Despite its very recent arrival in skincare products, cannabidiol is not new. in fact, its use dates back to ancient civilizations. CBD is short for cannabidiol. The plant-based extract is what is known as a phytocannabinoid, a molecule found in the hemp plant. Unlike another well-known phytocannabinoid, THC (found in marijuana), CBD is non-psychoactive, which means it won\u2019t get you high in any application.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n The plant based CBD supports the body\u2019s own endocannabinoid system. We make our own naturally occurring cannabinoids, which is responsible for keeping your body (including your skin) in a healthy and balanced state. If the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system is out of balance, so is your complexion. It can get irritated, oily, red, dry, blemish-prone or even itchy as a result. Topical CBD helps reduce the appearance of redness and irritation, and works to calm the skin down. It\u2019s these soothing benefits that make CBD especially good for sensitive and problem skin types. Topical CBD also helps support skin\u2019s moisture barrier ( the outermost layer), helping skin hold onto its hydration. When your moisture barrier is healthy and intact, your skin may be less sensitive as irritants can\u2019t easily seep through the surface layer, and your complexion appears plumper and smoother.<\/p>\n Is all CBD created equally?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not, which means that CBD skincare products aren\u2019t equal, either. There are some differences that I want everyone to be aware of when looking for a CBD skincare product.<\/p>\n First, there are three different types of CBD used in skincare products: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and CBD Isolate.<\/p>\n With full-spectrum CBD, you\u2019re not just getting cannabidiol, you\u2019re getting other phytocannabinoid, including THC. It is unfiltered CBD. It is not known what exactly CBD and THC do for the skin.<\/p>\n With broad-spectrum CBD, the extract has gone through one filtration process. Most of the THC has been removed, but there may still be traces (even if the label claims otherwise), so that\u2019s something to consider if you\u2019d rather not apply a psychoactive substance on your skin.<\/p>\n It\u2019s only with CBD Isolate that you\u2019re getting pure CBD.<\/p>\n AmericanVanity Skincare uses CBD isolate to ensure you\u2019re getting nothing but the benefits of topical CBD. AmericanVanity\u2019s patent pending BioAdvance CBD, is a water-based CBD with 30x the penetration of regular CBD oil. Most CBD infused skincare products today are oil-based .The problem with oil based products is the CBD\u2019s topical bioavailability is very low-very little CBD makes it past the very topmost layer of skin to where it can actually do some good.<\/p>\n The collection of AmericanVanity Skincare is designed to soothe even the most sensitive complexions. Each of the products contain pure Isolate BioAdvance CBD. The collection is not only ideal for sensitive skin types, but also those who want a truly clean skincare line that incorporates CBD. Plus, it’s a calming skincare line that doesn’t skimp on efficacy. It can be used on any type of skin.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for skincare products that are made with the purest, highest-quality organic CBD, AmericanVanity will deliver visible results.
