With the expansion of cannabis use in almost three-fourths of states, CBD-infused treatments have emerged as a multimillion-dollar industry niche. There is good reason! Expanded use has led to more research, and according to new research, yes, you should add CBD to your skincare routine.

What Are the Benefits of CBD Skincare Products?

Many people use CBD products in their wellness routine but usually ingest them. The idea of topical CBD (like relieving lotions and balms) isn’t new, but incorporating CBD into beauty products, cleansers, and lip balms has recently started catching on.

The body’s massive endocannabinoid system covers you from head to toe — almost every part of your body and system within you contains cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoids like CBD work with this system to deliver their many benefits.

CBD skincare products inspire benefits by interacting with the cannabinoid receptors in your skin. The cannabinoid receptors in your skin aren’t the same as the cannabinoid receptors within your body.

This means that using CBD skincare products won’t have the same effects as taking a nighttime CBN gummy for sleep. CBD skincare products can work on and slightly below the surface of your skin without reaching your broader internal endocannabinoid system.

When CBD comes into contact with the receptors in your skin, it can help them perform their natural functions. This can include supporting sensitive skin types, soothing dry skin, and helping to support balanced sebum production.

Too much sebum can cause the skin to feel oily or develop skin conditions. On the other hand, too little sebum can lead to dry, cracked skin and other skin problems. You don’t want to swing too far to either side — it’s important to find an easy balance.

CBD may help your skin work towards creating that balance, especially when used alongside other active ingredients. When used as a part of a comprehensive cleansing, moisturizing, and treatment regimen, CBD can play a major role in maintaining overall skin health.

To experience the full effects of CBD on the skin, try combining CBD with other skin-soothing ingredients. Many skincare products contain aloe vera, vitamin C, and essential oils to help protect the skin cells from free radical damage. Combining these ingredients can help support your skin health like never before.

Of course, your dermatologist will know your skin best. If you have skin diseases or conditions, sensitive skin, or are experiencing side effects from your current skincare products, schedule an appointment at your local dermatology office to get personalized medical advice.

What Is the Difference Between Hemp Seed Oil and CBD?

A lot of people are still learning about CBD and are interested in incorporating the benefits of CBD into their daily routines. They’ll look for product packaging with leaves from a Cannabis sativa plant on it or check for the word “hemp” in the brand name or product name.

However, these products probably aren’t CBD products.

Hemp seed oil is deeply moisturizing, rich in omega fats, and less likely to cause breakouts than heavier skincare oils. It’s excellent at combating dryness and can be great for your skin, but it doesn’t contain a single milligram of CBD. The benefits of hemp seed oil are mostly for hydration.

CBD comes from the flower of the cannabis plant — there is no CBD in the seeds of a hemp plant. Hemp seed oil products won’t have the same benefits as CBD skincare products.

Unless a product’s packaging specifically states that it contains CBD, it’s best to assume that it doesn’t. Products with CBD should always denote how much CBD is in each package.

If you’re interested in the benefits of both, you can use hemp seed oil and high-quality CBD serum in your skincare routine at the same time. You can even use plain cold-pressed hemp seed oil from the baking aisle at the grocery store — it doesn’t need to be anything fancy to get the job done.

What Does Recent Research Say?

Recent research says plenty about CBD’s therapeutic benefits, and it’s all good news. Below we listed three possible reasons for using a CBD skincare treatment in your own routine.

Supports Youthful-Looking Skin

Some research shows that cannabidiol may work to support proper skin elasticity, which decreases naturally with age. Elasticity is what helps your skin stay youthful-looking, allowing it to properly repair itself and snap back into place when stretched.

As we age, our skin dries out and loses elasticity. CBD-infused skincare products might be the last best part of your cleansing routine. Imagine! CBD you can put on your skin, skincare backed up by research.

Helps Soothe Skin

Many people hail the benefits of taking CBD internally. But wait! There’s more research. Some studies indicate that CBD may work to ease common skin concerns and provide overall soothing properties..

This last point is something we stress at Blue Forest Farms. Our CBD flowers and seeds are federally approved for sale. We don’t sell THC products. However, we passionately believe in the benefits of CBD and all of the cannabinoids.

Blemishes and Breakouts
