Acne can really suck, especially because not everyone has to go through it. Managing your acne can be difficult because a cream might work for your best friend but when you use it nothing happens. What is it, witchcraft? Some have it so bad that over-the-counter creams and washes don’t cut it and have to get prescription medication to gain control over their acne. Many are switching to taking CBD instead of using over-the-counter remedies or prescription medication because it works and doesn’t have those pesky side-effects.
Why CBD Works For Acne
You develop acne because your body is producing too much oil. When you’re going through puberty, your hormones are going crazy. Just like you, your body is trying to figure stuff out. It’s pretty much a warzone going on in your body. If you’ve ever remodeled anything before, you know first hand it gets worse before it gets better.
Your body is covered in hair, most of it you just can’t see. That means your body is covered in hair follicles, which is where the sebaceous glands are which produce the oil. You need this oil because it waterproofs and lubricates your skin and hair. But when you have too much, it can build up in those glands turning into whiteheads, blackheads, or just annoying bumps you can’t seem to get rid of.
Now, this is where CBD oil comes in. The cool thing about CBD oil is that studies show it acts as a regulator. If your body wasn't producing enough oil, it would tell your body to tighten up and get it’s act together and provide the oil your body needs. But in your case, you don’t want any more oil production. CBD may instead reduce the oil production in your skin, preventing it from building up and creating pimples.
Inflammation is also a problem when it comes to acne. Your skin can start hurting to the touch, and it can even become painful applying any treatment to your skin. CBD oil has shown in studies to reduce inflammation, which takes some of the red puffiness out of your skin and reduces the pain you feel from even the slightest bit of pressure.
