Incorporating CBD into your Skincare Routine

Have you heard that you can already add CBD to your skincare routine? Yes, this most talked about ingredient in the market has now entered the world of beauty and skincare as well! With this, you can see a number of products made available – serums, sunscreen, collagen cream, moisturizing cream, and even cleansers infused with CBD.

So the next question is: how can you craft a regimen that will elevate your beauty to the next level? If you are still uncertain of joining the CBD bandwagon, maybe this article can help you answer some of your queries and everything you need to know about CBD skincare.

Before we begin, what exactly is CBD?

In case you’re new to this game, CBD is short for Cannabidiol – a naturally-occurring chemical compound that can be found in Cannabis plants. It is one of the two primary ingredients of Cannabis. However, unlike its other ingredient called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive³. Yes, you can rest your worries; this won’t make you feel high.

How can CBD help my skin?

Interestingly, on a study conducted to test the therapeutic effect of CBD-ointment administered on patients with severe skin chronic diseases, it was found out that topical treatment with CBD-enriched ointment significantly improved the skin parameters, symptoms, and also the PASI index score. In addition, no records of skin irritation or allergic reactions came after the period treatment.¹

As it may help reduce the production of sebum in the skin2, studies also show that CBD may also exert complex anti-acne effects.⁴ In other studies, it was suggested that the anti-NET (Neutrophil Extracellular Trap) properties of CBD may have positive effect in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis.⁵

Although it requires much more research, there are a number of researches that already show the promising benefits of CBD which include its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties³.

If you’re familiar with skincare regimen, the usual steps would go as follows:

1. Cleanser
