The Benefits of Using a CBD Face Mask
Softer Skin
For those who battle dry skin regularly, they likely use lotions and other products to help preserve moisture. However, the most significant problem with this tactic is that the more cream you use, the less effective your skin is naturally. It’s a vicious cycle where the more you apply, the more you have to apply again and again.
With CBD, you can break that cycle. Inside your skin are sebaceous glands. These glands regulate how much natural oil your skin produces at any given time. Other products inhibit your glands, so your skin doesn’t get rejuvenated. However, cannabidiol interacts and helps stimulate these glands naturally. So, even though you’re putting a product on your face, it doesn’t create the same kind of problems that lotion or moisturizer does.
Best of all, these effects are cumulative. So, as CBD stimulates your glands, they become better at secreting the right amount of oil for your skin. Over time, you’ll notice softer and smoother skin, all without having to use any harsh chemicals or treatments.
Calming Effects
If you’ve ever used a cosmetic face mask before, then you know you can’t do anything while it’s working. So, a mask forces you to stop and take a break. Considering how hectic modern life can be at times, giving yourself these moments can do wonders for both your skin health and mental health.
There’s a reason why going to the spa is so relaxing. Rather than stressing out about work, family, or one of a hundred other things, you’re forced to live in the present. You’re not worrying about what tomorrow will bring, just enjoying life right now.
Obviously, there are other reasons why being at the spa can be such a rewarding experience, and an at-home face mask won’t be able to recreate all of those different elements. However, you can amplify its effects in several ways. For example, you can wear the mask while in a bubble bath. Put in some earphones and listen to your favorite music or just put on some white noise.
Even if you can only get away for 10 minutes or so, the results will be delightful. Not only will your face feel better and smoother, but your mind will be reset as well. All too often, we never really get a chance to quiet our brains for more than a few moments. Think of it like rebooting your system – a fresh start.
