CAN CBD BE ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN? . (Before I answer take a look at the after photo to see how calm her skin is after our facial. I did a 1000mg of CBD mask with hemp derived cannabis saliva oil/oregano oil to treat). . Answer is: Yes, BUT it’s important to understand it does not enter the bloodstream when applied topically. CBD will connect with our very own cannabinoid receptors in our body.... . Ongoing research suggests CBD in skin care can help the following conditions: . 1. Acne: By reducing inflammation and redness CBD oil for skin is able to improve the look and feel of acne prone skin. (In addition, CBD acts as a hormonal balancer, this suggests that CBD can potentially decrease excess sebum oil production; helping reduce the likelihood of future breakouts). 2. Anti-aging & fine lines/wrinkles- CBD is well known for its antioxidant properties. By offsetting free-radical damage; free radicals cause collagen to break down faster, so ultimately antioxidants are also helping to slow down the process of collagen loss . 3. Psoriasis-can help reduce the effects of this disease while providing relief from itchiness/irritation. . 4. Sensitive Skin-CBD is known for its soothing properties. CBD oil for skin can help reduce redness, inflammation and reactivity that may be related to skin sensitivity or environmental stressors. . 5. Eczema- may help the skin re-establish or maintain homeostasis, the result, in this case, being a reduction in symptoms associated with eczema . Although the research relating to CBD and its health benefits is in its early stages. CBD research continues to suggest that CBD can be beneficial in several ways. It’s important to assess the quality of CBD products by paying close attention to how it was supplied and manufactured. . I recommend using a CBD isolate; meaning it is completely absent of ingredients that can potentially cause CBD to be ineffective. .

EASY anti-aging complexion tutorial . If you’re going to wear makeup, might as well make it beneficial .

I used the oil to prep my face, mixed it with foundation and added it to my lips .

Bugs on your skin?! Yes! . Let’s talk about the skin’s microbiome . The skin’s microbiome aka the skin’s flora is quite simply all those little microorganisms living on the skin. We all have trillions of these little bugs inhabiting our skin and they are essential to our well being. ... . Why are they essential? . 1. They communicate with our immune system 2. Protect us against infection 3. Tempers inflammation 4. Protects us from environmental aggressors . Just like our gut’s microbiome suffers when we take an excess amount of antibiotics, ditto for the skin microbiome. . Excess use of antimicrobial hand sanitizers and soaps contributes to skin dysbiosis and antibiotic resistance, thus stoking various skin conditions, research shows. An imbalanced microbiome, or skin dysbiosis, is associated with many health conditions, including psoriasis, allergies, eczema, contact dermatitis, acne, poor wound healing, skin ulcers, dandruff, yeast and fungal infections, rosacea, and accelerated skin aging. . What you put on your skin and what you put on your body affects the microbiome . 1. Don’t over clean. The biome prefers a ph level of about 5. Soap is alkaline is has a ph level of about 10. Over cleansing damages the biome and can lead to more skin issues. . 2. You are what you eat. The gut’s microbiome affects our skin’s as well. The gut-acne connection is strong: "The lines of communication, as mediated by gut microbes, may be direct and indirect, but ultimately influences the degree of acne by a systemic effect on inflammation, oxidative stress, glycemic control, tissue lipid levels, pathogenic bacteria, as well as levels of neuropeptides and mood-regulating neurotransmitters." . What can you do? . 1. Eat healthy 2. Identify and remove trigger foods 3. Take care of your gut(probiotics) .

I felt like a princess and Lori & Matt from @prettybranchphotovideo captured some pretty magical moments (Needless to say, we had to bring them to Sequoia for our elopement a year later lol) .... Ahhhh a trip down memory lane... . #myhubby#engagementphotos#temecula#southcoastwinery#precovid#memorylane#sunflare#vineyards#temecula#engagement#temeculawineries See more

Hunnies, just a reminder that great skin doesn’t happen in one appointmentAlthough results are always visible, the journey to great skin is truly a commitment. . Trust me, I get how annoying it can be! I get we are tired at night and taking off makeup the proper way can seem daunting. I may have also skipped a facial or two in the past and neglected my skin care and self care routine. And ohhhh, don’t get me started with drinking water lol! I love my coffee, but we have to h...ydrate every day! . Great skin is a result of lifestyle, diet, home care, and the regular assistance of a great skin therapist . #esthetician#skincare#facials#goodskindoesntjusthappen#selfcare#diet#lifestyle#drinkwater#takeyourmakeupoffbeforebed#seeyouresthetician See more
