CBD + Face Care
Jan 26th 2023
Ever since ancient times people have used natural ingredients like honey, olive oil, dead sea salt, aloe and many others for skin care. With the discovery of new ingredients and technology beauty products just keep evolving. By now you have probably heard of CBD and its many benefits like the ability to help reduce stress, improve sleep and relieve discomfort, but it can also soothe skin problems and currently trending is CBD in face care products. CBD serums are recommended because they're highly concentrated and easy to layer.
One of the reported functions of CBD is controlling inflammation. The body has two CBD receptors that we know of as part of the endocannabinoid system, a complex cell signaling network that helps regulate and balance key bodily functions. CBD interacts with these receptors to reduce the inflammatory response and you may see less redness and feel less itchy. Other studies have shown CBD applied for acne helped reduce levels of skin sebum. Sebum is an oily waxy substance produced by our sebaceous glands, but too much can cause problems. CBD is also a potent antioxidant and clinical studies along with personal reviews give evidence that it reduces inflammation, regulates oil production, and neutralizes free radical damage from the environment.
Ingredients Matter
When searching for face products look for other ingredients to enhance the effects of CBD. Natural botanical ingredients work synergistically with CBD to improve penetration and deliver ingredients deep into the skin. Read labels carefully to ensure your product actually contains CBD and not just hemp seed oil. While hemp seed oil is an effective moisturizer, it does not have the calming properties of CBD. CBD has the ability to balance skin stress triggers by working with the endocannabinoid system to keep your skin from being overwhelmed by environmental and inflammatory stressors. Other popular ingredients trending in face care include Retinol, Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and Niacinamide.
Retinol
Retinol is made from Vitamin A and is a popular anti-aging ingredient the helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles and large pores. It is also used to treat Acne. By slowing the breakdown of collagen and making skin more elastic, it can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol helps unclog pores, increases skin production, and exfoliates your skin giving you a fresher appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by our bodies to lubricate and cushion connective tissue. As we age our levels of hyaluronic acid decline. However topical products that contain hyaluronic acid can help restore our bodies depleted levels. It attracts and binds to water molecules and increases the water content of the skin. The key benefit of hyaluronic acid is hydration and its incredible ability to retain moisture.
Vitamin C
Topical Vitamin C is a favorite ingredient among dermatologists and has plenty of scientific backing to show that it may help slow early skin aging, improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and acne, and prevent sun damage. Other known benefits include even skin tones, decreased redness, brighter complexion, skin hydration, and stimulated collagen production.
Niacinamide
A form of Vitamin B3, Niacinamide can help to reduce inflammation and hyperpigmentation, smooth skin texture and brighten your skin. It also can minimize redness and blotchiness, minimize pore appearance, and reduce the signs of sun damage that come with aging including reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Used topically every day niacinamide may have a positive impact on your overall skin health.
TWINE has combined these popular ingredients with our 99% pure CBD isolate to bring you a new line of beauty products for your skin. When starting any new skin care routine, give it time to work. In fact your skin may look worse at first as you adjust to the new routine. Most available research reports noticeable improvements after four weeks, and even more changes to your skin after eight weeks. It is a good idea to test new products on a small area on your forearm to ensure there are no product sensitivities or allergic reactions. Face and eye serums are applied after toning but before moisturizing.
