5 Reasons Why Your Skin WANTS to Get High
The correlation between cannabis and beauty is an old tale. Ancient societies used cannabis for a variety of ailments, especially inflammation of skin. Centuries of testaments are not wrong, and today, you can find cannabinoids in some of your most commonly used self care items.
From soaps to mascara’s, the green rush doesn’t seem to let up, especially when it comes to the self care aisle. And while we know that THC as a topical won’t necessarily get you high, there are a number of benefits to slathering cannabinoids on your skin. Here are 5 reasons why you should buy products made for cannabis absorption.
Fat Where You Want It: On Your Face
Hemp seed oil in particular is high in fatty acids! Yes, the good fats. The ones that reduce wrinkles and give your face that supple, young glow. So many products claim to be filled with essential fatty acids, yet you can easily opt for a CBD infused serum or lotion for the same benefits. Make sure you opt for full spectrum options and always make sure you research the source of the CBD you’re using.
The Germ Killer and Radical Reducer
A little known characteristic about THC and CBD is that it has shown antibacterial properties. Not only is it non-comedogenic, but it is also effective in treating bacterial skin infections, like boils. It can even be used as oral treatment for eczema. In fact, bacteria will experience resistance in makeup that includes CBD and other cannabinoids. Still, don’t forget to wash your makeup brushes!

The Canna Gang-Bang You Should Know About
When it comes to cannabinoids, the more the merrier! A fun fact about using cannabis comes from the mythical “entourage effect”. A weird term for the effects we get from the different terpenes and cannabinoids mixed together. As a note, THC usually activates CBD, but you can look out for other cannabinoids too. Like CBC, CBG, and even CBDA. All of these cannabinoids are beneficial when applied as a topical.
Get Your Wrinkles High Enough to Leave!
While I am not one to condone the shaming of wrinkles, we all like a little help here and there. Well good news pothead, CBD is a more potent antioxidant than Vitamin C and E, which makes it a perfect treatment for wrinkles. It also aids the collagen and elasticity in your skin, protecting it from damage. Hemp seed oil, in particular, is a great addition to your anti-aging skin care routine. Just make sure to always research the source of the CBD used.
First Aid Kit’s Should Have Weed in Them
You guys know that cannabis is medicine. It can be used in so many ways, and every few months we find a new benefit and a new cannabinoid. Having cannabis in your medicine closet is as easy as making an infused rubbing alcohol, or keeping CBD balm on hand. A good cbd or hemp seed oil reduces swelling from bug bites and scratches. The benefits are endless!
Think Outside the Cannabis Box
I will tell you what I tell all new cannabis users, it’s all about trial and error. I have experimented with cannabis in smoking, as topicals, edibles, and even as hemp. Don’t be afraid! Try it on your skin, your hair, your lips, your body. Just try it! Don’t limit yourself, CBD face oil has been a game changer in my skin care routine.
