Psoriasis, eczema, skin cancer, dry scales? CBD oil can heal your skin. I have recently been trialing it on a deep forehead wrinkle and the wrinkle is finally less pronounced! Papercut? I had one in the web of my fingers hurt something awful until I put CBD oil on it and it was GONE/healed the next day! (not even kidding!:)
Potential Benefits of CBD Topicals
CBD itself is a powerful antioxidant, meaning it protects the skin from free radicals like UV rays, smoke, and environmental pollutants. Free radicals lead to wrinkles and fine lines, but antioxidants protect our skin from this damage and help fight the effects of aging.
Additionally, because cannabinoid receptors are located all throughout the skin, CBD has the capability of interacting with those receptors to encourage homeostasis and healing. Studies show that CBD can help treat an array of conditions related to the skin. Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, has been shown to improve after treatment with h**p oil. Also, CBD can adjust the output of oils in the skin and hair and inhibit skin cellsβ lipid production, making it effective for preventing acne. A 2013 study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology found that CBD controls cell proliferation and differentiation, indicating it can be used in treatment efforts for skin diseases like allergies or cancer.
Besides the natural health benefits of CBD, h**p oil topicals also contain an array of other essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids, to encourage skin health. Vitamins A and D are responsible for skin repair. They support skin cell growth and inhibit oil production to help keep skin soft and supple. Like CBD, Vitamins C and E are antioxidants and protect the skinβs collagen and elastin against damage from the sun and free radicals. B complex vitamins serve as part of the construction process for skin, hair, and nails to prevent dermatitis, hair loss, and other skin conditions.
