CBD cosmetics have become more popular over the past year, so they deserve a closer look.

Unveiling the Potential of CBD Cosmetics: From Pain Relief to Hydration

With the rise in popularity of Cannabidiol (CBD) in the wellness industry, a new trend has emerged: CBD-infused cosmetics. These products, including creams, gels, and oils, provide targeted pain relief and enhanced skincare benefits, making them a welcomed addition to the beauty and wellness market.

CBD Cosmetics for Pain Relief

The most renowned CBD cosmetic products are anti-inflammatory creams, particularly beneficial for muscle pain. Typically formulated with high concentrations of CBD, these creams often come with a passive heating or cooling effect, aiding in muscle relaxation and facilitating optimal absorption of the active ingredients. Products such as CBD-infused 'tiger balm' are perfect examples, offering a warming sensation upon application that aids in muscle relaxation.

The Evolution of CBD Cosmetics

As the popularity of CBD continues to grow, a range of new products have emerged, including face creams, eye contour creams, hand creams, and body lotions. These products leverage CBD's ultra-hydrating properties to offer rapid skin absorption, anti-aging effects, and relief from joint pain, cramps, and inflammation. Unlike ingestible CBD oils, CBD-infused creams offer targeted relief, making them an ideal recovery tool for athletes.

Consistency is Key

Just like with ingestible CBD oils, achieving noticeable effects with CBD-infused face creams and body lotions requires consistent usage. These creams can be applied in the morning after a shower or in the evening before bed. Hand creams, on the other hand, can be applied several times throughout the day to keep hands hydrated and stress-free.

Personal Experience

As someone who suffers from psoriasis on the hands, face, and elbows, I previously relied heavily on pharmaceutical hydrocortisone creams. However, these creams can damage the skin and lead to cortisone dependence with prolonged use. Switching to CBD face, hand, and body creams has not only allowed me to manage my psoriasis effectively but also reduce my use of cortisone creams during acute outbreaks, using CBD-infused products for everyday skincare instead.
