CBD oil may help prevent wrinkling in additional ways, including:
Acting as an Antioxidant
Antioxidants are compounds that help stop the activity of free radicals in the body, thus preventing cell damage. In this case, CBD may help avoid wrinkling skin by reducing free radicals’ activity on your skin’s tissues and cells. Such free radicals cause an accelerated breakdown of collagen. As such, CBD helps slow down the process of collagen loss as you age. Ultimately, this could help prevent wrinkles and maintains a firm and youthful skin appearance.
Preventing Skin Inflammation
From a skincare perspective, inflammation and skin irritation causes your body to release agents that can damage the skin’s structural components, including elastin and collagen. This, in turn, results in skin wrinkling.
CBD’s suggested anti-inflammatory properties may relax and soothe your skin. This helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, making them less apparent as you age
Promoting Oil Secretion
Oil glands tend to lose productivity with age, which results in dry skin. And studies show that endocannabinoids and oil production may be related. Therefore, we believe that CBD oil could have a significant effect on the sebaceous glands’ oil excretion. This way, CBD oil combats wrinkles by promoting oil secretion, keeping your skin hydrated, supple, and looking young.
Reducing Stress
While this may not be an age-related factor, wrinkling can also be caused by excess stress and prolonged periods of anxiety. The effects of stress on the skin often become visible over time. CBD is known for its relaxing and mood-uplifting properties, and CBD oil may, therefore, be effective at reducing stress levels.
Better Sleep
Quality sleep goes a long way in maintaining smooth facial skin and an overall youthful appearance. Insufficient or poor-quality easily causes facial wrinkles, especially eye wrinkles. While CBD oil may not directly help eliminate these wrinkles, it could help prevent them from forming by helping you sleep better.
Healing Damaged Skin
CBD may also affect skin cell regeneration. Skin cells can be damaged by external factors such as pollutants and prolonged exposure to the sun. CBD oil can help generate new skin cells, which keeps your skin in good shape. With optimal oil production, the skin stays moisturized and supple.
