However, this plant’s active ingredient can restore the balance of your skin in just a few weeks.
Everything you need to know about CBD face oil
Here’s how this 100% natural ingredient is about to become a staple in your daily skincare routine.
How does CBD oil work on the face?
At Absolution, we select each of the plant’s active ingredients used in our products for the benefits they offer to your skin. Before using CBD face oil to pamper your skin daily, let’s dive into what cannabidiol is!
What is CBD oil?
CBD or cannabidiol oil is an extract derived from hemp, a plant from the cannabis family. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), another compound of cannabis sativa, CBD does not have a psychoactive effect. It does not cause euphoria nor does it alter your state of awareness. However, it is renowned for its therapeutic effects on the body and well-being. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates a whole range of physiological functions such as pain, mood, sleep and appetite. The skin is lined with receptors to which CBD attaches to deliver its benefits.
CBD oil is extracted from the flowers, leaves and stems of the hemp plant. It is then diluted in a plant oil carrier to promote its absorption and use. At Absolution, we have chosen to use CBD oil derived from hemp seeds.
In general, CBD oils are available in a variety of concentrations and formulations: capsule, topical, serum, edible product… These different forms allow users to select the method that best suits their needs. Of course, to take care of the skin on your face, a cream or oil will be a better choice.
CBD oil: is it legal?
CBD is perfectly legal in France. Unfortunately, it is affected by the bad reputation of its psychotropic cousin, THC, prohibited in France. The legality of CBD oil varies depending on the country. In the European Union, cannabidiol-based products are subject to strict regulations regarding THC levels and manufacturing methods.
In France, hemp flowers and leaves can only be grown by farmers. Pure CBD is permitted as an ingredient in cosmetic products, provided that the product’s THC content is not greater than 0.3 %2. At Absolution, we only use top quality botanical extracts. Our CBD comes from a very safe extraction process (with supercritical CO2) and contains at least 98% of cannabidiol.

Oily, dry or sensitive skin: CBD oil can help you!
CBDoil is versatile and suitable for all skin types: oily, dry, sensitive, acne-prone, mature, etc. Its natural composition and balancing properties make it a suitable product for different skin needs. The well-known endocannabinoid system regulates homeostasis, that is, the internal balance.

Are there any contraindications for CBD oil?
As a rule, CBD face oils are well tolerated. Naturally, there are some safety precautions to consider. First, it is recommended you consult a health professional before using CBD products. Indeed, some people may be sensitive to this substance. This can lead to allergic reactions or skin irritation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is not recommended you use CBD products. In addition, our soothing and purifying organic PAX face oil contains essential oil of Amyris. It is therefore preferable not to use this product while pregnant.In any event, it is important to choose high-quality cosmetics, free of contaminants and manufactured according to strict standards. The aim is to avoid any risk of adverse reactions. What you apply to your skin must be as natural as possible.
What are the benefits of CBD face oil?
CBD boasts many benefits for pain, sleep, stress or anxiety. Enriched with cannabidiol oil, it also helps maintain the skin’s beauty. Here’s everything you need to know if you want to include it in your skincare routine!
Hydration and regeneration: CBD oil deeply nourishes the skin
CBD face oil is an excellent source of nutrition for the skin. It is naturally rich in essential fatty acids such as omega 3, 6 and 9, and powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E. This nourishing action allows the restoration of the skin’s lipid balance. The epidermis therefore strengthens its protective barrier, which promotes cell regeneration. The result? The skin is suppler, softer and visibly revitalised. It will be less prone to dryness and irritations.
Anti-inflammatory effects: a natural solution for skin problems
CBD face oil is widely known for its powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It is therefore a particularly effective natural active ingredient for treating all types of skin disorders. By acting on the cannabinoid receptors in the skin, CBD helps regulate the body’s inflammatory response. This results in a reduction in redness, irritation and inflammation. Skin prone acne, eczema and psoriasis will gain relief. Its soothing properties help to calm the uncomfortable feeling. This is a great way to promote the skin’s healing process.
CBD helps prevent the signs of ageing
CBD oil is a great tool to diminish the marks of time. With its powerful antioxidant properties, CBD acts as a protective shield for the skin. It neutralises the free radicals responsible for cell damage and premature ageing. CBD helps prevent the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and other skin imperfections related to age. By promoting cell renewal, it helps to keep the skin radiant, firm and elastic. CBD oil therefore offers a natural solution to prevent the first signs of ageing and keep skin healthy and radiant at all ages, in addition to other pro-age cosmetics.
How do I integrate CBD oil into my facial care routine?
To keep skin healthy and beautiful, a well-structured daily care routine is essential.
The steps to radiant skin
Always start with thorough cleansing in the evening to remove the impurities accumulated during the day. Opt for double cleansing, starting with a make-up remover balm such as Le Baume Céleste to effectively dissolve make-up and pollutants. Follow up with a mild cleanser to remove any residual traces. This technique guarantees perfectly clean skin that’s ready to absorb the care that comes next, such as your CBD face oil.
Exfoliate – twice a month for normal to oily skin, and once a month for sensitive skin. Use a non-abrasive scrub such as La Crème Gommante to get rid of dead cells. This also helps the active ingredients penetrate the epidermis correctly.
It’s now time to give your skin a generous moisturising treatment! Spray on a moisturising toner to prepare the skin and then apply your cream. You can add a few drops of soothing organic oil such as PAX to multiply the benefits of the botanical active ingredients. Take advantage of this relaxation time to massage your face using a rose quartz Gua Sha. Your well-being is guaranteed!
Your Routine Absolution
How to properly apply CBD oil to the face?
- First, thoroughly clean your face with a mild cleanser to remove impurities and prepare your skin for the benefits of the oil.
- Then gently dry your skin by patting it with a clean towel and apply a toner.
- Next, apply 3 to 4 drops of CBD face oil to slightly damp skin, avoiding the eye area.
Gently massage the oil into your face using small circles from neck to forehead, until it is completely absorbed.
Can CBD oil be used on the face every day?
Yes, CBD face oil can be used on the face daily to take advantage of its many benefits for the skin. Remember, cannabidiol does not cause addiction, unlike other compounds of the hemp plant such as THC. Due to its nourishing, soothing and regenerating properties, CBD face oil is suitable for daily use to maintain the skin’s health and radiance. However, it’s important to choose a quality CBD oil. Also be sure to check the instructions on the product and do a skin patch test if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
Three points to remember:
- CBD oil is suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry and sensitive skin.
- It contains nourishing, regenerating, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. This is why CBD helps to treat various skin disorders such as acne and psoriasis, and also helps to reduce redness and irritation.
- CBD oil can be incorporated into your daily facial care routine, as it does not have a psychotropic effect and does not cause addiction.
