CBD for Skin

How CBD Works With Skin

CBD does its job by stimulating specific receptors in our bodies. These receptors connect to our peripheral nervous system, which stretches out to many different organs, including the skin.

It provides a localized effect when applied through topical means because it becomes absorbed through the pores – working with receptors inside the skin.

When it comes to CBD creams, the higher the milligrams, the stronger the formula is. If you are someone who lives with chronic pain, then a good and high-quality CBD cream is definitely something that may be of use to you.

It also is very helpful for those who play sports and exercise. It can make a world of difference when applied after a workout. Your body will certainly thank you after a hard day.

 

CBD and inflammation

CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties has been the subject of rather substantial research. To minimise the redness and sensitivity of sunburned skin, for instance, we must first reduce the inflammatory response of the body.

Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, a study[1] explored CBD’s anti-inflammatory potential when used on an in vitro skin model.

A second study[2], from the Journal of Experimental Medicine, examined whether CBD could significantly suppress chronic inflammation and neuropathic pain. When you think back to our list of sunburn symptoms, both inflammation and physical discomfort made the top three.

 

How Does Topical CBD Work?

Creams, lotions, and other CBD-infused topical solutions are what we mean when we talk about CBD topicals. Earlier, we indicated that using CBD topically can help with mild physical discomfort and soreness in a confined surface region.

For instance, the most frequent type of physical discomfort that comes naturally a few hours after hard exercise is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and CBD topicals are the simplest and most popular approach to alleviating that pain.

When CBD molecules are absorbed via the skin, they interact with the sebaceous gland-forming cells, which are called sebocytes. The oily secretion of the sebaceous gland, known as sebum, is responsible for maintaining the skin’s pliability and resilience.

Since topical CBD absorption stops at the sebaceous gland, you must use a lot to have the desired effect, use a generous amount of the topical to achieve the desired effect.

 

What are some of the benefits of using a CBD cream instead of an oil?

The key distinction is in the area of focus. If you suffer from widespread chronic pain, for instance, you could find more relief from a sublingual (under the tongue) CBD oil. When applied topically, however, CBD cream works far more quickly than oil at relieving joint and muscular pain. In most cases, your body will need time to metabolise (digest) oil before it has any effect. As soon as the cream is absorbed into the skin at the site of application, relief should set in.

 

What are some other uses for CBD cream?

In addition to its other benefits, CBD cream also offers potent anti-inflammatory effects. Nonetheless, it is useful for a lot more than just relieving aches and pains in your muscles and joints. For example, if you have sunburn, you can apply the cream to the site of the burn and the CBD in the cream will help reduce your body’s inflammatory response. It can also assist to avoid infections at the site of the sunburn as well.

 

How much CBD cream should I use?

Apply CBD Cream to the targeted area of clean skin, and massage until well absorbed. To apply a more concentrated application, increase the amount of cream and apply to area. Do not apply to broken or sensitive skin.

New users are recommended to start on a low dose and build up gradually. For further information on your dosage.

 

Can CBD cream help my skin?

CBD skin cream has many benefits. CBD cream’s anti-inflammatory qualities may minimise redness, puffiness, and itching, and may help with eczema and psoriasis.
