Age is just a number. This is true as long as you feel young, are comfortable in your skin, have dozens of unending aspirations, and love yourself the way you are. However, other than lots of self-confidence, you also need a few drops of CBD oil to age gracefully.

What is CBD oil?

CBD oil is a popular skincare choice because, unlike other derivatives, it’s not intoxicating. CBD or cannabidiol is extracted in the form of powder from the cannabis sativa plant and then mixed with other forms of oil for topical usage. CBD oil hardly contains any THC content, so the consumers don’t need to worry about any mind-altering properties. The THC content is often so low that it’s difficult to detect even using testing equipment.

It’s important to understand that there is a difference between CBD oil and hemp seed oil—the two of which are often used interchangeably. CBD oil contains a higher concentration of cannabidiol than hemp seed oil that only comprises small trace amounts.

How does CBD help with anti-aging?

CBD is also a powerful antioxidant. This property enables it to fight off the free radicals that cause cell degeneration. Free radicals are one of the main reasons why the collagen n your skin breaks down. By fighting free radicals, CBD helps slow down collagen breakdown. Collagen is important to help your skin retain its firmness, youthfulness, and tightness.

Other than that, the endocannabinoid system in your body also regulated hormone production. This is important because as we age, the oil glands’ ability to produce oil also reduces. CBD stimulates the sebaceous glands in your skin to secrete oil and retain its luster and glow. The oil produced by these glands is also important to keep your skin pliable and prevent skin dryness.

How to use CBD oil for anti-aging?

Smoking can greatly accelerate the aging process. Therefore, you mustn’t smoke or inhale the CBD oil for anti-aging purposes. The good news is that CBD oil is also available in the form of tinctures, lotions, balms, and creams. These are much easier to apply and allow you to control the dosage as well. If you’re using CBD oil directly, you can always mix a few droplets to another carrier oil that works well for your skin type.
