A wave of cannabis-infused beauty products has swept through the beauty industry gaining rapid popularity from non-kush smokers and stoners alike. The cannabis plant contains a variety of cannabinoids containing different types of medicinal benefits. From these cannabinoids, oils are extracted that contain high concentrations of CBD or cannabidiol. CBD oil is being added to topical beauty products such as lip balms, lotions, and creams for specific medicinal properties that benefit our face and body and mind. Benefits of using infused products include reducing skin inflammation, increasing skins moisture, and reducing pain.
Each one of our bodies is equipped with an endocannabinoid system that is responsible for activating cell membrane receptors throughout our bodies. Within this system, we naturally produce cannabinoids and hold two cannabinoids receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB2 receptors are commonly found in the immune system which impacts our reaction to inflammation as well as pain. By interacting our bodies endocannabinoid system with CBD products we tend to positively stimulate CB2 cannabinoids within our bodies with medicinal benefits that target the receptors that cause inflammation and pain. CBD oil contains magical properties that reduce skin inflammation from within, helping reduce issues with acne, dry skin, and swollen joints. In addition, the medicinal qualities of cannabis oil help reduce and alleviate pain caused by sore muscles or achy joints from arthritis.

In fact, the mixture of these amazing benefits within CBD oil is causing this oil to be infused with lotions and creams that help reduce and treat issues with extremely dry skin such as eczema and psoriasis. In addition, cannabis-infused beauty products are useful after sun care because the product will not only intensely moisturize the skin but also reduces the swelling and itching.

Everyone’s acne has different origins, making it difficult for dermatologists to develop a cure that works for everyone. However, CBD oil has anti-oil properties instrumental in preventing breakouts for nearly any skin type. The delicacy of cannabinoid oil normalizes the skin and helps suppress breakouts because it healing properties help to regulate the production of oil in the sebaceous glands, diminishing the total amount of oil produces and reducing the chance of pores getting clogged.

Cannabis oil is chock-full of antioxidants and vitamins that provide intense beauty benefits. Any topical skin care products infused with CBD oil usually have the magical ability to reverse the signs of aging and further reduce the signs for the future.

The combination of these vitamins and other natural antioxidants makes CBD the queen of anti-aging.
Along with skin benefits, CBD oil contains a plethora of fatty amino acids beneficial for hair and nail health. Using cannabis-infused beauty products, more specifically shampoos and conditioners, stimulates hair growth through the scalp’s absorption of these fatty acids. Overall, this oil makes hair stronger, softer and grow faster and healthier.
