When CBD is used on our skin, it stimulates cannabinoid receptors, which regulate our responses to stress and inflammation. For our skin, this means that CBD could have three major benefits. Anti-aging - by calming irritated skin and reducing redness, as well as combining its other benefits to help reduce the signs of aging. Anti-oxidant - by providing a missing particle that free radicals can bond with it, stopping it from causing DNA damage that results in aged skin. Anti-Inflammatory - by triggering the receptors that regulate inflammation and lipid production. This is why CBD is being touted as the new response to acne and other inflammatory skin conditions.
