Are you wondering about the benefits and uses of CBD topicals? Learn how countless people have found relief using CBD-infused topicals. 

Discover more about how CBD topicals work, the top uses of CBD topicals, and why more people than ever are switching to CBD-infused lotions and crèmes.

About CBD Creams

CBD Topicals are made with CBD from UK Hemp plants and are formulated into various types of crèmes, lotions, and salves for transdermal application.

Infused crèmes and salves use the powerful anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating properties of CBD, or cannabidiol, found naturally occurring in the Hemp plant. 

Topicals are applied directly to the skin and absorbed into the immediate area where they work together with the bodys innate system for balancing health and wellness, the endocannabinoid system. 

The skin, or epidermis, utilizes endocannabinoids made in the body to control and regulate nearly every aspect of skin health including 

  •     Growth and death of skin cells 
  •     Overall skin health
  •     Inflammatory response
  •     Pain perception
  •     Skin tone and firmness

This system is called the cutaneous endocannabinoid system and research shows CBD helps to boost and activate its functioning. 

How CBD Topicals Work

CBD topicals work by interacting both directly and indirectly with specialized receptor cells located within the peripheral nervous system. 

The beneficial hemp compounds interact with the receptor cells to block the release of inflammatory compounds such as cytokine and chemokine. 

Research studies show that immune cells have cannabinoid receptors (CB2) on their cell wells. This indicates that the endocannabinoid system plays a vital role in regulating the functioning of the immunological responses such as inflammation.

Further experiments have revealed that CBD interacts with several other types of receptor cells in the body that influence aspects of muscle stiffness and spasticity, as well as nervous system functioning and other bodily functions. 

All of these factors combined indicate a tremendous value for the use of CBD Topicals for skin-related issues.

Best Uses for CBD Topicals

Thousands of people using CBD Topicals are reporting incredible relief from symptoms related to various types of skin health issues. 

Psoriasis and eczema sufferers are benefiting from CBDs incredible anti-inflammatory properties. Less inflammation with CBD Topicals means less painful itchiness and redness of the skin. 

People enduring chronic joint pain and muscle pain report great relief with CBD roll-ons, topicals, and rubs. CBD helps calm pain receptors and reduce painful inflammation around swollen and stiff joints and muscles.

To use CBD topicals most effectively they should be applied frequently. The skin can only absorb so much CBD at once, with an onset of about 15-30 minutes for the effects of CBD topicals to begin. 

Because CBD Topicals dont pass directly into the blood stream and are absorbed into the skins tissues, it needs to be reapplied as needed for best results. 

The most common forms of transdermal applications for infused crèmes or lotions, but you can also find it available in other forms including,

  • CBD Lip Balm UK
  • CBD Transdermal Patches UK
  • CBD infused crèmes

Always make sure your CBD Topicals include all-natural ingredients and are free from any potential contaminants or toxins. For legal CBD in the EU or UK, be sure your CBD Topicals is low in THC.
