10 AMAZING Benefits of CBD Balm for Vibrant Skin
Hemp: Nature’s Healer for Our Skin
Hemp is a plant that truly heals. Mother Nature infused this unique and wonderful plant with natural healers such as CBD, Terpenes and Trichomes to bring our world much-needed relief for all sorts of body pain without making us high.
What is a CBD Balm?
CBD, known scientifically as Cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive extract from the female version of Cannabis Sativa (Hemp). CBD Balms infuse CBD in a concentrated balm alongside other ingredients so you can rub the pain-relieving, skin-healing benefits of CBD directly on an impacted muscle group.
Let’s talk Benefits
CBD Balms infuse the wonders of ageless nature with proven science to gently yet powerfully lower inflammation throughout your body:
Pain: CBD is rich in anti-inflammatory properties to help your body relieve chronic pain by lowering inflammation throughout your muscles, joints and tendons.
Dry Skin: Jam-packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, CBD’s anti-inflammatory benefits bring healing and revitalization to cracked, cut and rough skin patches.
Eczema: Known as Atopic Dermatitis, Eczema makes skin red and itchy. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties have “little to zero side effects” to support your skin’s optimal health and wellness.
Rashes: According to Dermatologists’ “Topical CBD reduces oil production and provides moisture and pain relief. It’s safe and works effectively for all skin types.”
Acne: The key to reducing acne is to adjust how your body manages sebum. Rubbing small amounts of CBD Balm on your face may help inhibit the cells which activate acne and also regulate sebum production on acne-prone skin.
Wrinkles: We learned above that CBD helps regulate oil production. Those with wrinkles may find CBD to be an effective treatment as increased oil production may reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Psoriasis: Those who suffer with psoriasis experience an itchy rash on the skin or joints. The anti-inflammatory effects of CBD may inhibit the growth of keratinocytes, relieving psoriasis pain.
Pruritus: This skin condition involves severe itching of the skin. A study of 21 patients who used CBD Balm 2 times a day for 3 weeks found were able to “eliminate severe pruritus.”
Seborrheic Dermatitis: It’s a tongue-twister, but this skin ailment involves chronic inflammation resulting in red, scaly skin on the scalp and around the hairline. CBD’s unique benefit to lower inflammation may slow the production of sebum and bring quick and effective balance to your cells.
Roseacea: Redness and small, pus-filled pimples on the face are unique symptoms of Rosacea. CBD’s benefit to decrease sebum production with anti-inflammatory support are found in clinical studies to reduce redness and skin irritation.

The Danger of Parabens
Parabens, often used in cosmetics, are synthetic chemicals first introduced in the 1920’s to extend the longevity of food, skin and body care products. These artifical preservatives increase the shelf life of these products by reducing the growth of harmful germs, bacteria and even mold!
While the words “artificial” and “synthetic” should raise alarms, scientific studies have shown parabens can “disrupt hormones in the body and harm fertility and reproductive organs, affect birth outcomes, increase the risk of cancer, and cause skin irriation.”
The side-effects of parabens illuminate the need for a natural way to keep our skin healthy. While CBD Muscle Balms may not carry a longer shelf life than a paraben-rich skin product, they contain safe, natural and simple ingredients which anyone can understand.
Let’s take a look at our Pure Gold CBD Muscle Balm ingredients to get a contrast:

How do I use CBD Balm?
CBD Balms are a bit different than your traditional CBD Oil Tinctures. For starters, CBD Balms are applied externally on a specific area of pain so CBD can be absorbed through the dermal barrier separating the skin from the bloodstream.
Follow these steps to apply CBD Balm like a pro:
Clean the impacted muscle or joint that needs pain relief
Apply a thick layer to the specific area (1 finger full is enough)
Massage in a circular motion
Let air dry or cover it with a patch to keep the balm on the skin
Reapply every 4-6 hours on an “as-needed basis”
It’s that simple and easy, just one reason of many why we love CBD!
How Does CBD Balm Work in the Body?
CBD Balm is a topical-only solution, meaning it is designed to be applied to a local muscle group for instant, on-the-spot pain relief. CBD Oil is a different product as you place CBD Drops under your tongue so the CBD Molecule can be absorbed into the bloodstream through capillaries found underneath the tongue.
The main difference between these two delivery systems is absorption. CBD Oil has a much higher absorption rate than a CBD Topical because it directly absorbs into the bloodsteam for maximum effectiveness. Absorption rates with CBD Balms is generally much lower as skin blocks a large portion of CBD from entering the bloodstream.
To get the best effect from a CBD Balm, make sure your product has between 170mg to 800mg of CBD as higher concentrations work better to break through the dermal barrier to reach the bloodstream through your skin pores.
What About Side Effects?
CBD is non-psychoactive, so do not stress about it making you high. Simply enjoy the natural relief of CBD Balm!
The only side-effect our research has produced is sensitivity to certain essential oils contained in CBD Balms. Other than that, there is no documented side effect of using CBD Balm for targeted pain relief.
