How does Cannabis help with Skin Problems?

It is cannabis’ anti-inflammatory properties that prove to be helpful in managing skin conditions. Cannabis compounds, especially THC and CBD, can reduce inflammation in the body thus providing relief from soreness and itching.

Cannabis formulations can significantly improve acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In the case of vitiligo, cannabinoids may help regulate the function of melanocytes, the cells that give skin colour.

While melanoma is chronic skin cancer, CBD and THC can help prevent the growth of cancerous skin cells. These can also help relieve pain, reduce nausea, stimulate appetite, and assist in peaceful sleep.

CBD, a cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, has anti-inflammatory properties.

Regulated Oil Production

Cannabinoids help maintain and regulate sebum production in the skin. It reduces inflammation, clears out clogged pores, and neutralises free radicals.

Regulated oil production helps in improving skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and small red bumps on the skin.

Improved Skin Colour

Some research suggests that CBD regulates the function of melanocytes, the cells that give skin its colour.

This helps in managing conditions that affect the pigmentation of the skin. Some common ones include vitiligo, macular stains, melasma, pigmented birthmarks, etc.
