CBD alleviates a variety of ailments from body pains to anxiety, but it can really do wonders for our skin, too. High quality CBD applied topically soothes skin inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria and delivers age-fighting antioxidants.
When it comes to actually selecting a CBD skincare product that is high quality, it can be a bit tricky. During the current CBD craze, cosmetic companies can slap a CBD label on a product and sell more than they probably would without it. Especially if the price seems a little too good, there may not be much CBD in the product at all. Plus, without required third party testing or federal regulation, the product could be tainted with toxins and other harmful materials that you definitely don’t want to put on your skin.
An easy way to solve this problem is simply to make your own CBD skincare at home! With a CBD isolate tincture, you can follow any of your favorite DIY skincare recipes and add in your own CBD. This way, you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin without having to decode a “CBD” serum’s ingredients list.
Any DIY skincare recipe can be enhanced with your favorite CBD oil, but here’s one of my favorites—a lightweight serum that targets acne and inflammation.
Ingredients for CBD Oil Facial Serum
- 2 tablespoons CBD oil
- 2 tablespoons jojoba oil (wax)
- 1 teaspoon carrot seed oil
- 3 drops frankincense essential oil
- 5 drops rose geranium essential oil
Mix all the above-mentioned ingredients and store the serum in a dark-colored glass bottle with a dropper for easy application. Frankincense, jojoba, and carrot seed oil help correct the blemishes and even out the skin tone. Rose geranium oil cleans the pores and exerts potent anti-inflammatory action on skin affected by acne, eczema, and dermatitis.
Take 3-4 drops of this serum and massage it on the affected area two times a day to combat acne and see a visible difference in your skin texture.
