Why Your Skin Needs CBD Oil

(Collaborative Post)

CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, is a natural compound that is extracted from the cannabis plant. Studies have shown that CBD oil derived from the natural plant can benefit and aid the health of your skin and can also be used to help various skin conditions.

In recent years, many people have been purchasing and using various beauty products that contain CBD oil as part of their skincare routine.

Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne are some of the skin conditions that CBD can treat because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

CBD oil is entirely legal in 50 states and used in different forms such as capsules, powder, and oils. In addition, well-known manufacturers of foods and drinks have also started to use CBD in all of their products.

What is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is one of the many cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. Unlike its relative named THC, also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is considered to be the "high" compound most often misused by individuals. CBD does not contain THC, making it a much healthier and natural ingredient that improves your well-being and performance.

CBD oil has proven to have many benefits, and individuals can use the oils in various ways. For example, people spray CBD mist onto their pillows to help them sleep, some use CBD oil in their foods, and others consume CBD protein powder to aid in muscle pain relief and performance enhancements.

Our body contains natural cannabinoid neurotransmitters and receptors known as the endocannabinoid receptor system (ECS). Research has shown that ECS and cannabinoids can play a vital role in many of our body processes, and also, our skin contains natural cannabinoid receptors.

CBD oils are perfectly safe to apply directly to your skin.

A few ways CBD oil can aid certain skin conditions

Assists with Acne

Known as the most common skin condition, CBD contains many valuable compounds such as anti-inflammatory, oil reducing, and antibacterial properties that can help to soothe and improve acne breakouts and scarring on the skin.

Many studies have shown that CBD can prevent sebocytes on our skin from creating too much excess sebum. In addition, due to the antifungal and antibacterial properties found in the cannabis plant, CBD oil can help to prevent skin infections and treat the appearance of scars caused by acne.

Sebocytes are the cells that create oils and sebum on our skin which is primarily a waxy substance. It is true that the sebum created helps to protect our skin against harmful factors; however, excessive sebum and oil buildup can cause acne.

Helps with Wrinkles and Aging

CBD Oil contains many beneficial properties, such as antioxidants. Therefore, CBD Oils assisted many individuals with preventing the appearance of aging and wrinkles on their skin because of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidants found in CBD.

Moisturises the Skin

CBD oils can help prevent itching and dryness of your skin by providing an extra layer of moisturizer that will help to soothe your skin and reduce irritation and flaking. In addition, CBD oils are perfectly safe for people with sensitive skins to use.
