In the past couple of years, we’ve seen an ever-rising interest in all things CBD. As a hemp-derived product, it offers all the benefits of marijuana without any of the side-effects. It won’t get you “high” or alter your state of mind, even if it’s smoked or ingested. But smoking or eating CBD products aren’t your only options. 

With many reliable sellers with a strong presence on the online market, the global market for CBD cosmetics and skincare is growing exponentially. It’s expected that this market will be worth over $3,484.00 million by 2026. So, if you want to invest in alternative CBD products, give cosmetics a try. 

If you’re not sure where to start with CBD skincare, here are the top 5 products that you may want to consider including in your daily beauty routine. 

CBD Lip Balm 

As any high-quality lip product, CBD lip balm will help keep your lips looking shiny and smooth, but that’s not all that it does. CBD contains vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as many other minerals and nutrients that promote better skin health. 

A CBD lip balm will help you keep your chapped lips healthy, prevent flakiness, and will provide the necessary hydration. A variety of different factors can cause dry and flaky lips. Extremely hot or frigid temperatures can damage the sensitive skin on your lips. UV radiation can be harmful to the lips, along with a vitamin deficiency, dehydration, and even certain medicines can cause your lips to crack. 

Whatever the cause, CBD lip balm can moisturize and nourish your lips. As a small and affordable beauty product, it can be a great choice for your first ever CBD skin care option. 

CBD Anti-Aging Moisturizer 

If you’re looking for a better anti-age skincare product that eliminates wrinkles and keeps you looking bright and smooth, consider a CBD anti-aging moisturizer. CBD is known as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidizing agent, and all of these properties combined make it a perfect anti-age product. 

It helps to rejuvenate the skin, nourish, and moisturizes it, to help prevent the formation of new wrinkles, promoting better skin health and elasticity. Applying a small amount of CBD anti-aging moisturizer in the morning and evening may help to keep you looking and feeling young. 

CBD Salve 

If you have psoriasis or eczema, you know how uncomfortable these skin conditions are and how much they can affect your quality of life and overall well-being. Psoriasis leads to scaly, itchy, and often painful bumps on the skin and eczema can lead to severe irritations and inflammation. Both of these conditions are difficult to deal with and live with, and the topical treatments commonly prescribed rarely bring much relief. 

However, CBD salves can be very beneficial and offer long-lasting results. CBD salves can be an excellent moisturizer and pain-reliever for some that’s often combined with other essential oils to boost these effects to help soothe irritated skin. 

Studies have shown that CBD can help treat psoriasis and alleviate the symptoms of eczema. It can be used on chapped and irritated skin, and you’ll notice the results almost immediately. 

CBD Body Lotion 

If you don’t have skin problems but would just like to hydrate and nourish your skin, you may want to consider exchanging your regular body lotion for a CBD infused one. CBD body lotion helps to promote skin elasticity, and can even help alleviate pain and muscle soreness for some. Applying it right after the shower will keep your skin smooth. For the best effect, you can also use it instead of your regular massage oil for maximum benefits. 

If you have muscle soreness or feel pain in your neck and back, CBD body lotion can help you relieve some of that pain. CBD is known for its analgesic properties, and it can be even more effective when combined with a soothing massage.

CBD Acne Serum 

Fighting acne can become much easier with CBD for some. This hemp-derived product has anti-inflammatory properties, is packed with antioxidants, and helps to prevent excessive formation of sebum.

While sebum can help protect your skin from outside influences and environmental pollutants, if your skin produces too much of it, it can lead to acne. Excessive amounts of sebum on your face will allow it to mix with dirt, dead skin cells, and pollutants, and this mixture will clog up your pores, creating acne. 

CBD acne serum with its antibacterial properties will help bring more balance to your skin, keeping it clean, fresh, and without acne. 

The Bottom Line 

There is a wide variety of CBD skin care products available for use, whichever type of product you choose, they can deliver excellent results. You can even make home-made CBD skin care products by mixing a small amount of CBD oil with coconut oil, aloe vera, argan oil, or others by following a recipe from a trusted certified and licensed natural health practitioner. 

Before using any alternative medicine products it is advised to consult with your physician or certified medical professional to avoid any possible reactions, and always conduct a small spot test to check for reactions before use.
