Welcome back, my skincare lover!

Today I’m sharing something a little different. We’re going to look at CBD oil and its benefits in skincare, and learn about the beautiful CBD face cream I’m currently using from trusted CBD market leaders, Dragonfly CBD.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of CBD oil and its benefits when taken orally, but did you know that CBD oil also makes a fantastic skincare ingredient?

What is CBD oil?

CBD (short for cannabidiol) is naturally contained within the cannabis plant. It’s a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it doesn’t get you “high”. It’s not to be confused with another popular cannabis-in-skincare product, hemp oil, which is actually extracted from the seeds of the cannabis plant.

The component of cannabis that gets you high – THC, has been selectively bred out of the cannabis plants used in CBD production, then any traces are carefully extracted from the final CBD before use in skincare applications.

Any skincare that doesn’t wash off is a great way to try CBD topically.

How does CBD oil help when applied topically?

CBD oil is a fairly new product, but there is some research to suggest it reduces inflammation when applied topically. This makes it worth a try for inflammaging skin condition like acne, psoriasis, and eczema.

It’s also a strong antioxidant, so using CBD topically may help to prevent oxidative stress, that is, it’s anti-ageing.

CBD is also skin soothing, and works to reduce sensitivity, redness, and reactivity.

Why choose Dragonfly CBD?

Dragonfly CBD is the UK’s best selling CBD brand and was awarded Boots UK’s “Best CBD Product 2020”. All their CBD products are THC-free, GMP-manufactured, vegan, and organically grown.

I started using Dragonfly CBD Face Cream a couple of weeks ago. Would you like to know how we’re getting on? Let’s learn!

Dragonfly CBD Face Cream

Dragonfly CBD Hydrating Face Cream promises to protect your skin from the damaging effects of everyday harm, and fits into your daily routine perfectly.

I love that it contains some really beautiful skin loving ingredients such as protective cocoa butter, and conditioning argan and avocado oils for soft and smooth skin. Importantly, it’s enriched with hand-crafted CBD from Cannabis Sativa.

This cream is a really easy way to incorporate CBD into your daily skincare routine!

My experience using Dragonfly CBD Face Cream

The face cream comes in a large plastic tube with Dragonfly CBD’s distinctive branding. The pump action bottle is contained within a large cardboard carton. There is a lot of packaging, but on the plus side the product is well protected.

I definitely recommend keeping it in the original packaging in a dark place, since the bottle is clear and sunlight could destroy the precious qualities of the CBD inside.

I reach for Dragonfly CBD Face Cream mostly in my AM routine but you can use it in your PM routine. The cream is thick, white, and fragrance-free, but has a delicately medicinal aroma.

It sinks in quickly to leave a very soft and non-shiny finish. Instantly my skin looks well hydrated and feels comfortable. My wrinkles are plumped out and any irritation is calmed.

I’ve been using mine during a period of upping my anti-ageing game. I’ve been starting to use retinol and acids more frequently and let me say it can be a bumpy road. But this gorgeous hydrating and cushioning cream seems to calm and drench my skin in moisture.

I even use mine as a hand cream occasionally in the day, since as a stay at home mum, my hands get very irritated from washing up and laundry. My eczema prone hands are greatly soothed. I really love this face cream!
