It won’t, and here are two reasons why.
First, CBD doesn’t have a psychoactive effect like THC, which is a more potent cousin. This means that CBD won’t make you feel “high”.
Second, even though there may be traces of THC in the lotion or balm, the topicals that are applied to the skin do not make it into the bloodstream. Consider this: Have you ever used a skin cream that contains alcohol? (Check your ingredients, I’m sure you have!) You may have sanitized your skin using rubbing alcohol. Did you drink? I think not.
What if I have to use too much?
Research continues to show that CBD is safe and has no known level of toxicology, making it almost impossible to overdose. You can use as much CBD Muscle Gel Roll-On application as you want, as the absorption rate is low.
To ensure there are no side effects, it is important to start with a small amount of any new skin care regimen. You can start slowly and increase your use as you progress. You might also have an allergic reaction to any of the non-CBD ingredients so take your time.
CBD seems to have some very exciting effects. Even though science is still in its early stages, there are good reasons to believe it can do some really cool things.
Pain management
Everybody feels the daily wear and tear of everyday life. Add to that the hours spent behind a wheel or at the desk for long periods of time, and the result is serious aches and discomforts. This is where topical CBD seems promising.
All that talk about ECS and how it regulates pain? It might do this in a few different ways. The first is that CBD increases the amount of pain-fighting cannabis cannabinoids within your body.
A lot of pain is caused by inflammation. CBD has been proven to be an anti-inflammatory. Recent studies show that CBD can be used topically to reduce inflammation-related pain in animals. This is especially good news for people suffering from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or those who experience acute soreness due to tissue damage.
While more research is needed, I have seen enough evidence to recommend CBD for topical use.
Conditions of the skin
It’s becoming more common for companies to include CBD in their skincare and beauty products. It is easy to absorb CBD directly into areas of inflammation because it has strong anti-inflammatory properties. You can also pack CBD in a lotion or balm that contains other ingredients that have skin-healthy properties.
Even better, some researchers believe CBD may be able to treat or prevent acne, the most common skin condition among teenagers. It turns out that CBD can inhibit lipid synthesis and reduce the amount of skin oil production by absorbing into the skin. It prevents your skin’s production of oils that can clog pores and ruin your junior prom.
Research is still in its infancy, but CBD seems like a great way to address some of the most common problems that affect the largest organ of the body. These are some skin conditions CBD may help.
