Is Cannabidiol (CBD) Oil the Next Big Thing?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabis-derivative product and is being hyped as a miracle skincare ingredient. MGC Pharmaceuticals which develops medical cannabis products has come out with a brand of skincare products GMC Derma. “MGC Pharmaceuticals (ASX:MXC) is a publicly traded Australian company focused on the growing global Cannabinoids market.”

According to Cult Beauty “…… cannabis is the next big thing in beauty – don’t worry, we mean the non-psychoactive extracts. Our bodies have native receptors for ‘cannabinoids’ so that they can be set to work straight away, healing irritation, balancing oil, minimising signs of ageing and moisturising.”

The New York company, Herb Essentials, is a new skincare brand that uses cannabidiol in products and claims that CBD oil does not block pores, is rich in anti-oxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties and has essential fatty acids for hydration.

Do products with CBD work? Experts say it’s hard to know what ingredients are making a difference in a cream. However look for creams with a water base that absorb cannabidiol best and stay tuned for more info.

Skin Care Basics
Beauty begins with good skin care. Good skin care means keeping your skin clean and wearing a moisturizer that contains sunscreen daily. A healthy lifestyle means eating healthy foods, getting plenty of exercise, and drinking lots of water. Both good skin care basics and a healthy lifestyle will insure beautiful skin. In addition visit a dermatologist at least once a year for a skin check up and to find out what new skin care products and procedures will help you. He or she can prescribe products such as Renova, a potent wrinkle product approved by the FDA.
