Topical application of CBD by using a CBD lotion, salve, or cream is a popular method that can help alleviate muscle pain soreness, arthritic joint pain/inflammation, and various skin conditions. CBD is a very powerful antioxidant (even more powerful than vitamins C and E) and can be a great addition to your daily skincare routine. CBD has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects on the body that can protect us from free radical damage and reverse signs of aging.
