How Does CBD play a factor in skin care?

CBD offers relief not only from pain, anxiety, and depression but it also has anti-inflammatory and anti-acne properties. (1)

A study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology found that CBD and Cannabigerol (CBG) can control cell proliferation and differentiation which treats skin allergies and side effects of skin cancer. (2)

Our endocannabinoid system consists of many cannabinoid receptors, and a large portion of these are found in the skin.

CBD has been shown to be particularly effective in controlling potential skin cancers like melanoma.

CBD skin care products like skin cream and skin balm sooth pain while helping with skin issues like eczema, acne and aging signs.

CBD has immunosuppressive properties, which means it works on skin conditions from the inside out. This is very helpful for those seeking treatment for Psoriasis. (3)

An Abstract published in 2014 concluded that their findings suggest that due to the combined lipostatic, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory effects, CBD has potential as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of acne vulgaris. (4)
