Society is becoming increasingly tolerant of cannabis. More and more U.S. States are legalizing it and general, people are starting to understand that cannabis has much less risk than people thought. Although the stigma surrounding recreational cannabis remains for some people, it’s becoming nearly impossible to deny the far-reaching therapeutic benefits of cannabis. Can we include CBD moisturizer in that? Absolutely.
Now for those of you who don’t know what CBD (cannabidiol) is, it’s one of the active ingredients in cannabis. However, it is not what causes the psychoactive effects of cannabis, or the feeling of getting high. This effect is only caused by THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), another active ingredient (cannabinoid) in the plant.
So, if there’s one thing we need to make clear right off the hop, it’s that CBD doesn’t promote any type of high, and in fact it has no psychoactive potential at all. CBD moisturizer has become a popular choice for skin care and has been proven to help with various skin conditions. You can apply CBD moisturizer and don’t need to worry about feeling ‘differently’ or intoxicated at all. And the same can be said for all CBD skin care products.
So, what’s the appeal of CBD moisturizer and all the many CBD skin care products that are coming onto the market then? While THC is an intoxicant cannabinoid, CBD only has therapeutic effects and that’s what makes it safe for people who want to use these products.
CBD Moisturizer For Skin Conditions
CBD moisturizer and CBD skin cream have significant potential for helping people with skin conditions including:
- Psoriasis
- Acne
- Dry skin
Plus, moisturizers with CBD has general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Some CBD skin care products will have CBD and tea tree oil together. These products are best if your aim is to reduce the severity of acne breakouts. There are a good number of CBD face moisturizers on the market that have tea tree oil as a primary ingredient.
In addition, CBD is easily absorbed through the skin when using a CBD moisturizer and can be helpful for promoting better mental wellness and a host of other specific health benefits. One of the more notable benefits is the fact that CBD is a powerful antioxidant and a CBD moisturizer will deliver these antioxidant benefits directly to the skin.
Hemp Seed Oil
Pairing a good CBD moisturizer with hemp seed oil is especially beneficial for the skin. Hemp seed oil contains vitamins A, C, and E and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and these constituents work particularly well in conjunction with CBD to promote visibly healthy skin.
