CBD and anti-aging: Is CBD cream good for wrinkles?

CBD’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties help effectively combat wrinkles as well as other signs of aging. 

Although there are many factors that may increase the prominence and onset of wrinkles, those creases in your skin are a natural sign of aging. A side effect of living a full life on this earth. If, however, you are bothered by your wrinkles, here’s what you need to know:

As people age, our skin becomes less elastic, losing its ability to heal, fight inflammation, and retain moisture. Meanwhile, a decreased production of natural oils dries out skin. This is where CBD comes in. In this post, we are going to look at three main properties, all of which directly address and combat the root causes of aging skin. 

1. CBD is an effective antioxidant. The leading cause of wrinkles and aging skin is long-term sun exposure, which causes free radicals to attack and break down the collagen in our skin. CBD's antioxidant properties help our cells fight against damaging free radicals while protecting the collagen in our skin (ncbi). 
2. CBD’s powerful anti-inflammatory properties reduce the appearance of wrinkles by calming irritated skin and curbing the negative effects of inflammation. Inflammation can increase the appearance of ‘puffiness’ or sagging skin, accelerate the onset of deep lines, and cause overall redness and irritation. 
3. Lastly, CBD is a natural moisturizer which helps stimulate and balance oil production. Keeping your skin moisturized is essential for mitigating the appearance of irritation and wrinkles. 
   
   

All of these factors play an important role in combating the production and appearance of wrinkles- but it doesn’t stop there.

A lot of CBD’s effectiveness for treating skin has to do with our own endocannabinoid system. This system, which is present in our skin, works in harmony with the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant (including CBD). By introducing compounds such as CBD, we are able to aid and maintain the homeostatic balance supported by the skin’s endocannabinoid system.
