Best Cannabidiol Skin Care

CBD or cannabidiol is a chemical compound naturally found in cannabis plants and widely used for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Likewise, this ingredient is increasingly being employed to make different products for topical use such as creams, lotions, serums, oils, bath bombs, etc.

Thus, in order to explore the full spectrum of cannabidiol, in this article we’ll discover all the possible benefits that this cannabinoid provides, as well as the best products on the market to take our skin care routines to the top thanks to this amazing compound that is revolutionizing the CBD cosmetics industry.

What is CBD skin care

When talking about CBD skin care, we are referring to all CBD-based products created for topical use in order to improve the skin health thanks to the properties of this non-psychoactive ingredient. Thus, we must clarify here that CBD mustn’t be confused with THC.

For its part, THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is another chemical compound found in cannabis but, unlike CBD, it does produce psychoactive effects as THC binds to cannabis receptors in our brain, more specifically the CB1 that predominantly expresses in the central nervous system; that’s why THC produces a ‘high’ and CBD doesn’t.

On the other hand, despite both CBD and THC being extracted from cannabis plants, CBD is more likely to be produced by hemp plants, while THC is more abundant in marijuana plants.

Benefits of using CBD products

At this point, you must be wondering what are the ‘magical’ benefits of using CBD in your daily skin care routines. Some of the best properties for which this cannabinoid is used are:

• For anti-aging treatments
• Great moisturizing for dry skins
• Brightening your skin
• Repairing skin barriers
• As an anti-inflammatory
• Acne, dermatitis and psoriasis treatment
• Antioxidant properties

CBD skin care legality

In regards to the legality of these products, cannabis or cannabis-derived ingredients are not forbidden by regulation.

Although some CBD cosmetics contain a small percentage of THC, there is no way they could possibly produce any psychoactive effect on us when using them in our daily skin care routines.
