As you probably know, CBD is 100% THC free and has some amazing potential health benefits with regular use not only orally, but topically.
Adding CBD to your relaxation routine has the possibility to help control many common ailments that affect us all such as poor sleep patterns, joint pain and local inflammation in the hands and feet, and aging skin.
We agree with many top spas in the world that adding CBD to services such as relaxation massage, manicures, and pedicures can not only add to the pampering experience that we provide but due to CBD research results, we also think it can improve your health.
How CBD Works
Our skin as well as the rest our body is filled with cannabinoid receptors naturally as we have evolved with cannabis. Ancient Egyptians wrote of its properties, as well as the Ancient Chinese.
As the skin is the largest organ in our bodies and our first defense against bacteria and viruses. Skin health and maintenance is as important as keeping our other systems in check.
How does CBD enter the skin?
CBD molecule is fat-soluble and is absorbed into the natural oils that are in our CBD SPA collection. When you apply our lotions, oils, or scrubs to your body the CBD interacts with the cannabinoid receptors that are located all throughout your skin. CBD has the capability of encouraging skin healing as well as improving your skin’s look and feel.
In addition to the natural health benefits of CBD, T.O.T CBD SPA products also contain an array of other essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids, to encourage skin health. Like CBD, Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and protects the skin’s collagen and elastin against damage from the sun and free radicals.
Why use CBD topicals?
When topical CBD products are applied right to trouble areas, CBD oil can work directly where it’s needed most. Ingesting CBD products orally causes CBD and other compounds to enter the bloodstream, which elicits full-body effects and takes up to 2 hours or more before those effects are experienced. With CBD topicals, the healing compound and other hemp-derived nutrients are almost immediately absorbed directly through your skin, allowing them to target the affected area for quicker and more focused effects.
