The arrival of CBD skin care products has really taken the market by storm as studies are showing the excellent healing properties that these goods have. We have established a number of great benefits that CBD products offer and also many different forms in which they can be applied.
CBD is derived from the hemp plant. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding hemp plants and CBD as critics are suggesting there’s a possibility you may experience psychoactive side effects. We are here to say that is absolutely categorically wrong and we can prove it.
CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound. It is taken from the part of a cannabis plant containing little to no THC. Most CBD products will contain no THC, or if they do it will be below the legal limit of 0.3%, which is no way near enough to get you to feel “high”. Because of these properties, you don’t need to worry “will topical CBD show up on a drug screen” because the answer is no. This form of hemp is completely legal and safe.
One of the newest products on the market is CBD body butter. In this article, we want to explain what CBD body butter is and whether it could be a good addition to your skincare routine.
CBD Body Butter
CBD body butter is a type of skin moisturiser, or lotion, that uses butter as a main source of ingredients. This butter is by no means the same that you would use as a source of food, to butter your toast in the morning. This butter is organic and vegan-friendly. The butter typically used in this instance is shea butter and cocoa butter.
You could say it is similar to other CBD goods on the market, like CBD beard oil (50ml, 500g CBD), lip balms, face masks, etc.
This butter will be used to rejuvenate your skin and give it a more healthier look and feel. In addition to this, you have the CBD itself. This ingredient is going to massively enhance the body butter as there are so many benefits that come with CBD, these include: hydrating the skin, removing any bacteria, healing dry or dead skin, targeting sore or inflamed skin, reducing muscle aches and more.
How To Use CBD Body Butter
Before applying the CBD body butter, it is best to wash or cleanse your skin. That is why we recommend applying the body butter just after you have had a shower or a bath. You want to maintain some of the moisture in your skin from washing, that’s why it’s best you aren’t completely dry.
When you are ready, start spreading the body butter onto your skin and massage it in. Target areas of dryness or inflammation and really rub the butter into those places. You can put numerous layers of the butter on, it is entirely down to your preference. The dosage of CBD will also affect how much you apply. It has been known for too much CBD to cause some side effects such as diarrhoea or nausea, so we recommend starting with small doses in the beginning then you can always increase it.
If you aren’t a fan of moisturisers or oils, there are other alternatives to taking CBD, which include CBD drinks, vapes and edibles.
