It's time for a new skincare routine: What are CBD topicals?

CBD Products have been gaining popularity for quite some time now, mostly because of their ease of access and effectiveness. But before you buy any CBD topicals, creams, or balms online or in-store, you must know a few things beforehand to ensure your experience goes as smoothly as possible.

What is CBD?

CBD or Cannabidiol is a compound produced by cannabis and unlike THC the other compound, CBD doesn’t give you the feeling of being high instead it offers a different range of effects.

What are CBD Topicals?

CBD topicals are used on the skin for targeted relief. They do not enter the bloodstream. This makes them a good choice for people who want to avoid feeling CBD effects all over their bodies.

CBD topicals are often used for temporary pain relief, muscle aches, workout recovery, inflammation, and dry skin. Topicals are sometimes even used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as Dermatitis, Eczema, and Psoriasis.

Most CBD topicals use CBD as the main ingredient; they often include other ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter, menthol, jojoba, vitamin E, aloe vera, and the list continues.

CBD topicals can be a great addition to your skincare routine, providing targeted relief to areas with skin problems.

Watch out for this!

When you are purchasing CBD topicals be sure to read the dosage information. Some topicals may have less or more CBD than others which affects how much you should apply to feel the benefits
