If you’ve never used CBD-infused lotions or creams on your skin, you’re missing out. In the first place, CBD-infused products rarely contain the chemicals, parabens, artificial preservatives and other synthetic components that can be toxic and harm your skin. Nope, what you get from Lost Remedy, are CBD, essential and carrier oils and purified water, all organically sourced. But, lack of chemicals isn’t the only reason to use these products to nourish, protect and renew your skin. Here are five more reasons you might want to give CBD products a try.
Nutrition
CBD or hemp oil contains the essential fatty acids of Omega 6 and 3 as well as a bevy of vitamins, proteins and minerals that absorb directly into the skin. By using CBD, combined with essential and carrier oils, which are also rich in vitamins and minerals, you are nourishing your skin as well as hydrating and protecting it. Your skin needs more than just moisture to retain its elasticity and smooth texture, which CBD can offer. CBD also helps protect against free radicals—UV rays, smoke and environmental pollutants—that damage and age skin.
Healing
Skin acts as a filter for our bodies, deflecting many of the omnipresent pollutants in our atmosphere. Our skin works hard to protect our internal selves, and that takes a toll. But you can apply CBD topicals to heal the damage caused by external elements. Here’s why. CBD is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial, with essential fatty acids that moisturize and protect the skin. Each time you apply CBD topicals, you treat your skin and body to a plethora of healing elements.
Endocannabinoid system
Human beings already have cannabinoid receptors and most of them are in the skin. So, using CBD lotions and creams not only keeps the skin soft and young looking, it can help heal or protect skin from conditions such as acne, psoriasis, dry skin, skin cancer and so much more. By applying cannabinoids, you’ll kick-start your own receptors to create even more positive effects.
Appearance
Individuals who want to preserve a youthful appearance will be pleasantly surprised by CBD-infused products. The natural ingredients not only help prevent the visible signs of aging, they’re a natural protection from damaging UV rays—an SPF equivalent of 6. Unlike other chemically produced SPF products, CBD allows the absorption of vitamin D, vital to so many of your body’s systems.
Acne
Acne, the bane of any teen’s existence, also plagues many adults. Caused by overproduction of oils called lipids, acne responds to CBD because it inhibits lipid production to prevent or help treat acne. Anti-inflammatory properties help control the redness that accompanies pimples, which are essentially infections. Finally, its antibacterial properties treat the infection and fend off acne’s return.
So, be kind to your skin with products that fortify and nourish it. Your whole body will thank you.
