How to Use Hemp Topical Cream in Your Daily Skincare Routine

There are many amazing benefits to the use of hemp in all its various forms. While many people enjoy the benefits of cannabinoids by ingesting edibles, oils, tinctures, or inhaling CBD by vaping, dabbing or smoking, but many have found that CBD can also be added to moisturizers and creams and be applied topically. Topical CBD is a great option for anyone looking for an easy way to incorporate CBD into their day. Topical CBD has about an hour onset time, meaning it does take a while to feel the effects normally associated with CBD. Once applied, effects can last anywhere from an hour to 6 hours.

The Types of Topical CBD Cream to Consider

When choosing a topical CBD cream, you have the choice of full spectrum or broad spectrum CBD. Broad spectrum CBD contains most cannabinoids, but not Delta 9 THC. This is a great option for people who are exceptionally sensitive to Delta 9 THC, but it doesn’t provide all of the benefits of full spectrum CBD. Full spectrum hemp extract contains a maximum of 0.3% hemp-derived Delta 9 THC, although many full spectrum CBD products contain less than .3%. We recommend full spectrum CBD over broad spectrum CBD. The reason behind this is the entourage effect.

What is The Entourage Effect?

The entourage effect is the synergistic action of all natural cannabinoids working together in the endocannabinoid system. Except for people with exceptionally low tolerance, .3% or less Delta 9 THC should not result in a head-high.

Using Topical CBD Cream

Topical CBD cream is used the same way any other skin cream is used – you apply it directly on top of your skin. Regular moisturizers and creams are used to hydrate your skin. Quality hemp topical creams function identically to regular skin creams, with the added benefits you can expect from CBD products. You’ll find many of the same ingredients like shea butter and aloe vera in CBD creams.
