Discover the Benefits of CBD Oil for the Skin | Absolution
In food and cosmetics, it’s the talk of the town. CBD oil is becoming more and more popular. Derived from hemp and containing no psychotropic substance despite the clichés, this oil has multiple therapeutic effects. We don’t believe in miracles at Absolution. On the other hand, we’re convinced that nature has a lot to offer. CBD oil: a marketing trend or an organic cosmetics revolution? This article discusses CBD oil benefits and how to use CBD oil to care for your skin.
CBD – helps you fight acne
Unsightly pimples, skin redness… Acne can be difficult to live with for many people. Very common during adolescence, it sometimes persists in adults. 25% of women are affected1. Is this you? CBD oil could be an effective solution in combination with other treatments.
What are the benefits of CBD on acne?
Acne is a common skin condition. It shows in the form of skin lesions such as blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. In addition to the symptoms on the outside, this skin disease can have a serious psychological impact due to a loss of self-confidence and the scars it leaves on the epidermis. The face is affected the most in people with acne-prone skin, hence the importance of dealing with the problem.
Acne is an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicle (a structure composed of a hair and a sebaceous gland). This gland normally secretes sebum, an oily liquid that protects your skin. Unfortunately, in people suffering from acne, excess sebum is produced. Result: it becomes viscous and ends up clogging the pores. But that’s not all: dead skin cells in the same place promote the multiplication of a cutaneous bacterium that everyone has – Propionibacterium acnes. This bacterium is the cause of the formation of acne spots.

As a rule, acne appears as:
–Comedones: open (blackheads) or closed (microcysts or whiteheads). They result from the accumulation of sebum and keratin in the sebaceous hair follicles. The black dots are open comedones visible on the surface of the skin: the sebum oxidises and takes on a dark shade). White dots, on the other hand, are closed comedones located under the skin’s surface.
–Papules are inflamed red spots without pus.
–Pustules are red spots containing pus.
–The nodules are small, deep painful bumps without visible redness on the skin’s surface.
–Cysts are permanent lumps of varying sizes filled with fluid.
If you have acne-prone skin, you may have tried everything: medicines, pharmaceutical lotions, specific creams for your skincare… Have you considered applying products based on natural active ingredients to your skin? CBD is a substance that contains valuable properties for skin disorders such as acne.
How to benefit from CBD to care for your acne skin

Inflammation is a major component of acne, especially in its severe forms such as nodules and cysts. Cannabidiol (CBD) has significant anti-inflammatory benefits. This molecule interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system which is responsible for regulating inflammation. By applying oil-based CBD you can calm your skin and reduce the redness and swelling related to acne.
CBD doesn´t just have an anti-inflammatory effect. It also has antibacterial properties. In the line of fire? The famous Propionibacterium acnes bacterium is responsible for acne. Other bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, often contributing to skin infections, can also be stopped.
So, you see, acne is partly due to an overproduction of sebum. Again, CBD acts as a sebostatic agent, according to a scientific study published in 20142. It normalises sebum production and helps to maintain the skin’s hydration.
Finally, CBD oil benefits can have a positive effect on stress, which sometimes produces skin imperfections.
Slow down the signs of ageing with CBD hemp oil

Skin ageing is a natural process influenced by our genetics, but also exacerbated by environmental factors such as:
–Overexposure to the sun.
-Pollution.
-Stress.
–A lack of sleep.
–A poor diet.
–Smocking.
These contribute to an increase in oxidative stress in the body, thus accelerating the skin’s ageing due to the accumulation of free radicals.
CBD promises neuro-protective antioxidant effects. Antioxidants play a key role in the fight against premature skin ageing by neutralising free radicals. They are found naturally in many foods, but also in botanical compounds such as cannabidiol (CBD).
Relieve psoriasis thanks to the benefits of CBD oil
Does the skin on your face peel? Perhaps you suffer from psoriasis. Well-being sometimes comes down to one word: hydration.

What does psoriasis look like?
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterised by the appearance of red scaly patches. These patches are the result of an accelerated renewal of the epidermis cells. In a person with psoriasis, these cells are renewed in three days instead of a month in normal skin! This excessive multiplication leads to an accumulation of cells on the skin’s surface.
It’s not contagious, but psoriasis can have a serious impact on the quality of life of affected people due to the pain, itching and its appearance.
It can be genetic, but the disease is also triggered by factors like stress, certain medications, infections or even climate changes.
The benefits of cannabidiol on psoriasis
The anti-inflammatory effects of CBD are still in the limelight! Applying CBD oil benefits it by acting on the endocannabinoid system lining your skin. Remember, this system plays a key role in inflammation. By attaching to the receptors located on the entire surface of the epidermis, CBD helps to reduce the excess inflammatory response.
In addition, CBD can slow down the renewal of skin cells and reduce the depth of psoriatic patches. Finally, it soothes, reducing itching and the pain associated with skin lesions.
Oily skin or dry skin: find the balance
Does your face feel tight or look red? Your skin is probably dry and dehydrated. Or, maybe you have shiny skin, especially on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)? This means you probably have oily skin. In both cases, CBD oil can relieve minor skin ailments.
CBD – a sebum regulator
Sebum protects and moisturises our skin by forming the well-known hydrolipidic film. However, a small imbalance can lead to dermatological problems. Insufficient sebum production dries out the skin, making it vulnerable. On the other hand, excess sebum can lead to oily skin or different skin inflammations such as acne.
CBD can regulate this by interacting with the cannabinoid receptors of the epidermis, in particular those located in the sebaceous glands. It helps to normalise the production of sebum. The equilibrium of the hydrolipidic film is then restored. Dry skin regains moisture and elasticity, oily skin produces less sebum and is less prone to imperfections. The bonus? Non-comedogenic CBD oil, meaning it doesn’t block the pores during application, avoiding the formation of new comedones. Absolution has chosen to combine the benefits of the best CBD oil with hemp oil in our PAX oil, as it also has a comedogenicity index of zero.
A nourishing natural active ingredient from hemp
CBD oil, enriched with extract of cannabidiol, is derived from hemp seed oil, known for its richness in essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6. These nutrients maintain the elasticity and luminosity of the skin. This especially applies to mature skin that tends to lose its firmness and radiance with age.
Mixed with other plant oils, CBD forms a nourishing cocktail for dry skin.
With its moisturising properties, CBD can also help skin affected by eczema to regain suppleness and elasticity.
Sleep, stress, anxiety: the benefits of CBD oil to help you

CBD oil is known for its numerous benefits, in particular for pain management and stress, and also for sleep disorders. It soothes muscular, articular, and chronic pain. It’s even effective for painful periods.
It regulates anxiety and stress by interacting with the serotonin receptors. For sleep, CBD promotes muscle relaxation, reduces anxiety, and extends deep sleep. It is advisable to consult a health professional before integrating the best CBD oil into your routine, especially if you are taking any medication or other treatments.
How to integrate CBD oil into your beauty routine?
When you use CBD oil in your beauty routine, the choice of the product is essential.

To apply CBD oil to your skin, start by putting a few drops (usually 2 to 3 are enough) into the palm of your hands. Rub your hands to warm it up then apply to a clean and slightly damp face in circular movements to stimulate circulation and promote better absorption.
You can even add CBD oil to your usual cream to enhance its properties.
