Skincare is not something new. It has existed ever since the beginning of time; even history tells us how people in the olden times have been keen with their appearance. Remember Cleopatra? People have used a lot of ways and means to pamper themselves.

 

Nowadays, there are already a lot of skincare products – even synthetic ones. However, there are still people who prefer more of the natural way of taking care of their skin. In the olden times fresh herbs, leaves, fruits, flowers, bark of trees, and others are concocted to produce their beauty regimens. At present, some modern skincare products are still produced from purely natural ingredients. Cannabinoid or CBD is among the natural ingredients that have become so popular recently. This compound is discussed thoroughly in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol. CBD products are everywhere – from topical ointments to moisturizers and remedies to other skin conditions.

 

CBD and Acne

 

Acne is a condition that is caused by excess oil, dead skins, dirt, and clogged pores. It is caused by Propionibacterium; it shows as angry, itchy, red blemishes on the face.

 

Treating it means always keep the skin clean, free from the bacteria that cause it, and minimizing excess oil because this is what clogs the pores and eventually will result to the condition.

 

CBD has shown properties that can cure acne or stop build-up of the elements that cause it. In one study, experts have tested and measured the effects CBD compounds when applied to the skin and how it affects skin-producing glands. They found that the compound inhibits or slows down the production of oil and that it also has anti-inflammatory effects. This led them to pronounce that CBD is a potential therapeutic agent for treatment of acne.

 

Body Acne

 

This happens due to basically the same causes as what is experienced on the face, this means the same compound can also have positive effects on those forming in the body. In fact, many manufacturers are already beginning to incorporate CBD in body soaps and washes. 

 

Although these products are not yet marketed for body acne, the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are already providing the consumers some benefits.

 

Acne Scars

 

Acne causes some scars – these are caused by disruptions in the skin caused by huge pimples and when it is picked due to itchiness. Studies have shown that scars due to atopic dermatitis and psoriasis react when CBD ointments were used to treat the scars.  After two to three months after applying this ointment three times every day, there were significant improvements.

 

 

Other Skin Problems

 

Psoriasis – a published study showed that cannabinoid receptors reduce excess growth of skin cell, which is a common characteristic of psoriasis. Researchers are positive that in the theory that these cannabinoids can stop the receptors from causing build-up of skin cells in people suffering from psoriasis.

 

Itchy skins – conditions where there is unexplained itchiness of the skin; most promising treatment is CBD. Creams and ointments containing the compounds made a different in this condition. It is said that cannabinoids turn off the signals of the nerve endings that dictates itching. 

 

Fighting Wrinkles

Cannabinoid from hemp plants works well with the human skin’s own ECS since they are similar. In this process, whether used orally or topically to the skin, CBD oil fights wrinkles from outside and inside. It has the properties to act as powerful antioxidants, as moisturizers, and as anti-inflammatory – this is the inherent property that relaxes the human skin and makes wrinkles unnoticeable.

 

Anti-aging Benefits

CBD oil also contains ingredients that do not only help promote a healthy youthful skin but is also supplementary to good health in general. It includes Omega 6 and gamma-linolenic acid. It is the gamma-linolenic acid that has an anti-inflammatory property that helps with wrinkles. 

 

It also helps in the following:

  • Ease pain cuts down on facial expressions that cause wrinkles.
  • Manage stress and reduces cortisol production which causes eczema, acne, and other skin conditions that most women would stress all the more about if not handled immediately.
  • Enables quality sleeping which is significant to overall health.

 

Although a healthy lifestyle is always the key to good health, CBD skincare is a great supplement to this healthy lifestyle. It allows one to have all the factors promoting good quality of life. A good healthy skin over a healthy body adds to the confidence and self-esteem of a person.
