Skin damage is a natural - and mostly inevitable - part of life. Scars are the result of your body rapidly repairing to keep it protected as it heals. Whether you’re trying to protect your skin, speed up healing, or trying to alleviate some of the more severe physical scarring from an injury, we’ve got your back.
Happy Summer Solstice! It’s officially time to start embracing the summertime fun that makes the season so enjoyable. But did you know that this season is a crucial period for the healing and treatment of recent scars?
Scarring and the Sun
All scars are pink and firm to start. Over time, they become softer and lighter in color. This process can take 6 months to 2 years, or even longer. How a scar changes over time is different for everyone, depending on their skin type and the depth and location of the scar.
Scars should be carefully protected from the sun for at least 1 year after surgery or injury. Sun exposure can darken scars permanently, making them more noticeable. To protect existing scars, applying sunscreen (in every season, not just in the summer) will help stop harmful ultraviolet (UV) light from damaging the skin further.
Because it can promote and regulate collagen development, CBD can also help with a multitude of skin conditions, especially scarring.
CBD and Scarring
The skin is the largest organ of the body—and skin is also a part of the endocannabinoid system, with a large network of receptors in its various layers.
Just as they do in other systems and organs, the skin’s ECS receptors play a role in processes such as cell growth and differentiation and cellular integrity. For this reason, the skin’s ECS receptors can respond to CBD in the same way that receptors do in other parts of the body.
While many people choose to embrace their scars and proudly display them, others may want to reduce their appearance as quickly and effectively as possible.
At lost range.®, our topical CBD Skin Salve line is the perfect solution to your unwanted skin scars, chaffed skin, bug bites, and so much more. There are many different types of scars and when healing, scarring is mostly unavoidable. Our CBD Skin Salve assists in cell growth and development and may control the activity of collagen-producing cells, alleviating some of the more severe physical scarring. Apply a small amount of our Skin Salve to your problematic area and pair it with our CBD oil tinctures for best results.
Whether you’ve had a medical procedure that results in scarring or are healing from an accident, our CBD Skin Salve may be the product suited best for you.
Other Summer Skin Issues
- Acne: Sweat, oil, and bacteria can clog pores, especially in people with acne-prone skin. Heat and humidity can also create an environment for bacteria to grow in clogged pores. To prevent acne, you can try:
- Blotting: Use a clean towel or tissue to remove sweat from your face. However, wiping sweat can also irritate your skin, so avoid doing it too much.
- Washing: Wash your clothes, towels, hats, and headbands before wearing them again. You can also try washing your face twice a day with products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help unclog pores.
- Using non-comedogenic products: Look for skincare products that are oil-free and won't clog pores. Some thicker sunscreens and moisturizers can also contribute to acne.
- Dehydration: Hot weather can cause your body to lose more water, which can lead to dry, red, and irritated skin.
- Sun damage: Sun exposure can cause brown or gray spots, called melasma, to appear on your face and neck. The sun's UV rays can affect your skin's melanin pigmentation.
- Insect bites: Mosquitoes, fleas, bedbugs, spiders, and ticks can cause itchy, swollen skin when your immune system releases histamines. Insect bites are more common in the summer, and the reactions are usually easy to treat at home.
Skin Healing Salves
When the skin’s layers are damaged, the cells work to repair the injury with new collagen fibers. This produces scar tissue that looks and feels different from the surrounding skin.
CBD oil and CBD salve for skin healing has become extremely popular in recent years, and our Skin Salve is the absolute best CBD salve on the market for skin healing.
Our CBD Skin Salves can help speed up healing and recovery as a natural anti-inflammatory to the trauma your skin receives during the healing process. CBD cream and CBD oils can assist you with the tenderness, soreness, and itchiness that are associated with summer skin issues.
Apply a small amount to the affected area as recommended and pair it with our CBD oil tinctures for best results. Here are our top skincare products so you can dare to bare all summer long.
