1.1 Why Use CBD on Your Skin?
CBD’s proposed benefits for your skin include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Moreover, CBD can help regulate your skin’s immune response and alleviate pain symptoms. These benefits occur through the actions of CBD on cannabinoid receptors in your skin. [1] (Click to tweet)
There is rather strong evidence suggesting that dysregulation of our skin’s endocannabinoid system is thought to underlie several skin diseases. Researchers have discovered that CBD helps to improve the quality of life for those suffering from specific skin conditions. [1] (Click to tweet)
Don’t forget:
One such condition CBD can provide relief for is dry winter skin. More specifically, research on CBD has suggested that it can help alleviate acne, psoriasis, and allergic contact dermatitis symptoms. Even further, CBD may one day be considered a remedy for skin cancers, including melanoma and kaposi sarcoma. [2]

6.3 Using CBD Gummies
How much CBD is in each gummy? This will depend on how much CBD oil you use and the strength. Divide the total dose of CBD added to the recipe by the number of gummies to determine potency. Once you know how strong each one is, determine the maximum number of gummies you should have each day (to avoid overshooting your daily CBD dose). (Click to tweet)
