protect your skin. But if your body produces too much, it can lead to breakouts, acne or a shiny complexion. Applied topically, CBD may help to balance oily skin by increasing your body’s cannabinoid levels, which, in turn, could potentially reduce the amount of sebum produced (1).
4. It’s suitable for all skin types
Normal. Sensitive. Dry. Combination. CBD oil for skin doesn’t discriminate! Containing a synergistic blend of phytonutrients, cannabinoids, and terpenes, hemp oil may help balance, restore, and protect your skin.
CBD keeps skin looking youthful
The best CBD products may also help rejuvenate your skin (2). Wrinkles may appear smoother, because of CBD’s rumored antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants help to minimize the damage caused by free radicals, the natural byproducts of chemical processes. Free radicals can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat — and are particularly prominent in alcohol, tobacco smoke, fried foods, and air pollutants. CBD may help to slow visible signs of aging by protecting and restoring your skin.
Who’s using (and loving) CBD beauty products?
When it comes to CBD beauty products, there’s a veritable who’s who of champions.
For starters, everyone’s favorite Friend (no, not Chandler), Jennifer Aniston, swears by CBD oil (3).
Star of “The O.C” and “Vinyl,” Olivia Wilde, is a huge fan of CBD lotion (4).
And “What Not to Wear” scene-stealer, Stacy London, took to Instagram (5) to give props to CBD’s skin care benefits.
They’re joined by the likes of Kristen Bell (6), Mandy Moore (7), and Dakota Johnson (8) as vocal admirers of CBD. So, if you’re ready to join the A-list of skin care routines, then, boy, do we have a treat in store for you!
