Struggling with adult acne? Didn't we struggle enough in High School? Don't worry. CBD is proving to be a steady ally for unwelcome (and unfair) breakouts. Here's how:
Regulation of Sebum Production
- We have sebaceous glands all over our bodies; everywhere except for the palms of our hands and our feet. Sebum itself is an oily secretion, which can be problematic in excess.
- When sebaceous glands on our face are overreactive, pores get clogged from all the excess oil.
- CBD works to regulate sebum production, thereby balancing skin, reducing flareups, and helping our complexion achieve a state of harmony and happiness. (Picture you and clear skin riding off into the sunset.)
Anti-bacterial
- CBD has been effective in killing certain bacterial infections of the skin. (Acne bacteria manifests in pimples, redness, and large lesions.) A 2016 review of the cannabis plant highlighted its antibacterial and antifungal effects—aka CBD's ability to help reduce infections from dirt and other toxins—aka see ya later acne.
Anti-inflammatory
- Acne and inflammation go together like toast and avocado—but not in a good way. They're a terrifying dynamic duo, but here's good news! It has been revealed that CBD oil triggers an anti-inflammatory reaction, thereby preventing future breakouts.
