Table of Contents
Everybody loves skin care products, right?! After all, there’s nothing better than feeling clean, hydrated and refreshed.
In fact, those moments of self-care make all the difference in your day, for sure.
Have you ever thought that your skin care products could be CBD-based?
Cannabidiol is becoming a super popular ingredient in skin care products. After all, its properties ensure radiant and healthy skin in a super natural way.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of CBD for the skin, name some amazing products and show you how you can incorporate them into your skin care routine.
Discover the CBD skin care benefits
That CBD has numerous benefits for the body and everyday life you are probably aware of.
Now, it is time to understand what its advantages are for beautiful and healthy skin:
1. Mega hydration!
Did you know that dry skin is one of the main causes of dermatitis and itching?
A research conducted in 2009 stated that CBD-based products can be highly effective in treating dehydrated skin.
This is because they stimulate CB2 in the sebaceous glands, increasing local production of endocannabinoids and/or inhibiting their degradation.
Consequently, they also increase the production of fat by the glands.
This helps to balance the condition of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, it is able to provide antioxidant benefits.
Reduction of inflammation and rosacea
Studies claim that the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD reduce inflammation of the skin and rosacea.
Thus, redness can be reduced and the skin gains a more even and healthy appearance.
Antioxidant benefits
CBD is rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals that can cause skin damage over time.
So your skin can look more radiant and youthful than ever.
Acne control
CBD has been studied for its effects on excessive sebum secretion, which may help prevent and reduce acne.
In this same study, besides CBD, other phytocannabinoids were pointed out as beneficial for acne reduction.
Wound healing
A few studies suggest that topical application of CBD may help speed wound healing.
After all, the expression of CB1 and CB2 receptors is regulated during the healing process, influencing various cell types, such as fibroblasts and immune cells.

2. Moisturisers and creams enriched with CBD
Applying a CBD cream before a day’s work is synonymous with softer, more hydrated skin.
Another ideal time to apply moisturisers is after a shower, with the skin still damp. After all, that’s when the nutrients are best absorbed.

Facial tonics with CBD can help balance pH, reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin.
Thus, they exist in wide varieties on the market. Plus, they are easy to implement into your self-care routine.
At the end of a delightful shower, after washing your face thoroughly, apply it from the centre of your face towards the edges.
4. Lip moisturising with CBD

After all, they help moisturising dry and chapped lips, as well as providing antioxidant benefits.
Finally, they help to add a clean and natural touch to the mouth. Who doesn’t like it?

Are there any restrictions on the use of CBD for skin care?
Like any other substance, CBD can bring about allergic reactions or unwanted side effects.
So be aware of two situations:
- If you are sensitive to cannabis
- If you have a sensitive, damaged or overly inflamed skin condition
In these conditions, a dermatologist can help you understand if products with CBD are recommended or choose a specific product for your skin condition.
