CBD Topicals

If your joints are aching from a long day of work or good exercise, you may be looking for some relief. CBD products are excellent at protecting our joints. Cannabidiols in topicals are among the best CBD products for joint discomfort because they may target the affected area, and the effects are instantaneous.

In 2015, this study sought to determine whether topical CBD was a viable option for coping with joint tension. The results are promising, and CBD lotion or cream is quickly becoming a favorite for many who suffer from aching joints.

We’ve seen how CBD may improve our ECS, which is connected to countless bodily functions. A well-functioning ECS is crucial for procuring the best skin possible, and the all-natural ingredients in a lotion, cream, or salve provide even more benefits. One of these crucial ingredients is a humectant.

The skin is broken up into three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous. A humectant draws moisture from the dermis into the epidermis, which is the outer skin layer. Additionally, if it’s humid enough outside, a humectant may even pull moisture out of the air!

A humectant is just one of the many ingredients in topical CBD products that promote healthy skin. Other healthy additives include candelilla wax, olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter.

There are many topical CBD products, each with its benefits. You’ll feel the tranquil effects of CBD with any product you choose. Try a few different forms until you find the perfect CBD product for your needs.

There are topical salves, lotion, creams, gels, roll-ons, lip balms, to name a few! We’ll go over some of the most common and useful products, explaining what each is and how they work.

Topical salves are superb options for muscle tension. Cheef Botanicals’ fast-acting salves contain essential oils, candelilla wax, and even vitamin E for the ultimate relief. A salve is the best way to penetrate deep into your muscles so that CBD can work its magic at the source of the discomfort.

If you’re looking for moisturizers, look no further! This CBD topical embodies the word “soothing,” as the lotion cools irritated areas, repairs dry skin, and leaves behind a delicious smell. All of this is magnified with CBD, and the effects last roughly 2-3 hours.

Avoid products that contain harsh chemicals or preservatives to CBD lotion. CBD oil, stearic acid, and emulsifying wax are the core ingredients of any good cannabidiol-infused lotion. If a manufacturer relies on too many unnatural additives, the inherent benefits of the CBD won’t be as strong.

Say goodbye to chapped lips with CBD-infused lip balm. Ease cracked or cold lips while simultaneously reinforcing them with CBD. If you’re on the go, cannabidiol lip balm is simple-to-use and portable, ensuring that you’ll never be far from an ECS-boosting dose of CBD.

The best lip balms are made vegan, without using beeswax or carmine. Look for natural ingredients grown without the use of GMOs or synthetic pesticides. Avoid lip balms that use artificial coloring or flavoring, as these may damage one’s health.

CBD face masks have many benefits. They help prevent acne, fight wrinkles, increase skin hydration, and may even reduce the chances of headaches.

There are two types of face masks: spread-on and sheet. Spread-on masks are typically a lotion or gel applied similarly to how other topicals are rubbed on. Sheet masks lay on top of your face, and they can help push the ingredients into your skin.

When many people hear “transdermal,” they think of a patch. However, this is not always the case. While many gels, patches, and films are transdermal, some are topical products with adhesive strips.

To be considered a transdermal, the product must employ compounds that penetrate the skin and deliver more of the substance than topical application.

Transdermal CBD is a great choice for potent cannabidiol, though you should be aware that it uses other skin-penetrating compounds.

Before anyone goes slathering products onto their bodies, let’s take a look at how each of the previously mentioned products may benefit you. Some topical CBD products may have you shake vigorously before use, and others might require that you wash the intended area first.

Of course, the first step when using anything is to read the manufacturer’s label. Once you’ve got a feel for the general directions, you can apply each form of CBD using these methods:

• Salve: With your fingers, apply salve onto a part of your body that is sore or tense. Avoid sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth, or genitals. For muscle relief, rub the product over the target spot.
• Lotion: Massage lotion onto the affected area. Start with one or two pumps, and increase dosage as needed.
• Lip balm: Remove the cap and twist the tube’s bottom to raise the lip balm out of its casing. Apply it on your lips as needed.
• Face mask: To use a spread-on face mask, spread an even layer of cream around your face. Avoiding getting any product in your eyes, nose, mouth (including lips), and eyebrows. When using a sheet mask, remove the adhesive covering and line up the mask with your face. Press it down until all sides are sticking evenly, and keep it applied as long as the packaging specifies.
• Transdermal: Often (though not always), transdermal patches require that you shave and wash the application area before use. This is because the CBD and other compounds must remain in direct contact with your skin for the product to work. If the patch’s adhesive is blocked by hair or dirt, it could work inefficiently or fall off. To apply a transdermal, peel off the paper covering the adhesive and press onto your skin as you would a bandage.

The best CBD topical product for you depends on your lifestyle and needs. For example, someone repeatedly experiencing lower-back pain may not need the same product as someone with joint tension in their wrist. Experiment with products, listen to your body and keep an eye out for the best ingredients.

Enjoy CBD that is natural, and animal-cruelty-free. The best way to ensure your hemp-derived CBD products are legal and safe is to check whether the plants were grown in the United States. American grown hemp is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring the plants are grown safely.

Imported hemp may not have the same rules that the FDA uses, resulting in crops containing more than the legal THC limit. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, CBD products manufactured and sold in the United States must contain 0.3 percent THC or less to be federally legal.

If you’re looking for CBD products with less THC, consider broad-spectrum CBD. Broad-spectrum CBD is intended to be THC-free, while Full-spectrum CBD, on the other hand, carries trace amounts of THC. The low amounts of THC (0.3 percent or less) in full-spectrum CBD products strengthen the entourage effect, a term that describes the outcome of all the cannabinoids in hemp working together to benefit the body.

The entourage effect refers to increased overall effectiveness when as many hemp-derived compounds are ingested simultaneously. Full-spectrum products offer the strongest entourage effect, but if you’d rather avoid THC altogether, broad-spectrum CBD is still an effective alternative.
