Psoriasis is a common but embarrassing skin condition that is characterized by red, itchy patches and scales that can be painful. It is caused by skin cells growing and shedding too quickly, resulting in a buildup of dry skin cells. While scientists don’t know exactly what causes psoriasis, we do know that your immune system, genetics, and lifestyle can affect whether you develop the condition and how severe flare-ups can be.
If you are one of the eight million Americans who experience psoriasis, you can help treat and even prevent flare-ups with CBD oil. Cannabinoids in CBD oil, including CBD, CBG, and CBN, were found to slow down the growth of skin cells in the outer layer of the skin as well as lessen their production of keratins, proteins that normally form the waterproof protective barrier of skin. CBD oil is also anti-inflammatory and relieves itching and pain, meaning it works fast to get you back to feeling and looking like your best.
