4 skin problems that you can solve with CBD (and select herbs)

CBD oil is a natural active ingredient derived from the Cannabis sativa industrial cannabis species. CBD cannabinoid has so many positive effects on the human body, we often joke that every person has at least one ailment CBD oil could help with. CBD is used to relieve insomnia and chronic pain, and to help relieve autoimmune diseases, anxiety and depression. It is also popular as a natural remedy against insomnia and as an additional boost for the immune system. Lately, the use of CBD oil for the skin has also been gaining a lot of attention. Because the skin has its own endocannabinoid system to which the CBD cannabinoid binds, it is effective in a wide range of skin problems. What skin problems does CBD work on best?

CBD and psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease where skin cells grow and divide at an accelerated rate. Eczema start appearing on the skin as a result of this division and they are usually red with a silver outline but can also be pink or brown in colour. Psoriasis is a disease that doesn’t have a cure yet, but various therapies do exist to mitigate its symptoms. A lot can be done to alleviate the symptoms by adjusting your lifestyle, maintaining a balanced diet and with moderate exposure to the sun. CBD cannabinoid is also becoming an increasingly popular natural remedy for psoriasis outbreaks and several studies have shown the effect it has on decelerating skin cell division. CBD cannabinoid also has anti-inflammatory properties which additionally soothe psoriasis conditions.

Acne and skin impurities – CBD’s double effect

Acne and skin impurities are not exclusive to teenagers, they often occur in adulthood as well. Most commonly the causes of adult acne are hormonal imbalances, stress, an unhealthy diet and improper skin care. Their formation is caused by an increased secretion of sebum (tallow) and the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. Sebum normally plays an important role in skin protection, but when the skin produces too much of it, it can also cause unwanted acne. Our fight against acne can take place on multiple levels - with a healthy diet, regular cleansing of dead skin cells, avoiding stress and regular physical activity. Of course, proper skin care that balances the skin and brings it to a healthy and radiant state is crucial. And CBD cannabinoid is undoubtedly an active ingredient which, when it comes to acne skin care, is very promising. Why is CBD a great ally in the fight against acne?

1. CBD reduces the formation of sebum in sebaceous tissues
Clinical studies have shown that the CBD molecule reduces the formation of sebum in the sebaceous glands, which is highly desired in acne-prone skin care, as the formation of sebum is the most common culprit of acne.

2. CBD has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
CBD carries out complex anti-inflammatory and antibacterial actions demonstrated also in many other experimental studies on diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Red acne (not blackheads) are the result of inflammatory skin changes that CBD cannabinoid can successfully calm down.

CBD cannabinoid and atopic dermatitis

Dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease that most commonly occurs in children. About 10% of children under the age of 6 are affected. Dermatitis is more common in cold months and is characterized by red, itchy rashes. If you visit your doctor with a case of dermatitis, they will almost always prescribe treatment with corticosteroid creams. Such creams are effective in relieving the symptoms, but unfortunately, they also have a lot of negative side effects on the skin and body. Often, when the treatment with corticosteroids is completed, the original problem returns.
CBD cannabinoid has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and body. Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory disease, so CBD has a positive effect on it.

CBD is all the more effective because our skin has its own endocannabinoid system onto which CBD can bind itself directly when it’s in the form of an ointment. This way it has a quick and targeted effect on the problem, calming the skin and restoring its balance. CBD also soothes itchiness and redness, two of the more prominent problems of atopic dermatitis.

CBD oil is also effective with seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a fairly common chronic inflammatory skin disease that most often affects the face and scalp area. It appears in the form of red, scaly skin on the scalp and around the hairline, often manifesting itself behind the ears and in the skin folds (elbows, knees, under the breasts). The main cause is the increased production of sebum in the sebaceous glands. CBD is a great ally in the care of seborrheic dermatitis. Why?

1. CBD slows the secretion of sebum

The most common cause of seborrheic dermatitis is the excessive secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands. Because CBD has been proven to reduce sebum secretion, it is effective in the fight against seborrheic dermatitis. Because of this, it is also effective in treating acne and impure skin.

2. CBD slows down cell proliferation on the skin

The rapid reproduction of skin cells caused by the Malassezia fungus is another important factor in the onset of seborrheic dermatitis. Clinical studies have proven that the CBD molecule reduces sebum secretion from the sebaceous glands and inhibits the rapid reproduction of sebocytes, the cells that make up sebaceous glands and affect the onset of seborrheic dermatitis.
Why is CBD cannabinoid so effective when dealing with skin conditions?

CBD cannabinoid binds to the endocannabinoid system in our body. It contains phytocannabinoids, which are cannabinoid molecules very similar to the endocannabinoids our body contains naturally. Endocannabinoids coordinate the functions of our whole organism, helping the body when it is sick or under stress. It could be said that the endocannabinoid system is the conductor of our body, ensuring that our bodies stay in tune and work harmoniously. CBD cannabinoid is so effective in fighting skin problems because our skin has its own endocannabinoid system. This system ensures that our skin is healthy and balanced. Ointments containing CBD cannabinoid bind directly to the endocannabinoid system in the skin, helping the skin find its balance quickly and effectively.
