Why Use CBD for Skin Care?

To understand how CBD can function in skin care, you need to know how it interacts with your body.

The Endocannabinoid System

Elsewhere on this blog, we’ve explained that CBD interacts with your endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is involved in many different bodily functions, but overall it supports homeostasis: the balance your body maintains in the face of various environmental pressures.

Topical CBD Benefits

When you take CBD internally, this can help you feel calm and relaxed. But your skin has endocannabinoid receptors too, which can interact with topical CBD products in more targeted ways.

Research into the benefits of topical CBD is still ongoing, but many users find that it’s as calming and balancing for skin as for everywhere else. We’ve already successfully combined CBD with pain medicines to make extra-soothing topical products, so why not harmonize it with the best of skin care?

The Best CBD Skin Care Products

Each of our bath, body, and facial skin care products contains Superior Broad Spectrum CBD, with also has other phytocannabinoids such as CBG and CBN, along with terpenes from the hemp plant, to bring the benefit of CBD (and other beneficial hemp derivatives) to your everyday skin care routine.

How to Build a CBD Skin Care Routine

While we do have a few products for the body, most of our CBD beauty products are for the face. For your face, we recommend a twice-daily routine – every morning and evening – following a sequence like this:

Cleanse Your Face

Start your routine with a facial cleanser of your choice. We recommend:

• Creamy Cleanser – Gentle facial cleanser suitable for all skin types, even sensitive ones. Made with coconut-derived coco glucoside for gentle cleansing, and sunflower oil, and shea butter to protect skin from drying. Sulfate-free. 
• Exfoliating Facial Cleanser – Facial exfoliating cleanser made with sugar extract, which contains alpha hydroxy acids that dissolve dead skin cells, sunflower oil for hydration and tightening pores, and vitamins and antioxidants (lemon, orange, and apple extracts) for the gentle exfoliation that keeps your skin bright and luminous. Use once or twice weekly. 

Nourish with Special CBD Products

These special care products are for use after the cleanser and before the moisturizer. They go in this order:

1. Mask (once or twice weekly)
2. Toner (daily, after cleansing)
3. Facial serums (Daily, after cleansing & toning. Allow this to absorb before applying  facial oils.)
4. Facial oils (Daily, after all, other special care products and followed by      moisturizer. It helps to allow the facial oils some time to absorb before      applying moisturizers.)

Once your face is clean, it’s primed to receive some extra nutrition. We’ve got five special formulas to keep your skin glowing: two masks, a toner, a Facial Serum, and a Facial Oil. 

• Exfoliating Face Mask – A weekly or bi-weekly face mask that exfoliates the skin to keep i  glowing and refreshed. Salicylic acid peels off dead skin, exfoliates, and flushes pores. Fennel oil soothes and hydrates with a refreshing herbal scent. Moroccan rose oil exfoliates while moisturizing.
• Rose Clay Mask – Deeply hydrating face mask for all skin types but especially beneficial for dry skin types. Made with Moroccan red clay (rhassoul) and kaolin      clay. Also contains oils of Moroccan rose, sunflower, argan, coconut,  shea, apricot, and olive for a nourishing and pleasant masking experience.
• Moroccan Rose Moisture Mist – Follow your cleanser with this refreshing toner mist made with Moroccan rose and aloe vera extracts to soothe the skin while also removing oil and dirt. Contains cactus flower extract (rich in linoleic acid) which helps to flush excess oil from pores. Also refreshes your skin with antioxidants from green tea extract.
• Facial Serum – After your mask, apply this indulgent Facial Serum, which contains argan oil and apricot kernel oil for light, non-greasy hydration, hyaluronic acid for natural moisture retention, and algae and sacha inchi extracts to keep skin supple.
• The Everyday Oil – Facial oil is especially beneficial for dry skin. Made with oils of jojoba, sunflower, rosehip, and apricot kernel. Hydrates and promotes a      youthful glow.

Moisturize with a CBD Face Cream

As a last step, you want to seal in all of that good stuff and protect your skin with a moisturizer. We’ve got three that are good for daily facial care:

• Daily Moisturizer – Lightweight daily moisturizer suitable for all skin types. Fortified with sunflower and rosehip seed oils to provide non-greasy hydration, and with algae and sacha inchi extracts to nourish the skin.
