Learn about the different types of CBD topical products and how to choose the right one for your skincare routine.

Exploring Topical CBD Products

CBD topical products are applied directly to the skin as part of a cosmetic skincare routine. They come in a variety of formats, each with different textures and ingredients.

How CBD Topicals Are Used

CBD topicals are designed for external use on the skin. They are applied to the skin's surface and massaged in, just like any other skincare product.

Topicals are a popular choice for:

  • Daily skincare routines
  • Post-exercise skin care
  • Exfoliation and skin renewal
  • Nourishing dry or rough skin

Types of CBD Topicals

Creams: Lighter texture, absorbs quickly, often includes additional skincare ingredients.

Balms: Thicker consistency, creates a protective barrier, ideal for very dry areas.

Scrubs: Combines CBD with exfoliating ingredients for skin renewal.

What to Look for in a CBD Topical

Not all topicals are created equal. Consider:

  • CBD concentration: Check the product label for CBD content per container
  • Additional ingredients: Look for complementary botanicals and skincare actives
  • Quality: Third-party testing ensures what's on the label is in the jar
  • Texture: Choose based on your preference and use case

How to Use CBD Topicals

1. Clean the area first

2. Apply a generous amount

3. Massage in circular motions

4. Allow time to absorb

5. Reapply as desired

Building a CBD Skincare Routine

Many people enjoy using multiple CBD products as part of their daily routine:

  • Morning: A light CBD cream to start the day
  • Post-exercise: Apply after showering to freshly cleansed skin
  • Evening: Use a CBD scrub before moisturising for soft, renewed skin

This combination approach makes CBD a versatile addition to your skincare collection.
