When a CBD skincare product gets the best rating from a site as conservative about their claims, it is time for everyone to stand up and take notice.
CBD, or, cannabidiol as it will most likely be listed in the back of the packaging, is not fully understood in the terms of how it exactly works when applied to the skin, however many research results show that it has multiple benefits.
The part that is easily understood that it is a very potent antioxidant, in the same category as vitamins E and C. Regular topical application of a cocktail of antioxidants is the best way to ensure both youthfulness as well as the overall health of your skin. Vitamin E is usually recommended to people with dry skin, while vitamin C contributes towards a clearer and brighter complexion, as well stimulates collagen production, however, sometimes the products they are delivered in might not be suitable to your skin or, in the case with vitamin C, might clash with other items in your routine. CBD fills this gap easily, with the added benefit that it appears not to have any counter-effects or blocks absorption of other ingredients.
The studies have also shown that CBD has appeared to control the skin’s sebum production, though this is one of those things that are not understood how they work. Nevertheless, this makes CDB products ideal for people with oily skin, considering that some products marketed at them can strip their natural skin barrier, making the problem worse.
Paula’s Choice lists this ingredient as skin-restoring and skin-soothing, putting it par with green tea and Centella Asiatica/Gotu Kola that, not only have similar effects but also to be some of the rare herbal ingredients that do deliver on these promises. Both soothing and restoring properties are highly beneficial to acne-prone, weather-damaged and stressed skin, and a combination of this and previously mentioned benefits makes it perfect for people who have to address several different skin issues at once.
Make sure to pay attention when purchasing your products- some products on the market do not contain any CBD at all. Always check the ingredients list and search for the word “cannabidiol”. Also, if possible, check with the manufacturer if your product is THC-free (any number below 0.3% is okay). The lack of this psychoactive compound makes it not only little more legal anywhere in the world, but also ensures greater effectiveness of the product.
