CBD Skincare: The Benefits for Blemishes


CBD has been making waves in the skincare industry, with many people turning to it for its many benefits. However, there is still a large disconnect between CBD and the public, with many associating it with a negative connotation. As a skincare company, Butterfly High aims to bridge this gap by helping people understand the true medical solutions CBD can offer for the skin.


Recent studies have shown that CBD can have a positive effect on the skin barrier, and we will explore these benefits, as well as the research surrounding it. In fact, there is a system found in the cutaneous membrane of the skin that regulates its functions, known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS has receptors that have been detected in the skin, and disruption to this system is linked to dermatological disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, and pruritus. This link signifies the impact the ECS has on cutaneous biology, and highlights the potential for CBD to help with skin and cosmetic disorders.


So, what exactly is CBD? Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a naturally-occurring chemical derived from cannabis plants such as marijuana and hemp. Unlike other components of the plant, CBD does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that produces the "high." CBD is most commonly formulated as an oil, but can also be sold as an extract, an oil-based capsule, or a vaporized liquid. It is used in food, drinks, beauty products, and is becoming more readily available as new research is conducted.

The benefits of CBD for the skin are numerous. CBD can help to treat inflammatory acne by reducing redness, pain, and swelling associated with it. It can also help to regulate hormones involving oil production, which reduces excess sebum found in the skin barrier, ultimately reducing breakouts. CBD is also shown to soothe rosacea, eczema, and dermatitis by reducing inflammation. It may also help to prevent the weakening of the skin by neutralizing free radical damage, and as an adaptogen, CBD may work to decrease the effects of hormones and other compounds that are released into the body in times of stress. Finally, CBD has moisturizing properties that can help combat dehydration and dryness, making it a great addition to any skincare routine
