What is CBD Serum and what does it do?

What does CBD Soothing Serum do and how to use it

Among all CBD topical products, CBD Serum is one of the most powerful products. Although CBD serum isn’t as well-known as other topicals such as CBD cream, CBD Lotion, a recent surge of interest in CBD facial serum has thrust this CBD topical into the public spotlight. So, what is CBD serum? 

What is CBD Serum? 

A serum is usually the second step in the basic 3-step skincare routine. For example, you use a cleanser to wash your face. Before applying a lotion or some other type of moisturizer to wrap up the routine, you’d apply facial serum to enable your skin to lock in the skincare nutrients faster and more efficiently. 

A serum, by definition, comes with a formula consisting of smaller molecules that seep through layers of skin. This helps to deliver a high concentration of active ingredients directly to the deep tissue, where causes of skin problems typically lie. This consistency makes serum one of the most powerful products to use, as it actively carries out the benefits of the active ingredients on the overall skin. Whether it’s anti-aging or pain relief, a serum gets the job done. 

A CBD serum, as its name implies, uses CBD as its major active ingredient and most likely adds some extra ingredients for extra health or cosmetic benefits. Take CBD Daily CBD Serum as an example, the compact 0.67oz size bottle packs in 60mg all-natural hemp-derived high-potency CBD oils. It is also enriched by a unique blend of natural essential oils such as peppermint oil, hemp seed oil, and avocado oil. 

What does CBD Serum do? 

What CBD Serum can do, varies from brand to brand because each brand formulates its CBD serum differently. It is true that all brands share one dominant active ingredient: CBD. Short for Cannabidiol, CBD is a natural chemical compound commonly found in the Hemp plant and the Marijuana plant. It is believed to have multiple potential health benefits including pain relief, anxiety relief, and improving insomnia. In 2018, FDA approved a drug that contains CBD as an assistant solution to treat seizures. 

There are 2 types of CBD serums out there. The first is CBD face serum, a form of skincare product that is gaining attraction and popularity within the cosmetic space. It is considered an alternative way of applying raw CBD oil to your face. CBD face serum is believed to increase the skin glow and improve overall skin health. 

The second type of CBD serum is CBD topical serum. Our CBD Daily CBD Serums (Original and Triple Strength, Mint and Lavender scent) fall into this category. Due to the peppermint oil found in the formula, CBD Daily’s CBD Serums are not recommended to be applied directly to one’s face. However, the serum does wonder when applied directly to joints, muscles, back, neck, basically anywhere that causes discomforts. Once applied, an immediate intense soothing relief will reach the deepest tissue of your muscle and relaxes the tension instantly. We especially recommend you use it in areas that are hard to reach. This rich, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy formula makes it perfect for layering with other CBD products, such as CBD Spray,  for an even more soothing sensation.   

Based on the other ingredients incorporated in the CBD serum, each serum can carry additional health benefits. For example, our CBD serum brings excellent nourishing moisturization to the skin due to the essential oils rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E, for example, Hemp Seed Oil and Avocado Oil. At the same time, peppermint oil acts as a muscle relaxant, providing further refreshment and relief to troubled areas. For veteran CBD users, you could easily step up the effect by switching up to our triple strength CBD serums. A triple strength CBD serum contains 180 mg CBD in the same 0.67oz bottle, 3 times more intensive than its original counterpart.

Which is better for your home spa? Massage oil, massage lotion, or massage candle?

Having a home spa might sound like a luxury to many people a few years ago. However, due to the impact the global pandemic brought on to our neighborhood spas, many start to lean towards drawing themselves a relaxing massage session in their bathrooms after a day’s stressful work. The ever-expanding easy-to-access massage essentials such as massage oil, massage lotion, and massage candle made this process a lot easier. Today we’re going to talk about the benefits and differences of these 3 common massage lubricants. Hopefully this article can help you decide which is a better choice for your home spa.

What is the best oil for a body massage? 

It seems pretty obvious what massage oil is. Like the name implies, massage oil is usually an organic, food-grade oil that is used to make it easier to massage the skin during the massage therapy session. The most common massage oils include Avocado Oil, CBD Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Jojoba Oil, a consumer’s favorite in recent years. 

Different oils bring different benefits to massage therapy. Take CBD Oil as an example. CBD is short for Cannabidiol, a natural chemical found in both the Hemp plant and Marjuana plant. It is often touted for its potential health benefits such as pain relief, improving anxiety and depression, and more. As of January 2021, FDA has approved CBD in one drug to treat seizures. Most of the benefits of using CBD massage oil are derived from the calming, anti-inflammatory, and soothing effects of CBD. It’s also common for brands like CBD Daily to add a few more essential oils to the formula for additional benefits such as nourishing and moisturizing dry skin.

What is the difference between massage lotion and regular lotion? 

Massage lotion and regular skincare lotion can contain similar ingredients. However, most massage lotions strive to provide smooth glides during the massage session. For example, Hemp Seed Body Care’s Hemp lotion and hemp massage lotion share the exact same ingredients, yet provide drastically different user experience.       

What is a massage candle?

Massage candles use a different wax base from regular candles. They are usually made from soy wax or beeswax and often mixed in with other essential oils such as Coconut, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and more. As it burns, the massage candle melts into a warm massage oil often rich in a blend of fatty acids and Vitamin E. Just like massage oil, massage candles can be made of natural Hemp or CBD Oils. Additionally, massage candles add the unique aromatherapy benefits to the massage experience. 

Benefits of massage oil, massage lotion, massage candle 

  1. Provide smooth glide. 

One of the biggest and essential benefits of using any of the 3 massage lubricants is providing a smoother glide during the massage therapy. The smooth glide, combined with the pressure created from the rubbing, gently penetrates the skin and carries the nourishing essential oils to deep muscle tissues and skin cells.  

      2. Added benefits from essential oils 

Furthermore, the essential oils in each lubricant add extra health benefits. For example, the CBD oil infused massage oil, lotion, & candle often provide an immediate soothing relief to people who suffer from chronic discomforts in their joints, muscles, backs and necks. A lavender oil infused massage lubricant, on the other hand, may provide a relaxation that improves the quality of sleep. 

      3. Additional aromatherapy benefits 

Most essential oils give out some type of relieving, soothing, relaxing aroma when applied to your skin. A holistic healing treatment traced back to thousands years ago, aromatherapy recently picked up steam as the new favorite in the selfcare industry. It is said to offer a wide range of potential health benefits from pain management to stress relief, from digestion improvement to weight loss.

The Endocannabinoid System: A Bridge Between Body and Mind

A Woman Sitting in Bed, Looking at a Small Black Bottle

Medication derived from cannabis is mostly in its R&D phase here in the United States, with the FDA still withholding any approvals as to its supposed therapeutic benefits. However, physicians can override the FDA and still prescribe drugs containing cannabis under the Right to Try Act to their patients, provided they’ve exhausted all other avenues and clinically approved medication.
