DIY Anti Aging CBD Face Mask

CBD oil has a variety of benefits for the body and is loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants are a primary ingredient in anti-aging moisturizers and lotions. Anti-aging products can be expensive and loaded with fillers, but there are many natural alternatives to anti-aging face masks that can easily be made at home.

How does CBD work for the skin?

While taking CBD oil sublinguilly may be the most popular way to get your daily dose, there are other ways to get benefits from cannabinol. Your skin has receptors that allow CBD absorption, whether that be through a CBD cream, oil or balm. This is a great option for anyone looking to target a certain area of their body. For example, Populum’s Cold Therapy CBD Hemp Rub combines natural agents to provide instant relief on sore backs or tight muscles.

CBD has a unique set of benefits for the skin as opposed to taking it orally. According to the National Institutes of Health, CBD may help reduce redness, dryness and inflammation, and has the potential to treat eczema and psoriasis. CBD also contains high concentrations of vitamin D. Some studies have found that vitamin D can help treat skin conditions as well.

Just like when you are taking orally, using CBD consistently will lead to better results. This is exactly why Populum created the Lavender + CBD Face Oil.
