If Natalie Bustamante somehow forgets to take CBD in the morning, she notices.
“In Miami, the drivers are horrendous,” Bustamante, founder of Vital Tonics, says. “I can tell instantly on the days I have not taken my CBD, because my patience with the bad drivers is nonexistent.”
Besides relieving imminent road rage, CBD benefits the body in numerous ways, especially the skin. Skin disorders like eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and the occasional pimple all benefit from CBD’s anti-inflammatory abilities, she says.
“I have rosacea, and I have a lot of friends with rosacea, and the CBD face mask they say has changed their rosacea completely,” she shares.
According to Bustamante, it all starts in the endocannabinoid system, which regulates the body’s inflammatory reactions that lead to psoriasis, eczema and rosacea. When applied topically, CBD sinks into the skin and relieves inflammation by influencing these endocannabinoid receptors.
Not only that, CBD also attacks cells that form acne, regulates oil production and keeps your skin looking young through stimulating the production of collagen. Dry skin, aging skin and itchy skin can all benefit from CBD.
A 2019 study by beauty research website Poshly, revealed that beauty consumers found the biggest benefits of CBD as its soothing, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving abilities.
The study also found that in 2019 alone, the use of CBD beauty products doubled from 20 percent to 40 percent by the end of the year.
Evie Phillips, a regular CBD consumer and founder of CBD Beauty Corner, cares for her skin with cannabidoil at least twice a day.
“I might as well be dripping in CBD from head to toe,” she says.
She started her company to promote CBD beauty products with reliable formulas. Phillips created a system where CBD brands can apply to be featured by CBD Beauty Corner, marking their brand as using trustworthy formulas and ingredients. Only approved brands make it on the website, newsletter, in stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and on their Instagram.
