Everyone seems to be raving about CBD these days—CBD edibles, CBD capsules, and CBD beauty products. It’s no secret that CBD has taken the country by storm since the Farm Bill legalized it in 2018, but you’re probably wondering, “why the hype?”

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that is extracted from the Cannabis plant. In some cases, it can stem from the industrial hemp that also belongs to the Cannabis family. CBD is just one cannabinoid out of many— more than 100, to be exact. It is considered to be a powerful agent that can fight a number of health issues, from anxiety to pain. 

The Beauty Benefits

Specifically speaking on behalf of the beauty world, CBD works wonders on the skin. Have acne or major skin problems? CBD would serve as an excellent addition to your beauty routine. This topical agent can alleviate inflammation and reverse the effects of free radicals that age the skin. It is also a healthier alternative to the conventional skincare products that often contain toxic chemicals.

CBD as an Acne Treatment

Acne isn’t fun. Nobody likes it, and nobody wants it. In addition to the fact that it’s a pain in the butt, acne can also irritate the skin in a damaging way. Evidence has shown that in most cases, CBD is an effective form of treatment for acne. It can be used to treat eczema, psoriasis, and more. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties contribute to its effectiveness, along with its ability to work in harmony with the sebum that your body creates. The success of CBD as an acne treatment depends on the type of acne a person has—along with the severity of it.

CBD as an Anti-Aging Device

The biological clock stops for no one. While aging is a beautiful thing, skin can withstand the test of time with the proper level of care. The collagen production in your body begins to decline after the age of 20. Layers of the skin also begin to thin out, causing it to become more delicate and less likely to produce the natural oils it was once able to. As a result, the skin loses its firmness over time and begins to wrinkle.

Clinical studies have proven that CBD can reduce the visibility of aging in your skin. With its neuro-protective and antioxidant properties, CBD works to reinvigorate the skin’s ability to produce collagen and natural oils. This restores the elasticity that your skin once had.

Your Skin May Reach a Higher Level, but You Won’t Get Stoned

There’s one common misconception about CBD that deters people from trying it. Considering that it is a product of the cannabis plant, many assume that it can get you high. This is false information and is causing many people to miss out on its amazing benefits.

Another cannabinoid by the name of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) also stems from the same plant as CBD. THC is what causes the mind-altering effects of marijuana. Although they are members of the same family (and some CBD products contain trace amounts of THC), CBD isn’t strong enough to give you “the buzz” you may be concerned about. 

CBD is relatively safe to use on the skin, and its effectiveness means it’s not some fad that’ll go away in a few years. This fantastic addition to your beauty routine can produce flawless skin and long-lasting results.
