CBD applied to cosmetics

The human body naturally produces cannabinoids (read here), which are called endocannabinoids. CBD or Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive ingredient extracted from cannabis flowers, which has beneficial properties for the skin, thanks to its antioxidant, regenerative and sebum-regulating characteristics. This molecule is a phytocannabinoid, that is, while coming from the outside, it interacts with the human endocannabinoid system, helping the body to maintain its balance and prevent disease. CBD is characterized by dermocosmetic properties as it interacts with healthy cells and also with damaged cells of the epidermal tissue, preventing the onset of skin diseases. Organic cosmetics with CBD are not only applicable for the beauty of the skin, but also for the prevention of annoying ailments to which the skin is subject. CBD is a natural antioxidant and one of the factors that cause skin aging and deterioration is the oxidizing action of the so-called free radicals. CBD is used to counteract its action and, moreover, acts as a protective film against the erosion of atmospheric agents that acts on the skin. The characteristics of CBD applied to cosmetics are:

• the anti-aging function: therefore it acts on the skin in order to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and reduce bags and dark circles. Furthermore, unlike other oils, the face cream does not grease the skin and can be used as a make-up base.
  Elasticizing, moisturizing and emollient characteristics: therefore these properties are enhanced when the use of the product is prolonged for a sufficient period of time. In cases where the skin is particularly dry and dehydrated, including that of the hands and feet, CBD oil is more appropriate than simple cannabis seed oil.
  It works by strengthening the nails and smoothing the cuticles. It can also be used as a conditioner on the scalp becoming a routine for nourished and hydrated hair.
  CBD oil can be used in massages thanks to its energizing, but also calming and stimulating properties on the integumentary system. CBD products reach the three main receptors of the skin: painful, tactical, dermal.
  Finally, it is a sebum-regulator: people with oily skin often also suffer from irritation and redness. CBD inhibits sebocytes that produce excess sebum, counteracts the inflammatory response of the epidermis and regenerates damaged cells.

In the case of acne, CBD is extremely useful both for its sebum-regulating properties and for its antibacterial properties, with which it prevents the proliferation of microorganisms that cause the typical skin rashes. In these cases, however, a consultation with a dermatologist is recommended. CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory useful in the treatment of cases of psoriasis: this skin disease is characterized by the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and according to recent studies, CBD slows down its proliferation by blocking interleukin and thus inhibiting those pathological processes that lead to the formation of psoriatic plaques.
