When it comes to CBD, a term that is important to understand is bioavailability, which the American Heritage Medical Dictionary defines as the degree to which a drug or other substance is absorbed or becomes available at the site of physiological activity after administration. But what does that mean, and why does it matter when it comes to CBD?

Think about the bioavailability of CBD as the degree and rate it is absorbed into the bloodstream. In other words, the way CBD is consumed influences its uptake and distribution throughout the body. This is important for consumers to understand when shopping for CBD in order to figure out which products suit them best.

There are a variety of ways to take CBD. It can be inhaled, eaten, applied topically to the skin or held under the tongue and then swallowed. However, the body absorbs CBD in different ways, so how it is consumed matters. The method chosen influences how long it takes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and how much CBD is available to be absorbed.

Edible treats such as gummies and baked goods are a popular way to consume CBD. In multiple studies, the most optimistic rate of bioavailability when choosing this option was about 20%. That means if someone eats a 50-milligram CBD gummy, they would likely be absorbing only about 10 milligrams20% of the total dosage. Though not the most efficient way of consuming CBD, edibles are very popular and still have their benefits. They are a fun and easy way to add CBD to a daily routine. However, it is helpful to understand that some of the CBD is going to break down when passing through the digestive system, and it will take longer to reach the bloodstream to circulate throughout the body.

CBD oil tinctures are another common way to take CBD. With this method, CBD is administered sublingually, which means holding it under the tongue for a minute before swallowing. Sublingual dosing with an oil improves the bioavailability of CBD, because the glands under the tongue absorb the CBD and have a direct pathway to the bloodstream. Bypassing the digestive system allows the CBD molecules to reach the bloodstream quickly, without being metabolized by the stomach and liver first.

Inhaling CBD has a very effective bioavailability rate. CBD vape products and pre-rolled hemp flower joints are becoming widespread in the convenience market. They are popular and preferred by many because of how rapidly they work. When CBD is inhaled, the lungs absorb the compound immediately. Once CBD passes through the lungs, it quickly enters the bloodstream and circulates through the body. While inhaling CBD is a fast and effective method, it is not for everyone. Some consumers consider CBD to be a part of their wellness routine and worry about the potential adverse health effects of vaping CBD oil or smoking hemp flower.

Understanding the bioavailability of CBD allows consumers to decide what is important to them in a product. If they want a fun and easy way to take CBD, then CBD gummies or chocolates are ideal. If speed and cost-effectiveness are paramount, then a sublingual oil tincture or vape product may be best. This knowledge also helps retailers understand why offering a variety of forms of CBD is important for meeting customer demand in their stores.

Analysis on New Product Launches in Covid-19 Related Markets-CBD Oil Market 2020-2024 | Health Benefits of CBD Oil To Boost Growth | Technavio -...

At Real Tested CBD, we have numerous CBD products listed (with published test results from and independent lab) from a large number of different CBD manufacturers. We are adding new brands and products on a weekly basis, so make sure to check our best CBD products page frequently. This week, were reviewing the CBD brand Endoca.

Endoca is a retailer of CBD oils, CBD tinctures, full spectrum CBD products, and CBD capsules. They even have a CBD edible that takes the form of chewing gum. So far, all of the products that we have tested from Endoca have had very positive test results. All of Endocas CBD products have passed pesticide testing, and residual solvent testing. Below, we review some of the highest rated Endoca CBD products that we have tested so far.

Endoca Hemp Whipped Body Butter

The obvious first choice in the best Endoca CBD products that we have tested is their Hemp Whipped Body Butter. This CBD cream has without a doubt the highest concentration of all major cannabinoids that we test for. This CBD cream contains a whopping 153 mg of d9-THC, tests above the label claim for CBD by over 150 mg, and contains significant amounts of the rare cannabinoids that we look for. Endoca Hemp Whipped Body Butter contains 26 mg of CBN, 78 mg of CBC, and 12 mg of CBGwe highly recommend this product.

Endoca CBD Chewing Gum 150 mg

The next product from Endoca CBD that we are reviewing was not chosen for its extraordinarily high CBD/cannabinoid content, but rather due to the consumption method. Endoca CBD Chewing Gum 150 mg did, however, test very well. It passed both solvent & pesticide tests, contained over 50 mg more CBD than the label claimed, and its gum. How much easier does it get than that to receive a daily intake of CBD? We will warn youthis product is a full-spectrum CBD product, and tastes as such.

Endoca Raw CBD Oil 30 mg

The last product that we have chosen to review is Endoca Raw CBD Oil 30 mg. This CBD oil made this list, like many of Endocas products, because it contains all of the rare cannabinoids that we test for (CBD, CBN, CBG, THC, & CBC). Although, when we tested this product, it actually contained slightly less CBD than the label advertises, this product is highly recommended by Real Tested CBD, because of the other cannabinoids in it. This CBD oil from Endoca contains 256 mg of CBD, 14 mg of d9-THC, 4 mg of CBN, 8 mg of CBC, and 7 mg of CBG. We have found that it is rare for a CBD oil (being that there is such an abundance of different brands/products on the market) to contain all of these cannabinoids, and to cost less than $50.

The cannabis business, while populated largely by serious, well-intentioned people, has more than its share of crazies and mercenaries. Go take a look at just about any Internet forum devoted to cannabis, and you will find people trading in all kinds of conspiracy theories and making all kinds of wild claims both for and against cannabis.

Predictably, given the current state of civilization, some cannabis advocates and peddlers of elixirs now declare that their products can alleviate the symptoms of COVID-19or even cure it.

No one is as critical of the quacks than the marketers of legitimate products sold for legitimate uses and advocates of sensible, safe marijuana public policy. The Washington Post earlier this month published an op-ed written by Baltimore history teacher David A. Guba Jr. headlined: No, cannabis is not a miracle cure for COVID-19.

Its disheartening that such a message needs to be delivered to a mass audience, but the fact is that there is so much chicanery in the cannabis business that its now joining with essential oils and other quack cures as major presence in multi-level marketing schemes and in online marketing schemes like email spam and Facebook ads. Thats bad not only because people are getting ripped off and misled, possibly in dangerous ways, but also because CBD and some essential oils are also legit products with valid uses.

Peter Jonathan Hanna has more than 8,000 followers on Twitter. In his pinned tweet, he declares that Cannabis cures all diseases and that it is the most powerful medicine in history. Perhaps hes never heard of penicillin or perhaps he thinks it was a fake cure invented by the wicked masterminds of the pharmaceutical industry.

On March 31, Hanna, who is selling a book full of his thoughts about cannabis, proudly pointed to a High Times article that mentioned the Coronavirus cannabis prepper kit he was promoting on YouTube. The kit includes weed, food and a semi-automatic rifle.

The same day, Hanna tweeted: My family and I have the coronavirus. In a subsequent tweet on March 16, he said he was 99 percent sure they had the virus, and he posted a video on YouTube where he asked viewers to weigh in on the question. He hasnt mentioned it since, at least on Twitter, and he didnt respond to a message seeking comment.

If somebody with 8,000 followers can be said to be fringe, the same cant be said of former NFL player Kyle Turley, who has more than 48,000. Turley played offensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints, the Kansas City Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams until 2007. He began using medical cannabis to address lingering pain from game injuries and to combat bouts of depression and rage, as the Los Angeles Times put it.

In mid-March, just as it became clear the pandemic would be severe, Turley started promoting a CBD product online. @NeuroXPF CANNABINOIDS CAN HELP BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND WIN THE WAR AGAINST #COVID19 ask @ drsanjaygupta, he tweeted on March 19, pasting in an ad promising that the CBD oil would Boost Your Immune System and Crush Corona.

Turley is or was an owner of NeuroXPF, the company that makes the oil. He also is or was an owner of a cannabis dispensary in Moreno Valley, in Riverside County. After getting a warning letter from the Federal Trade Commission, which has taken a hard line on companies selling supposed COVID remedies, he claimed he had relinquished his stakes in those businesses, which has not been independently confirmed. He said selling off his ownership has freed him to speak as a private citizen.

And speak, or rather yell, he has. CANNABIS WILL PREVENT & CURE COVID19!!!!!!!..commence the hate, he tweeted on March 29. There is some research indicating that CBD and other cannabinoids can have calming effects, but much remains unknown about how that might work, whether it works similarly for everyone and whether its effective for every kind of emotional or behavioral malady.

Meanwhile, while its possible that some cannabis components might be antiviral agents, there is nothing like proof of it, much less any evidence that anything in the plant might be effective against COVID-19, a virus that is only months old. Nonetheless, the people making these claims point to this preliminary research as proof that cannabis will cure the virus.

Turley was still going strong this week. After having name-dropped Dr. Sanjay Gupta, one of the few TV-famous doctors who offer sound medical advice, Turley started yelling at him in all- caps, too, for not pushing cannabis as a treatment or cure for COVID-19. Gupta has in recent years become a careful advocate of medical cannabis, promoting it as a palliative for things like pain and seizure disorders only when theres evidence for the claims.

There are many, many more examples of people with large followings promoting pot as a cure for the virus. Filmmaker and outspoken Hindu nationalist Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri tweeted that Cannabis is a magic plant. The tweet was accompanied by a picture of what looked like a still from a news show reporting that Weed Kills Corona Virus. When it was pointed out to that the picture was a fake created on a meme site, he refused to back down. Agnihotri has 313,000 Twitter followers.

There is absolutely no proof or substantiated science indicating that somehow either cannabis or hemp cure or mitigate COVID-19, pot lawyer Hilary Bricken wrote on her firms blog. Businesses and consumers need to be on the lookout for snake-oil cures and/ or curative claims being shamelessly pedaled across the cannabis and hemp industries during this volatile time.

Prohibitionists are making crazy claims as well. When the Drug Policy Alliance promoted an online festival, the proceeds of which would be directed to COVID-19 relief, Kevin Sabet, founder and president of the anti- cannabis group tweeted: Were trying to stop people dying, and youre encouraging behavior that makes COVID-19 worse.

Asked by multiple people how an online festival could make the virus worse, Sabet asked whether the event was going to have anyone online using drugs and whether it would have messages promoting drug use.

The people making this claim have more of a leg to stand on than do the cure-promoting quacks, but just a bit. Many doctors warn that smoking or vaping could make COVID symptoms worse and make it harder for the lungs to fight off the disease, although new research from France shows that a strikingly low number of smokers have gotten sick from the virus.

In any case, the legit cannabis industry as a whole, including the Drug Policy Alliance, has repeatedly warned about the potential risks from smoking, and also warned pot users not to share smoking or vaping devices. Most have suggested using edibles until the pandemic has passed.

Dispelling the Myth That Cannabis Can Cure COVID-19 - Good Times Weekly

Make Thanksgiving extra special this year by serving the most delightful dishes infused with CBD oil. The added ingredient will enhance meals, making the food experience a bliss. Because cannabis heightens the sensory receptors, everything tastes better with a hint of umami.

If you worry about the side effects, note that with an adequate amount of cannabidiol oil, everything will turn out great. You can serve Turkey with CBD oil for added buttery taste minus the greasiness. Desserts can also have this exciting ingredient for sweet and flavorful cakes, cupcakes, or chocolates.

Aside from the cannabis oil, you also need cannabutter for making desserts and adding texture and flavor to the turkey. Cannabutter can be homemade, and some dispensaries have this specialty butter. Its only difference with the normal butter is that added cannabis oil.

For homemade cannabutter recipe, you can mix 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of ground, decarboxylated cannabis, about 10 grams. Slow cook the mixture for two to three hours then cool off before using.

Dosing is a crucial factor when cooking with cannabidiol oil. Applying a few drops into the recipe is already enough. Overdosing can only happen if you will put more oil into the recipe. Remember, if you plan to put CBD to entre, appetizers, and desserts, you need to balance out the dosing to avoid side effects like lightheadedness, dry mouth, and change in appetite.

The best thing to do is to take it easy on the oil, distribute it to other meals and you are good to go. Additionally, you need to find a good CBD productsupplier to get the desired results.

The main entre of the day is none other than Turkey. Make sure to buy a huge one to serve more batches during Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat oven and mix together cannabutter, chopped herbs, season with salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

2. Prepare and stuff the turkey. Fill in the neck cavity but avoid overstuffing. Tie two legs using cotton kitchen twine then bend wings underneath the bird. Position the turkey breast side down.

3. Rub cannabutter mixture into the skin and the rack before generously seasoning the turkey with salt and pepper. Roast for one hour then baste every 30 minutes.

4. Transfer turkey into the serving platter then let it cool for ten minutes.

5. Serve with gravy.

Instead of mashed potato, you can serve the turkey with mac n cheese on the side. This recipe is easy to make and you only need a fresh lobster to make it special.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Bring macaroni to boil then add half a teaspoon CBD oil. Drain well after five to eight minutes, until cooked.

3. Heat the milk then add remaining CBD oil, flour. Mix until it thickened.

4. Off the heat, add the cheddar cheese, pinch of salt, pepper then stir well.

5. Add the cooked macaroni and lobster. Stir evenly and place in gratin dishes.

6. Melt butter and cheese with bread crumbs then bake for 35 minutes.

7. Cool then serve.

To cap off the lunch or dinner, serve a chocolate bar embedded with pistachio nuts. It is a quick bite and definitely delicious with a drizzle of salt.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Mix CBD oil and butter in a low heat pan then set aside.

2. Whisk in coconut flour and cocoa powder. Freeze for 10 minutes.

3. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with pistachio bits. Place back into the freezer for about 20 minutes.

4. Break apart and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Celebrating Thanksgiving doesnt need to be bland and dull because you can always serve new recipes for everyone. This year, surprise family and friends with these tasty meals.

Top 3 CBD Recipes to Try Over the Weekend - Plants Before Pills

Whats become your lockdown coping mechanism? A fast and furious exercise regime? A daily dose of meditation? Or perhaps youve turned to CBD? One of the wellness industrys newest wonder ingredients, CBD tends to provoke mixed opinions. For some, its the holy grail of anxiety solutions. Others question whether it does anything at all; and some mistakenly think it might get them high. Divisive it may be, but CBD brands have recorded huge spikes in sales during the lockdown period. Premium brand Trip is a case in point, having witnessed a 420 per cent increase in sales since strict social distancing was introduced a figure that continues to rise daily.

What can one ingredient actually do to help ease the pressure on the collective mental health of a nation? CBD works on a lot of levels in the body, says scientific advisor to The Drug Store Julie Moltke, whose book A Quick Guide To CBD is out in June. It interacts with and balances out the endocannabinoid system, as well as the serotonin system, which are involved in anxiety and depression. Studies have shown that CBD can help to reduce anxiety, as well as aid those with disorders like PTSD, OCD and SAD. A study conducted by Moltke herself found that, of those who take CBD, at least a third use it for stress and anxiety, and 75 per cent of those report that it reduces stress, she says. The majority of people use it for anxiety relief, says Olivia Ferdi, co-founder of Trip. But it can also be used for inflammation, pain relief, endometriosis and its even been medically proven to help the symptoms of epilepsy.

It slows down the mental overload that comes with anxiety and stress, conditions in which thought patterns can become repetitive. CBD helps create a bit more space in the mind, says Moltke, who likens our thoughts to a whirling glass of muddy water. Taking CBD helps it to settle, she says. When your thoughts (or the mud) come back down to the bottom of the glass, everything becomes more clear. Put simply, it regulates some of our innate systems in the body, creating more space and calming the mind.

Sounds like the perfect remedy for our fraught minds right now. In fact, in one survey, 39 per cent of consumers asked said they would be using more CBD as a result of the pandemic, and the figure rose to 49 per cent among millennials and Gen-Zers. Since Coronavirus hit were under way more stress, so CBD has become so much more relevant, says Ferdi. Anxiety has shape-shifted, and the way we look after ourselves our self-care rituals have come into question. Plant-based, preventative remedies taking as good care of yourself as is possible to fend off illness have become the new approach to our health.

Ferdi, who previously worked as a lawyer in the City, started Trip in 2018 after her now husband underwent knee surgery a few weeks before their wedding. He used CBD daily to minimise pain and inflammation, and made a miraculous recovery not just nailing the couples walk back up the aisle but also dancing all weekend, without crutches. The brand, which kicked off with a line of very tasty CBD-infused drinks, has been stocking an array of celebrity fans (Ellie Goulding included) fridges with its healthy, low calorie drinks, which are brilliant for easy CBD ingestion.

They taste good, too. Hemp [where CBD is extracted from] is very earthy and bitter, so the idea behind the drinks was to create something on-the-go, that was more understandable to a consumer and easy to enjoy, says Ferdi. We blended it with the adaptogen camomile [a herb thats said to alleviate stress], and natural botanical extracts that have good properties for stress in our bodies. Its CBD oils that have perhaps made the biggest market impact, however, and following a surge in demand in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak, she and her team have accelerated the launch of Trips new oil, which is available on its website now and from Selfridges next week.

Despite having broken through in health and beauty circles, Ferdi maintains that, for some, CBD still doesnt feel approachable, something she attributes to the fact brands like hers are banned from using sponsored advertising. Everything from Google ads to Instagram advertising are all blocked, because theyre owned by American companies who, in some states, have banned CBD. You have to rely on the product itself to do the talking for you, as an absence of marketing means people often dont feel they have enough information to buy into the product, points out Ferdi. With something that is both closely linked to, and sounds like, cannabis, categorised as a class B drug in the UK, communicating your message can be tough.

Brands are doing what they can to change the perception of CBD. Trips new oil tinctures dont come in khaki packaging decorated with illustrated marijuana leaves, for example, but chic, millennial-friendly pastel droppers. With blends of wild mint and orange blossom (and camomile to help ease stress), the earthy taste is a thing of the past, too. Its a similar story at Lady A, another brand that acknowledges how confusing the CBD market can be, and seeks to offer a sleek take on the products available everything from a Morning Tincture to supplements in minimalist packaging. CBII has gone down the traditional brown bottle route, but made it an apothecary-style experience its new CBD capsules contain 5mg of CBD and make incorporating it into your routine as easy as taking a daily multivitamin. Kloris, too, is an excellent choice for those wanting to get started on their CBD journey.

And to the sceptics? Id say give it a go, see how you feel. If you dont feel much, think about upping your dosage there is no right or wrong way of trying this thing, but its potential benefits for lots of different people are super exciting, says Ferdi. And if it wasnt working? The press would stop talking about it.

Surely Youve Tried CBD By Now? - British Vogue

SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Marijuana, Inc.(OTC: MJNA) (the "Company"), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company inthe United Statesthat launched the world's first-ever cannabis-derived nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, announced today that it has named Caroline Heinz and Raul Elizalde co-CEOs of its subsidiary HempMeds.

"It's been a humbling experience to see the drive and dedication that both of these professionals have showcased over the years," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. "We saw our Latin American sales explode during 2018 and 2019, especially in Brazil and Mexico. We are optimistic about how Raul and Caroline are adding their leadership to the global HempMeds brand."

Caroline Heinz, formerly the Vice President of HempMeds Brasil, joined the Company in 2014 when Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) approved the import of HempMeds' Real Scientific Hemp Oilas the first-ever legally imported hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) product. With the help of numerous families using CBD, Heinz helped pass legislation to get the Brazilian government to subsidize CBD for several indications. She was also able to grow the Company's sales in Brazil, successfully established two HempMeds Brasil offices, created a network of Brazilian doctors and medical professionals, and has partnered with research organizations to study the Company's CBD oil for safety and efficacy.

Raul Elizalde, formerly the President of HempMeds Mexico and Latin American operations, joined the Company in June 2017. He was an active medical cannabis advocate prior to joining the Company because of his fight to gain access to CBD hemp oil for his daughter Grace. Elizalde's fight led to the legalization of medical cannabis in Mexico and, since joining the company, he has significantly grown HempMeds' presence and sales throughout Latin America, especially in Mexico. In Nov. 2017, Elizalde was invited to speak to the World Health Organization at the Expert Committee on Drug Dependence Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

"Medical Marijuana, Inc. is my family and I am very proud to be asked to step into this new role with such a smart and talented professional like Caroline," said Elizalde. "In my new role, I aim to utilize the successful strategies I used to grow HempMeds' sales in Latin America and apply them to the U.S. market. We will continue to build a brand that consumers can trust."

In their new roles, Heinz and Elizalde will continue to lead daily operations for HempMeds in Latin America, but will also oversee all marketing, sales and operations for HempMeds in the U.S. and globally. The Company currently ships its products across the U.S. in all states where it is legal and in 40 other countries around the world. As Elizalde waits to be granted his work visa in the U.S., Heinz will oversee CEO duties from the Company's headquarters in San Diego.

"Growth happens when we stretch ourselves in new directions," said Heinz. "Working with HempMeds for half a decade now has taught me so much about myself and about the tremendous need the world has for CBD. Raul and I already make such a great team and we believe that we will be able to take our U.S. operations to the next level."

In addition to these exciting announcements, HempMeds President Todd Morrow was promoted to become Chief Information Officer for Medical Marijuana, Inc. In his new role, Morrow will work with the Company's executive team to lead strategic decision making, cross-collaboration and planning to raise revenue and drive greater profitability within the organization's family of companies.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. Names Caroline Heinz and Raul Elizalde Co-CEOs of Subsidiary HempMeds, Appoints Todd Morrow to Chief Information Officer -...

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - Snake River Solace has been in business since 2018. The company used to have a separate building in Idaho Falls for their production facility.

Recently, in an effort to be more transparent with their customers, they decided to join both their production facility and their retail store together under one roof. This created the first hemp CBD production and retail facility in Idaho.

"CBD is the isolated molecule of industrial hemp. A lot of people have it confused because it comes from the cannabis plant, you know, but it's actually the cannabis plant is a cousin of hemp. So we just extract that individual molecule, out of there, and then that's the CBD," said sales associate Robert Chamberlin.

Snake River Solace takes pride in producing CBD products with ingredients sourced from Idaho. Chamberlin tells us the only outsourcing they do is the CBD isolate that has to be federally regulated and the coconut oil.

"We just want to help the economy here for our state rather than outsourcing it for other states," Chamberlin said.

Chamberlin along with his boss Cody, produce the CBD oil in a lab that can be viewed through a window in the retail store.

"We tried to strive for a quality product for our customers, and so we put in the new production facility that way people know that they were getting quality product, and they know what's in it is what we say is in it," Chamberlin said.

Getting ingredients locally helps the company offer lower prices than their competition. Chamberlin says they try to keep their prices at least fifty percent lower than the national average.

He says their products are used for medicinal purposes.

"So they can treat for anything from pain inflammation, clear up to a seizure conditions, and nausea, everything in between really helps with a very broad spectrum of different things."

In the future, Chamberlin says they hope more hemp CBD companies in Idaho choose to source their ingredients locally, to continue to help the economy.

With the CBD oil that they make in the facility, they are able to create different products in a variety of flavors.

Chamberlin says the natural medicine doesn't work for everyone and that some people are more receptive to it than others.

In the past couple of years, weve 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 wont get you high or alter your state of mind, even if its smoked or ingested. But smoking or eating CBD products arent 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. Its 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 youre 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 thats 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 youre 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 thats 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 youll notice the results almost immediately.

CBD Body Lotion

If you dont 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.
