If beauty products are only making you look pale and plastic, we’ve got a magic ingredient for you; a compound that exists naturally, and has no side effects, but delivers fast, healing effects that keep you looking young for years! CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the most popular skin care ingredients today and with good reason: it is a powerful antioxidant, and it improves skin condition through a complex process that involves balancing hormones, removing toxins, and hydrating skin.
CBD is a cannabinoid; basically one of the many compounds present in hemp and marijuana. It doesn’t make you high, but it does provide a ton of healthy ingredients that include skin-nourishing properties. One of its amazing effects is the ability to slow aging, both in body and mind. Due to its antioxidant properties, it can reduce skin infections and improve complexion by removing free radicals, controlling sebum function, and by keeping some known pollutants at bay.
What makes CBD unique is the fact that it acts as a treatment for common skin infections such as acne and eczema, but it also prevents many of today’s most common skin problems, including lines, wrinkles, and patches of bad skin. It does this through interaction with other cannabinoids in the body, but it also provides what’s missing in the network of hormones, ingredients, and water – of which CBD is just another ingredient that goes to work to make you look healthy and young.
We don’t need to tell you how important it is to have all the vitamins and minerals in your diet for good skin. It’s virtually impossible to look good without consuming what you need for hair, nails, and skin. CBD products contain high amounts of skin-friendly vitamins such as Vitamin E, which rejuvenates your skin and makes you look healthy. These vitamins also contribute to your health in other ways, such as making sure the skin is provided with oils, and ingredients to fight pollution, sun exposure, and cold.
If breakouts are common for you then it might have something to do with your skin’s oil production, which is almost the cause of bumps and pimples. Some antioxidant activity is needed to stop the skin from producing too much oil, and CBD acts on the sebaceous glands to prevent infection, stop overproduction and reduce the swelling on the pores. Once this is done, the skin returns to normal, with most of the pimples gone, and the pores cleaned of the clog.
Using CBD twice in a day, once in the morning, and once again in the evening, can help a lot with oil production. Do this for a few weeks to prevent acne, psoriasis, eczema, and other skin problems.
Since CBD reduces swelling, it’s perfect for treating puffy eyes. This works two ways actually: CBD improves quality of sleep, which means you’re likely to get a good night’s rest and not wake swollen around the eyes. The other way this works is by treating localized inflammation, in this case around the eyes. Normally, this area of the face would be difficult to treat without causing irritation and raising the risk of more inflammation, but CBD eliminates these risks.
Because CBD works with other natural cannabinoids, it is the perfect way to slow aging, without interfering with normal processor introducing foreign compounds in the body. Skin care involves a number of things; providing antioxidant properties to get rid of toxins and infections, providing natural ingredients for smooth skin, and keeping skin hydrated. CBD provides all these properties, and that makes it the best natural anti-aging product.
Being happy means having a glow that comes from good health, a good diet, and balanced life. CBD can help you get there by giving the body what it needs to generate that natural glow. Speak to your doctor about using CBD as part of your skincare routine.
