The Benefits of CBD for Skin Care: Should You Use It?

What is CBD? CBD is otherwise known as Cannobidiol and is a chemical derived from the cannabis plant. CBD is non-psychoactive and research shows it is effective for alleviating anxiety, reducing inflammation and pain, and may help prevent cognitive decline. Additionally, CBD has skincare benefits as well. Is CBD a good ingredient for you? Check the list below to see if you need to incorporate it in your skincare routine!

Benefits by Skin Type


Mature Skin

CBD can help mature skin because it contains anti-oxidants to fight against free radicals and signs of aging. CBD can also help aid collagen production. I recommend using Cannuka’s CBD Calming Eye Balm. It can be used both as an eye balm for your daily skincare routine and as a primer.

Acne Prone Skin


CBD can help reduce the oil production on the skin. It can also help repair scar tissue from previous breakouts. I recommend using Truly Beauty’s Hemp Acne Patches. These heal and reduce breakouts.

Sensitive Skin


The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD can help reduce irritation and heal scarring. It can help aid inflammation with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Check ingredients for botanicals in CBD products before purchasing, this may cause a bad reaction from the products.
