Many of us have what can be considered our “beauty procedures.” It can be anything from strict skin care routines with different serums and toners to washing our faces with specific soaps and water. Or it can be taking care of your hair and nails with specific processes, such as a
manicure/pedicure or treating your hair to a healthy trim. Maybe even a nice trip to the spa to relax your body and refresh yourself! However you may go about it, there are always ways to improve our personal care in our day-to-day routines. One way could be incorporating CBD,
whether that be topically or internally. How can this make improvements you may ask? Well, let’s go over what CBD is and how to can help the body.

Cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD, is a non-psychoactive chemical that comes from the cannabis plant that holds many medicinal properties. It can be used either topically or internally, depending on what you’re using it for. There are different CBD products that work
better for different conditions, such as stress/anxiety and topical pains. Along with the different conditions it can help, it also comes in different forms. There are gummies/edibles, oils (or tinctures), creams and lotions, capsules or pills, and even vapes! Early studies have found that CBD may be a potential alternative to traditional medications for treating anxiety and depression. Now that cannabis is legal in most of the U.S. (medical marijuana in 33 states and recreational cannabis in 10 states, plus Washington D.C.), more people have had a chance to experience the plant in a whole new way.

What’s nice about CBD in the beauty world is that it can really help with facial care. Because of how this cannabinoid has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain killing) properties, it can help with dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, etc. CBD is also ‘sebostatic’ meaning it can help to regulate the skin’s oil production. This is why this ingredient has been showing up in a lot more body lotions, face creams, and serums. For example, if you had acne prone skin, the CBD component can highly improve the inflammation of the skin and reduce pain. CBD offers different benefits depending on the treatment. Another example being CBD being used during massage to aid deep relaxation and hypertension release. There are even facial treatments, which are excellent for calming irritated skin.

At AHS, we have a few different products to try for your beauty regimens. Such as our Kuraitv 500mg 4pk Bath Bomb, these will help you unwind add a little extra relaxation into your evening. Another being our Kurativ 50mg CBD Lip Balm, this product can improve your lip care and can give you a little dose of stress relief throughout your day. We also carry gummies to help with internal care! An example being our SoCal Peach Rings, these can help relieve immediate stress and anxiety on an as needed basis, they also give a wonderful flavor to add to
the stress relief.

Always consult a health care professional before trying CBD. We provide free consultations and have a nurse on staff if you have any questions.
