CBD Face Cream in Your Skincare Routine
Incorporating CBD in your skincare routine might be beneficial with research showing that CBD has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties [1]. Start by choosing your favourite CBD skin care product and make sure your face is clean and dry. Then simply take a pea-sized amount and gently massage it into your skin using upward circular motions. Remember to focus on areas with dryness, redness or irritation to thoroughly moisturise them - but avoid the delicate eye area.
If you are just getting started with adding a CBD product (or any new product) to your skincare routine start by using it once a day. Use it preferably in the evening to see how your skin adjusts and reacts. If your skin responds well you can gradually increase the usage to twice a day - in the morning and before bedtime. And of course as with any skincare product patch testing is always advised. To do this apply a small amount to your forearm and observe for any reactions within 24 hours to make sure you have no allergic or adverse reaction.
Make sure you are using a quality CBD skincare product that contains a clear dosage of the active ingredient and follows safety standards. Credible products will offer transparency and clarity for consumers. All Harmony products are developed and produced in the EU - where they were also tested and registered within the legal framework.
CBD Cream for Face and Other CBD Skincare Products
CBD beauty has been rapidly gaining popularity. One of the most sought-after products is CBD face cream. This comes at no surprise as these creams are a truly effective blend of nourishing ingredients. Ranging from essential oil infused day creams to ultra hydrating CBD balms with hemp seed oil - there's a suitable product for everyone!
Harmony's CBD skin care features the purest premium CBD isolate along with a carefully selected blend of essential oils and terpenes. Terpenes are small molecules naturally found in the cannabis plant (and others) giving them their unique flavour and scent [2]. They are offering significant benefits on their own, but the true magic happens when they are combined with cannabinoids where they can unfold what is known as the "entourage effect". A beneficial synergy between all the compounds in the product formulation [3].
In addition to face creams there are other CBD skincare products like CBD facial oils. These are lightweight dry-feeling oil blends that deliver concentrated nutrients to the skin. A quality CBD face oil can work wonders on your skin - addressing various skin concerns while providing hydration.
Keep in mind that while CBD-infused face creams and other skincare products offer great benefits they must not be considered a medical treatment for skin issues! Always consult your dermatologist or healthcare professional if you have doubts or underlying health concerns.
CBD Face Cream Benefits
We already mentioned it - CBD face cream offers various benefits thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties [4].
One of the primary and obvious benefits of CBD face cream is its potential to soothe skin and with that reduce redness [5]. Its anti-inflammatory effects could be particularly helpful for those who suffer from sensitive skin or conditions like eczema and psoriasis[6]. By targeting the exact root of inflammation CBD face cream might help provide relief and promote a healthier skin barrier.
In addition to these soothing properties CBD face cream might also help combat the signs of ageing. Its has proven antioxidant properties that may contribute to reducing wrinkles and fine lines by protecting your skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress [7]. Additionally a CBD cream can aid in regulating sebum (the skin's natural oil) production - which plays a huge role in acne development[8]. By keeping sebum levels balanced and at bay CBD face cream may help prevent breakouts and maintain a clear and radiant complexion.
