Sooth Winter Skin with Industrial Hemp CBD Oil For Anti Aging
So you’re interested in the possibility of adding hemp oil to your skin care regimen? Well, then I believe you’re on the right track. 
Science shows us that Cannabis treatments work with our endocannabinoid system to help alleviate pain. We also have these same receptors on our skin. When our skin is dry or irritated we usually add some kind of cream to alleviate the irritation. If we invite the idea of using a hemp oil skin care product we will be working with the cannabinoid receptors that we already have, naturally to alleviate the skin irritations.
Anti-inflammatory Properties
The Cannabis plant is high anti-inflammatory properties with the THC or without. Cannabidiol is high in Vitamin A and E. It also contains small amounts of important minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and calcium. When applied to the skin topically it has been shown to increase blood flow to the affected area thereby promoting healing.
Antioxidant Properties
Aging is an unfortunate fact of life. Everyone wants to look and feel younger and that’s why almost all products that claim to reduce or eliminate the signs of aging contain some kind of antioxidant. Antioxidants eliminate the free radicals that cause cellular damage including wrinkles and in some cases skin cancer. Some believe that if we can stop or slow down the damage then we can slow down the aging process. Hemp oil skin products contain these antioxidants Thereby making it a great addition to our skin care regimens.
Here is a great recipe for a homemade face mask made with CBD Oil
Obviously, the first thing that you are going to need is a good CBD oil. You can buy them online and in just about any marijuana dispensary. You can even make your own. It may contain some THC but it will still provide the same benefits. If you’re buying it make sure you get the chemical analysis so that you know how much CBD you have so you can adjust your recipe correctly. You will want the highest level of CBD that you can find. Tinctures work great for some things, but not for what we are going to do with it. If you have found a product that you want to buy but they haven’t had any testing done, then find a different product. Soon you won’t have to worry about this. The more the government gets involved the more documentation these kinds of companies will have to provide. Right now there are companies trying to take advantage of the new CBD craze and developing products that don’t contain any cannabis or CBD at all. Hemp seed oil can be used in this case. Most of the time I do not recommend hemp seed oil because the seed does not contain any CBD at all. The seed, however, does contain essential fatty acids and is high in Omega 3, 6, and 9 making it great for your skin as well. So assuming you have your quality CBD oil we can continue.
You will need ¼ of a cup of high-quality industrial hemp oil or Hemp seed oil
1 ripe avocado
- Teaspoons Spirulina powder, unique all by itself. Spirulina powder is a blue-green microalga, it is one of the oldest life forms on the planet. It is one of the most nutrient-rich foods in the world. It contains more protein than beef or chicken. In this case, we will be utilizing it’s for its awesome antioxidant properties to help balance the skins PH balance.
- Several drops of your favorite smelling essential oil for aromatherapy purposes. Lavender works great for relaxation and its pleasant smelling.
- A clean makeup brush for application.
Let’s get started: Cut the avocado and take the seed out, we don’t need it here. There are a time and a place for the seed but this is not it.
Mash the avocado or put it in the blender. We need it all mushed up, smooth and creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix it up well and set it aside.
Next, you will need to wash your face with your favorite cleanser, making sure to use hot water to help open up your pores. Steaming your face over a pot of boiling water can help to get them open also.
Then using the clean brush apply the mask to your entire face and neck making sure to avoid getting too close to your eyes.
The mask needs to stay on your face for about 10 to 15 minutes or until it is dried. Carefully wash it off with a warm washcloth and pat dry.
