CBD skincare products

In recent years, a wide range of CBD skincare products have become available on the market. This cannabinoid has many properties that are ideal for helping us to care for and protect our skin, so it’s no wonder that this is the case. Of particular note are its moisturising, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and lipid-regulating properties. All of them contribute to the care and protection of our skin, helping us to always keep it in the best condition.

The properties of CBD and cannabis that can help with acne

Two of the most valued qualities of CBD in terms of cosmetics are its antibacterial and lipid-regulating properties. The combination of the two can help to effectively combat acne by regulating the level of oil in the skin and eliminating the bacteria that cause redness and pimples.

CBD can help fight bacteria that cause skin infections and it can also help to reduce and regulate sebum production. It’s therefore an ideal compound for facial care for people suffering from this condition, as it reduces its effects.

In addition, hemp seed oil, which is the base of CBD oil, also has the ability to regulate sebum levels. According to a study published in 2015, applying cannabis oil to the face can significantly reduce sebum levels as well as skin redness in people suffering from acne¹.

Therefore, CBD creams aren’t the only products that can help to protect and care for our skin, but CBD oil also contributes to its well-being when applied directly to the skin.

Our CBD oil is made from just two completely organic ingredients, which are cannabis seed oil and a CBD-rich flower extract. CBD oil is therefore a completely natural product. In addition, at The Tree CBD we only use the highest quality hemp, which is free of pesticides and chemicals and grown organically in Europe.

For all these reasons, CBD oil is perfect for cleansing our skin, preventing infections, blackheads and pimples, while soothing and calming inflammation.

Properties of CBD and cannabis for sun protection

Apart from its acne treatment properties, hemp oil is an excellent moisturiser rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6, so it’s also often included as an ingredient in CBD creams. Both of them are main compounds in our CBD sunscreen. This is because they work well together to protect our skin from the sun, as they also have the ability to protect against UV rays.

Properties of CBD that can help protect and regenerate the skin

Apart from protecting our skin from the sun, both CBD and hemp oil have soothing, anti-inflammatory, and moisturising properties, so they can also help our skin to recover after prolonged exposure to the sun. For this reason, both of them are ingredients that we use in our after sun with CBD.

This product also contains aloe vera, calendula, and mint, among other natural ingredients that soothe, moisturise, and regenerate our skin, making it ideal for after sunbathing.

In fact, thanks to its soothing, moisturising, and skin regenerating properties, CBD can help us protect our skin from all kinds of environmental micro-aggressions, such as damage caused by cold, heavy metals, pollution, stress, etc. This is why it’s the main ingredient in our lip balm with CBD. We can protect and moisturise our lips to keep them soft and silky thanks to this innovative product.

Other properties of CBD that are beneficial for the skin

Apart from its moisturising, lipid-regulating, soothing, hydrating, and regenerating properties, CBD also has a high antioxidant effect. This means that it can help to slow down and hinder the action of free radicals, thereby helping to prevent and reduce the signs of ageing².

In addition, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD help to soothe and care for sensitive skin. Thanks to these properties, CBD creams and oils can help reduce the symptoms of inflammation, alleviating the many ailments it can cause.

How to apply CBD skincare products

When it comes to applying CBD skincare products, both CBD oils and CBD creams are used in the same way. Simply cleanse the skin before application, then apply the cream or oil in question and gently massage it into the skin until it’s completely absorbed.

You can apply CBD cosmetics as often as necessary depending on the product you’re using and your needs.

If you use CBD oil to help reduce acne or early signs of ageing, it makes sense to add it to your daily facial care routine.

Sunscreen, as its name suggests, is used to protect us from the sun during outdoor activities as well as when we go outside. You can also use after sun to recover from sun exposure.

Lastly, you can use lip balm as often as you like to keep your lips moisturised.
