CBD topicals and the fight against aging
Studies are showing that CBD may be able to help reduce the signs of aging. CBD can play a vital role in helping keep our skin hydrated and healthy. Hemp plants that produce CBD oil contain two fatty acids, omega 6 and omega 3, that stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the substance that helps hold our body together. This helps to prevent excess water loss, meaning that the skin will stay nice and hydrated. CBD doesn't just make skin look better, it promotes overall skin health.CBD for acne
Did you know that CBD might be the answer for acne prone skin? Studies are looking promising on the fight against acne. Ace is a skin condition that arises when dead skin cells , dirt, or excess oil accumulates in pores, therefore clogging them. According to researchers CBD targets the cells that activate acne, thus reducing its effects on acne prone skin. CBD has also been proven to be a great anti-inflammatory, which makes it a good option to consider for acne treatment.
CBD for Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a non-communicable (non-contagious) disease of the immune system where T-cells attack healthy skin cells at an abnormal rate. Instead of the normal 28-30 days, new cells are produced every 2-4 days. This results in a buildup of dead skin tissue due to the epidermis being unable to shed cells fast enough, before new cells form. CBD may help manage psoriasis flare-ups by activating the cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptors of the ECS by modulating the immune system functions. A study done in 2007, published in the Journal of Dermatological Science revealed some very interesting information regarding CBD’s effects on certain skin conditions. Cannabinoids like CBD can inhibit keratinocyte proliferation, a contributing factor to chronic skin conditions like psoriasis.
