Skincare is so important for protection, youth, and to prevent acne and other uncomfortable skin conditions. CBD topicals can be used to target and relieve specific areas of pain or discomfort. While other CBD products like CBD edibles, CBD capsules and CBD flower can be great for achieving wellness and relieving symptoms throughout the body, topicals can be applied directly on the area affected by discomfort or pain.

CBD-infused topical skincare products include creams, lotions, balms and more. Topicals can include essential oils, amino acids and other ingredients to help to moisturize your skin. There are a number of application methods available, such as roll-ons, creams and sprays. Simply pick the easiest option to incorporate in your daily routine. You may feel relief soon after applying a topical, but it is suggested to continue use for up to 30 days to gauge the effectiveness.

Topicals are popular with people looking for exercise recovery, relief from general muscular and joint pain, people living with chronic conditions like arthritis, and those looking for natural skincare products. Topical CBD products are not recommended for oral use, and you should consult your physician before using on an open wound.

What is the best use of CBD topicals?

Topicals are best used for support and recovery. Most topical creams, lotions, balms, etc., contain active ingredients such as menthol combined with CBD and other natural botanicals like camphor, making them ideal for minor joint and muscle aches and pains.

How long will CBD topical effects last?

The duration of effects from CBD products varies from person to person, and the same is true with topicals. Effects can depend on the size of the treatment area, your pain threshold and the level of discomfort. You should apply as much topical as needed.

What is an effective CBD topical amount?

Again, there is no right or wrong answer. We suggest using a generous amount and steadily increasing the amount until you start to feel the therapeutic and soothing benefits. And as with any topical product, stop use if you develop a rash or reaction.

How do you apply CBD topicals?

Wash and dry the treatment area, then apply a generous amount of topical cream or lotion, and massage it into the skin until fully absorbed. Cleansers and body washes should be used as you would a typical product, but try to leave the product on your skin for a few minutes before rinsing.
