CBD Skincare Tips: The ability of your skin to discard depleted cells, balance oil production, and retain necessary moisture is crucial to its general health and beauty. Although it is tempting to become engrossed in overly elaborate skincare procedures, these habits might cause more problems than they cure. However, it is not your fault.

Many of today’s “innovative” skincare products contain substances that are known to weaken barrier function, cause blemish-causing irritation, or interfere with your skin’s natural capacity to regenerate and repair. Adding more steps to your routine to compensate for their possible negative impacts, on the other hand, is frequently unproductive. Consider caring for your skin with a simple plant-powered routine that includes the balance-promoting capabilities of hemp-derived CBD.

What Exactly Is CBD? What Does It Have the Potential to Do for My Skin?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid, which is an active plant compound with considerable health and wellness potential. While there are two probable sources, most CBD-infused skincare products are manufactured using cannabinoid-rich oil extracted from naturally cultivated hemp stalks, stems, and flowers. Although CBD is not a cure or treatment for any known skin condition, current research shows an astonishing number of  possible skin benefits,

Among the purported benefits include the capacity to imitate the effects of natural skin lipids, reinforce skin proteins with amino acids, and protect sensitive complexions from free-radical damage. The most common cause of premature skin ageing is free radical damage.

When applied topically, CBD interacts with endocannabinoid system (ECS) receptors, which are found on practically every type of skin cell. Because ECS receptors govern a variety of processes involved in skin cell creation, oil production, collagen synthesis, moisture retention, and barrier function, the impact of that interaction is dependent on which processes may be returned to balance (homeostasis) through ECS support. 1 With so many potential skin advantages, it’s clear to see why so many cosmetic companies are incorporating CBD-infused creams, lotions, and serums into their product lines.

Which CBD Skincare Products Should I Buy? Does Brand Matter? 

If you’ve been looking into the many methods to incorporate CBD into your beauty routine, you’ve probably come across a slew of exciting products. It’s crucial to realise, however, that many cosmetic brands incorporating CBD into creams, lotions, facial oils, and serums have little to no expertise or CBD use. If you buy products from a firm that uses low-quality, untested plant extracts, you may wind up with more problems than you bargained for. That’s why it’s critical to make a good decision and stick with CBD skincare products from a qualified, reliable source, a name you can trust.

How Can I Begin a CBD Skincare Routine? Could you please explain each step?

Although some people love intensive skincare procedures, your skin does not need to be scrubbed, polished, plumped, or chemically blasted. All your skin actually needs is nutrition from a generally good diet, appropriate hydration intake, and twice-daily care to maintain the surface clean, balanced, moisturised, and protected. If what you’ve learned thus far has piqued your interest, consider how your skin might react to the simplicity of the following plant-powered CBD skincare routine.

Step 1 – Begin by using a Gentle Cleanser.

If you’re happy with the effects of your existing cleanser, there’s no need to change it. Pay heed, though, if your skin feels tight after cleansing or seems flaky or dried after drying. Your cleanser may be diminishing the lipid barrier on your skin. Rather than using a harsh cleanser that leaves your skin feeling “squeaky clean,” invest in a plant-based soap or cleansing cream that lifts debris and oil from the surface without stripping. After cleansing your skin with cool to lukewarm water, pat it dry with a soft cloth. Irritation is increased when you rub your skin dry. 2

Step 2: Restore balance with a CBD-infused toner.

Many people neglect the second and most important step in their skincare process. Those who skimp on toning frequently misunderstand the aim. Unlike traditional astringents, which scrape oil from the skin’s surface, toning helps restore your skin’s delicate pH balance, which helps restore barrier function while removing any residual residue from your cleanser. BOTA Balancing Micellar Toner contains 100 mg of pure, strong CBD, as well as hyaluronic acid, avocado oil, honeysuckle extract, and other botanicals are chosen to soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and clear blocked pores.

Step 3 – Maintain a twice-weekly exfoliation schedule.

Removing cells that have passed their prime aids in keeping your pores clear and your complexion flake-free. However, you do not need to exfoliate on a daily basis or use different products for the same goal. Using gritty, grainy scrubs, battery-powered brushes, or chemical exfoliants more than once or twice a week can dehydrate your skin and leave it rough, parched, and uncomfortable. As the underlying layers of your skin are revealed prematurely, your skin may appear too glossy or waxy.3 Instead, use a clay mask or wash your face with a soft cloth once or twice a week to help remove dead surface cells, increase skin cell turnover rates, and stimulate circulation.

Step 4 – Maintain a Vibrant Complexion with Twice-Daily Moisturizing

Moisturizers help keep your skin smooth, soft and hydrated by reducing or eliminating surface evaporation. Applying a lightweight moisturiser enriched with CBD’s many potential skin benefits could be exactly what your skin requires for next-level hydration. By day, consider using BOTA Age-Defying Daily Face Lotion to maintain your skin smooth, supple, and youthfully radiant. Protect your skin from moisture loss while sleeping with BOTA Age-Defying Night Cream or BOTA De-Stressing Nightly Face Cream. Formulated for all skin types, apply your favourite BOTA CBD-infused moisturizer while your skin is still damp from cleansing and toning.

Step #5 – Apply UV Protection Daily, and Repeat Every 2 hours 

After applying moisturiser, finish your basic skincare routine with sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. If you’re wearing chemical sunscreen, wait around 20 minutes for it to start interacting with your skin before going outside. Although mineral sunscreens give instant protection, they must be applied freely to guarantee proper coverage. Reapply sunscreen every two hours or as directed by the manufacturer throughout the day. If you’re apprehensive to apply sunscreen over your makeup, invest in an SPF 30 spray or brush-on mineral powder. 4,5

Are You Interested in Trying BOTA Plant-Powered CBD Skincare Products?

Taking care of your skin is a lifetime endeavour. Although genetics play a significant part in fundamental skin type, you have control over many aspects of your skin’s overall health and look. However, products designed to keep skin smooth, supple, and vibrant frequently elicit unanticipated reactions. Consider how your skin might respond to a simple plant-powered CBD skincare routine if the products you’re currently using to help regulate oil production, relax inflammation, or minimise the look of lines and wrinkles aren’t producing the results you’ve been hoping for.
