Curious about adding CBD to your skincare routine? It’s easier (and more effective) than you might think! CBD skincare products have been gaining momentum for their ability to enhance your skin health without overwhelming your regimen with extra steps. If you're new to CBD-based beauty or looking to maximize the benefits of your CBD skincare products, this guide will walk you through how to do just that.
CBD skincare products are popular for a reason. These innovative formulas work with your skin rather than against it. They’re formulated to promote balance, hydration and a calming experience for all skin types. Whether you’re looking for a daily boost of nourishment or a new way to help address specific concerns, CBD products are a versatile addition to any beauty routine.
Every great skincare routine begins with a clean slate. Start by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove dirt, oil and impurities that can clog your pores and interfere with the absorption of your CBD products.
Look for a gentle, non-stripping cleanser that helps prepare your skin without disrupting its natural barrier. Ingredients like Mandelic Acid, Glycolic Acid or calming botanicals boost the efficacy of your CBD skincare products, bringing you even more benefits.
A cleanser like our Gentle Gel Cleanser would pair perfectly with CBD products because of its pharmaceutical-grade Vitamin E and Green Tea Extract.
When paired with our CBD Skin Mist, which harnesses the soothing and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, the two products work together to refine and refresh the skin.
The cleanser refines and rejuvenates, while the CBD mist helps to calm redness or irritation that might arise from exfoliation, ensuring your skin remains balanced.
Serums are powerhouses in any routine. Packed with concentrated active ingredients, serums are designed to target specific needs, such as hydration, dullness or uneven skin tone.
CBD works in a serum by reducing inflammation, soothing redness and promoting balance within the skin.
Adding a CBD serum to your routine after cleansing, like our CBD Soothing Serum with Micro-Silver, can amplify its benefits. This step ensures direct delivery of CBD to your skin, enhancing hydration and providing a calming effect.
Make sure you apply the serum before thicker moisturizers to maximize absorption. If you’re using multiple serums, start with the lightest and layer up!
Your under-eye area deserves extra love, and our CBD Regenerative Eye Cream is the perfect way to deliver it. Apply a small amount of product gently around your eyes to hydrate and support this delicate skin.
CBD-based eye creams help you avoid puffiness, redness and signs of aging because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
For those moments when your skin needs an extra boost, a CBD masque is your go-to product. Try our CBD Hydratherapy Masque with Micro-Silver for intense nourishment, leaving your skin feeling soft and radiant.
Use this CBD masque 2 – 3 times a week or on days when your skin feels especially dull or tired. Leave it on for 5 – 10 minutes and follow up with a simple moisturizer to seal in the benefits.
Timing matters when it comes to skincare. CBD products give you the flexibility to use them in both morning and evening routines.
Morning Routine: Use lightweight CBD products like serums or oils to help calm your skin before applying sunscreen and makeup.
Evening Routine: Incorporate richer CBD products, such as our CBD Hydratherapy Masque, to nourish and comfort your skin as it renews overnight.
When it comes to frequency, CBD skincare products are gentle enough for daily use, but it’s always a good idea to start slow. For example, test new serums or masques a few times per week and observe how your skin responds before committing to daily use.
CBD pairs beautifully with a wide range of ingredients, making it easy to layer within your existing routine. Here are a few ingredient combinations to try:
When adding CBD to your skincare lineup, think about the products you already love and how CBD might enhance their effects. Always apply products in order of consistency. Go from the lightest to the heaviest to ensure your skin absorbs each layer effectively.
If you’re looking for flexibility, our Professional CBD Booster is your secret weapon! Mix it with your favorite moisturizer, serum or even sunscreen to enjoy the benefits of CBD without an extra step in your routine. For those days when you crave simplicity, you can also use the booster on its own.
CBD doesn’t have to be intimidating. It’s all about finding the products and routine that work for you. From cleansing to hydrating and nourishing your skin, the versatility of CBD skincare products ensures they fit seamlessly into your daily regimen.
