CBD and Skin benefits

CBD is a naturally occurring, non-intoxicating compound within the cannabis plant. At Aūxacann, we believe these cannabinoids have the natural ability to work wonders. CBD allows your body to work for itself, rather than against itself, restoring balance and harmony within the body.

CBD and Skincare

CBD, easily absorbed by the skin due to its small molecular structure, enhances the effectiveness of skincare. Recognized by the ECS, CBD offers notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, aiding in managing issues like redness, inflammation, and dryness, while protecting against free radical damage. Our aim is to nourish and restore the skin's protective barrier, hence we incorporate CBD into our products, providing essential tools for an effective skincare routine.

Does CBD Make you younger?

Understanding skin aging begins with its causes: primarily sunlight and UV exposure, alongside stress, pollution, and lifestyle factors. Natural aging contributes less visibly, with the body producing about 1% less collagen each year after age 20, reducing skin elasticity and thickness, and decreasing oil production. This leads to larger pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. While aging is inevitable, targeting and potentially reversing premature aging is possible, especially considering factors like sun exposure and diet. A key question is how CBD can help slow down this process and mitigate these aging factors.

Look for Creams Made with Broad Spectrum CBD

While shopping for CBD creams, you'll mainly encounter broad-spectrum and CBD isolate varieties. Broad-spectrum CBD, rich in various cannabis compounds, offers the 'entourage effect' – a synergistic benefit from its combined ingredients. A broad-spectrum cream encompasses all the elements that constitute a high-quality product.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

CBD is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can help reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort associated with inflammatory skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema. This is attributed to CBD's ability to interact with the skin's endocannabinoid system, modulating the inflammatory response.

Antioxidant Properties

CBD is also a powerful antioxidant. It helps combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells. This oxidative stress is a key factor in aging, so CBD's antioxidant properties can help in preventing and reducing signs of aging like wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin tone.

Sebum Regulation

For those with oily skin, CBD can be a game-changer. Studies suggest that CBD can regulate sebum production. By inhibiting the lipid production from sebaceous glands, CBD can help control acne outbreaks and reduce the overall oiliness of the skin.

Skin Barrier Enhancement

CBD may also contribute to the health of the skin barrier. A strong, intact skin barrier is crucial for keeping out harmful microorganisms and environmental irritants, as well as for maintaining hydration. CBD's potential to enhance skin barrier function can lead to healthier, more resilient skin.

Soothing Properties

CBD's soothing effects can be particularly beneficial for sensitive skin. It can help calm skin, reduce itchiness and discomfort, and provide a soothing effect, which is especially valuable for conditions like rosacea or skin prone to frequent irritation.

Enhanced Penetration and Effectiveness

Advances in skincare formulations, like nano emulsions, have improved the way CBD penetrates the skin. This enhanced penetration means that CBD can be more effective in reaching the deeper layers of the skin, providing more significant benefits.
