What Are the Benefits of CBD Skincare?: Skincare products tend to fall neatly into particular categories, but skincare requirements can differ dramatically from one person to the next, even among persons with the same basic skin type. If you’ve been spending a significant portion of your beauty money on skincare products that aren’t living up to your expectations, it may be time to rethink your strategy, change your routine, and invest in the numerous potential benefits of CBD skincare. Once you understand what CBD is and how it works, it’s easy to see why so many individuals are reporting positive outcomes for seemingly unrelated skin conditions.

What Exactly Is CBD? Could It Aid in the Improvement of My Complexion?

CBD is a cannabinoid, and it is the most prevalent of more than 100 non-intoxicating active plant elements found in naturally grown hemp. The cannabinoid-rich oil is taken from the plant’s stalks, stems, and flowers. If you’ve been keeping up with the current skincare trends, you’ve probably seen a significant increase in the number of beauty products infusing this non-intoxicating cannabinoid into toners, serums, creams, and lotions, and for good reason.

Although hemp-derived CBD is not a cure or treatment for any known skin issues, current research suggests an impressive list of possible skin benefits, including a reported ability to calm inflammation, fortify skin proteins with essential amino acids and protect vulnerable complexions from the number one cause of premature lines, wrinkles, and sag-inducing collagen loss, free radical damage.

Is CBD Safe for All Skin Types? How Does It Work?

CBD is usually regarded as safe for the majority of people and all skin types. The cannabinoid is likewise well-tolerated and has a low risk of adverse effects. CBD penetrates the outermost layer of your skin and interacts with critical receptors beneath the surface when administered topically. CBD affects receptors that are part of your skin’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Although we don’t know everything there is to know about ECS signalling, researchers believe its principal job is to restore balance when internal or external causes disrupt it (homeostasis). How that impact translates to individual skin advantages is mainly determined by which critical processes are returned to balance by ECS support.

Although the majority of the evidence supporting the cannabinoid’s numerous purported skin advantages is based on lab results and a small number of clinical trials, the research gathered thus far is highly compelling. With ECS receptors present on practically every type of skin cell, current research reveals a plethora of potential advantages for a variety of skin issues.

Have you got oily or blemished skin?

Consider yourself fortunate if your skin produces a lot of oil. Oily skin has a natural, dewy sheen, adjusts well to seasonal fluctuations, and is more resistant to lines and wrinkles than other skin types. However, as everyone with oily skin knows, excessive oil production can increase the likelihood of pimples and outbreaks.

Although it is critical to keep blemish-prone skin clean, skincare products made for oily skin tend to deplete its protective lipid barrier, which is known to cause an increase in oil production that is counterproductive. According to the findings of a 2014 study, CBD’s interaction with the receptors on oil-producing cells (sebocytes) aids in the regulation of oil production. Similar studies attribute the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics of cannabinoids to a reduction in the incidence and severity of bumps and blemishes. 1,2

Is your skin reactive or sensitive?

When you have a sensitive complexion, even seemingly innocuous modifications in your skincare routine can produce itching, burning, and obvious indications of irritation. Some people associate sensitivity with eczema, rosacea, and other skin disorders that have strong genetic components. According to current research, the sensitivity might also be a sign of poor barrier function.

Sensitivity-induced irritation is linked to cellular damage, oxidative stress, and collagen loss.3 Although individual results can vary, CBDs influence key receptors modulating barrier function and inflammatory responses could be just what your sensitive skin needs to look and feel its best. With inflammation managed and moisture balance restored, your skin could be far less reactive. The research also shows possible benefits for calming even severe itching and alleviating discomfort.4

Are You Concerned About Premature Skin Aging? 

Ingredients in anti-aging skincare products are often chosen to help speed skin cell turnover, boost collagen production, remove discolouration, or reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Although there is a lot of industry research claiming that the ingredients in most anti-aging skincare products can restore youthful vibrancy, many of them actually induce flaking, peeling, irritation, and UV sensitivity.

On paper, the arguments for using harsh substances to show “younger” skin appear to be sound. However, the majority of those chemicals and substances are designed to address the symptoms of skin ageing rather than the underlying cause. CBD is unique. CBD has significant anti-aging potential yet is gentle on your skin since it interacts with the receptors in your skin that are responsible for cell formation and turnover rates, oil production, collagen synthesis, pigmentation, and moisture retention. 5

Just about any beauty brand can add a small amount of CBD powder to a product or two and claim they’ve developed a CBD skincare line. Technically, they have. However, many skincare brands hoping to capitalize on consumer interest in hemp-derived CBD skincare products have little to no knowledge of CBD use. Once you realize just how many companies are adding hemp-derived CBD to creams, lotions, and serums made with artificial fragrances, parabens, and other questionable chemicals, you have to wonder if they understand the details that matter most.
