CBD Facemasks: Five Reasons To Try For A Healthy Skin
Facemasks are an efficient way to soothe your skin and relax. They offer a spa-like experience in the comfort of your home. Many facemasks are containing natural ingredients that rejuvenate skin and help you achieve a radiant glow. However, the newest natural ingredient found in many skin care products is CBD. Cannabidiol (CBD) products and supplements may offer astonishing health benefits like pain relief, anti-aging, etc. Cannabis is known for its soothing effects, and since CBD is one of the constituents present in cannabis plants, it also helps in doing so. The best part about CBD is that it offers health benefits without causing any high among the users.
CBD is available in all products ranging from CBD vape juice to CBD lotions, cbd Creams and lip balms. Face masks are no exception when it comes to CBD infusion. So here are five reasons why you must try CBD facemasks.
- Acne
The first and foremost benefit of using CBD facemasks is that it may help treat acne. Acne is one skin condition prevalent in many people. Usually, people associate acne with only hormonal changes and assume that it is only prevalent in the teenage years. That’s not true. Excess oil production in the skin cells also causes acne. When the skin produces extra oil known as sebum, it remains in the pores. That excess oil accompanies sweat, dead skin cells, and dirt, causing bacteria build-up. Ultimately it results in skin breakouts. CBD may help regulate the sebum levels in the skin and also prevent any bacteria build-up. Having proper sebum levels will alleviate and prevent acne. Therefore, using a CBD facemask may help eliminate acne and achieve healthy skin.
- Inflammation
Here’s another reason why you should use CBD facemasks, especially if you experience skin inflammation. CBD holds strong anti-inflammatory properties and may help in reducing inflammation caused on the skin. Inflammations cause severe discomfort and pain. Animal studies have proven that CBD helped lower pain and inflammation. GLA, an essential omega 6 fatty acid present in CBD, helps in blocking inflammation-messenger activity. The acid also helps in the healing process of the damaged skin by promoting new skin cells’ growth. CBD products may help in reducing skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Therefore, using a CBD face mask may help soothe the skin and reduce the itchiness and redness caused due to inflammations.
- Anti-aging, Scars, and Spots
Have you been using many skincare products to reduce the signs of skin aging but found no luck? CBD facemasks may change that for you. CBD may help prevent the skin from the signs of aging like wrinkles, dark spots, and fine lines. Scarcity of collagen in the skin causes signs of aging like wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and fine lines, and CBD may help boost collagen levels. The Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids present in CBD may help in boosting collagen production. With adequate collagen fiber, the skin cells do not lose elasticity and stay tight without any wrinkles or lines. People with uneven skin tone and acne scars can also benefit from CBD facemasks as higher collagen levels help reduce those skin conditions.
- Free Radical Damage
You may have heard the term ‘free radical damage’ in any skincare and beauty products commercials on TV. It is one of the primary reasons that increase the signs of aging even among young people. Free radicals are nothing but single electrons looking for other electrons for binding. Your body has several free radicals but, the ones found in the environment are more harmful. Pollution mainly contributes to the increase of free radicals. When these free radicals present bond with the molecules of the body, they damage the skin. That is because the fusion results in oxidative stress and breaks down the collagen fiber. Since CBD is a rich-antioxidant, it may help reduce such oxidative stress and fight free radical damage. So if you spend more time outdoors in places with more pollution, using CBD infused facemasks frequently may immensely help reduce the effects of free radical damage.
- Dry Skin
Skin requires necessary nutrients and oils to look better and glowing. Inadequate essential oils and nutrients result in dry, flaky skin. One must moisturize skin externally in such cases using creams and moisturizers. However, facemasks, especially sheet masks, are an effective way to moisturize dry skin. CBD regulates the oil levels in the skin and helps boost the oil levels when necessary. So using CBD face masks may moisturize and nourish your skin resulting in glowing and radiant skin. Also, most people with dry skin commit the mistake of over-moisturizing by applying excess moisturizers and creams. CBD reduces or boosts the oil levels in such cases when needed. So you can rest assured about oily or dry skin using CBD products.
Final Thoughts
Those were the five benefits of using CBD facemasks. CBD is a natural supplement that can help alleviate many health conditions. However, ensure to use only high-quality CBD products, especially if you decide to incorporate CBD in your skincare routine. Additional ingredients to look for in CBD face masks are glycerin, and Vitamin C. Glycerin helps moisturize the skin, locks the hydration and, vitamin C is a rich anti-oxidant. But, if you have any pre-existing skin condition, it’s better to consult a dermatologist before using CBD products.
