CBD and its anti-aging effects. How to stay young?

CBD has gained considerable attention for its potential health benefits. Wondering what ailments it helps with? There are really a lot of them. One of the main benefits is the anti-aging effects of CBD. Since CBD products have recently become extremely popular dietary supplements, you can be sure that they will help with many different problems.

First a bit of theory: Cannabidiol or not CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. To date, over 100 different cannabinoids have been discovered in the cannabis plant. The best known are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the main psychoactive substance found in the cannabis plant. Although CBD and THC have a similar chemical structure, the psychoactivity is the biggest difference.

Cannabinoids can also be produced by the human body itself. These are endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters that bind to receptors of the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system subsequently regulates and balances internal functions such as mood, appetite, sleep and more. CBD oil can positively affect the immune, reproductive and hormonal systems when taken internally. When used externally, such as various creams and tinctures, cannabidiol has beneficial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies have shown that CBD can be a more powerful antioxidant than vitamin C and E. This is a key property for anti-aging skin treatments, as antioxidants reduce the risk of damage and help slow down the aging process.

And what about aging? While some embrace the idea of ​​aging gracefully, most people want to stay young for as long as possible. The aging process is inevitable and if you see more and more wrinkles, fragility, pigment spots, deep lines and great fatigue on your skin, it is a signal that your level collagen and elastin decreases in the skin. When this happens, the skin is very thin, delicate and no longer has the ability to heal itself. Even though we cannot stop time, we can provide the skin with important nutrition to make it look radiant, healthy and a little younger.

Are you wondering what role CBD can play in maintaining beautiful skin and its positive effects on the aging process?

What causes aging?

Aging is a slow process and the vast majority of visible signs of skin aging are caused by exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet light. Stress, pollution, unhealthy diet and other factors associated with an unhealthy lifestyle also play an important role. Only a very small part of visible skin aging is caused by natural processes in the body.

Around the age of 20, the skin becomes less elastic and firm, because collagen production decreases by about 1% every year and elastin production decreases. The gradual loss of firmness causes the skin to become softer, thinner, and the skin's natural moisture is lower and lower. These processes worsen over time as the sebaceous glands under the skin's outer layer produce less oil, resulting in the final result of combined changes leading to enlarged pores, fine lines, sagging skin and wrinkles. We cannot prevent aging, but there are ways to prevent premature aging.

Other risk factors for wrinkles include:

• Menopause
• Smoking
• Alcohol consumption
• Hormonal changes
• Excessive sun exposure

What are the anti-aging effects of CBD?

1. Stress relief

CBD can keep cortisol, the stress hormone, under control. Through its positive effects on the endocannabinoid system, CBD balances cortisol production, leading to improved mood and reduced stress. As a result, this means less stress, fewer wrinkles and more radiant skin. Higher levels of cortisol also affect the quality of sleep, and we all know that skin always looks tired and aged after a sleepless night.

2. Anti-inflammatory effect

CBD has strong anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce the symptoms of some skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. A 2015 study found that CBD helps reduce inflammation and helps with specific skin conditions. Skin looks healthy, clean, smooth and free of inflammation-related impurities such as acne, eczema or even psoriasis.

3. Helps improve skin elasticity

CBD is known for its moisturizing effects, which are most important for maintaining youthful skin. Hydrated skin is turned off and firmer, which is a top priority in the fight against aging. Over time, the skin loses its ability to return to its original form, mainly due to excessive exposure to the sun's harmful rays. Other factors, such as smoking, poor lifestyle and stress, can also negatively affect the elasticity of the skin.

4. It acts as an antioxidant

All cannabinoids are known to have strong antioxidant effects. Damage to cells due to oxidative stress can lead to faster aging. CBD helps to cope with oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and keeping cells healthy.

5. Acne prevention

Excessive sebum production is one of the main causes of acne. The primary role of sebum is to keep the body hydrated, but excessive production can lead to clogged pores and acne. CBD can help regulate sebum production and thus effectively fight acne.

6. Improves sleep

As we said above, CBD can lower cortisol levels in the body, which is the most likely cause of improved sleep quality after using CBD. People who suffer from insomnia have been found to have significantly higher levels of cortisol in their bodies. At the same time, scientists have found that CBD taken regularly at least an hour before bedtime can help fight insomnia and promote better quality sleep. Your skin is guaranteed to look a little younger if it gets a good night's rest.

Every person should accept their age and feel good about their body. We cannot stop the aging process, but we can influence a lot with quality care. But it will always be true that a person looks best with a smile on his face, regardless of how many wrinkles he has. Always consult your doctor before taking CBD or any dietary supplements, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medication, to avoid potential interactions and side effects.
