CBD is one of the 113 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and it has made its appearance in the skincare market for some time, becoming one of the most interesting and present ingredients in skincare.
The complete cannabidiol spectrum is derived from hemp (officially known as CBD) and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which make it a very important ingredient for the care of irritated, dry, and sensitive skin, helping it in the treatment of inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as functioning as an effective anti-age ingredient, thanks to the fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6) and antioxidants it contains (the antioxidants contained in CBD are even more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E). Furthermore, it is a powerful antibacterial, antiviral and regulator of sebumsecretion, able to solve the most common problems such as acne. In addition to that, CBD can be included in the skincare routine without any prep, it has no psychotic effect (it is not psychoactive, unlike the active plant compound, THC), it is suitable for all skin types. What are you waiting for?

The CBD Booster from Bybi helps soothe redness and reduce rashes thanks to the CBD, universally known for its beneficial and anti-irritation properties, and pure hemp seed oil, a non-comedogenic ingredient. What does that mean? It means that although it is an excellent skin softener, it does not clog the pores and can help regulate the production of sebum in the skin, which is what makes this booster suitable also for oily and impure skin. We also like to add a few drops of it to our foundation to make it silky and give it that glowy look, perfect for a natural summer look!
5. Paula’s Choice, CBD Oil + Retinol
Speaking about facial oils, in Paula’s Choice’s oil CBD and retinol complement each other to help prevent and repair the signs of much-feared aging. If retinol restores skin, smoothes wrinkles, and improves damage caused by sun exposure, CBD acts as a “calming” ingredient compared to external stress factors that are the underlying cause of signs of premature aging and loss of tone. In addition to that, natural squalane and moisturizing triglycerides help make both CBD and retinol more available for the skin. Moreover, the hemp seed oil is a rich source of omega + antioxidant fatty acids.
Apply a few drops on your face and neck (once a day) after the cleanser, toner, and exfoliant, and follow with a moisturizer according to your needs. Reminder: the next morning use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
