Now that medicinal use and even recreational use of marijuana is becoming legal in an increasing number of states, you probably already know that substantial evidence exists that cannabis products have significant health benefits. However, you may not yet be aware that topical applications of the stuff can provide you with a beauty boost as well. Following are just three of the many ways that cannabis oil can enhance your natural good looks. 

Smooths Rough Patches

Cannabis oil is a light, dry oil that doesn't leave a greasy residue on your skin or clothing, making it an ideal product to use to smooth rough patches such as elbows, heels, and knees. Simply rub a small amount into the affected area after bathing, showering, or before you go to bed and night. You should start seeing results within a week or so if your practice this regularly. 

Helps Decrease Acne Flare-ups

Cannabis oil has been found to be instrumental in decreasing the intensity of acne flare-ups and perhaps even eliminating them altogether. The serious anti-inflammatory properties of the oil keep what acne flare-ups that do occur short and sweet, while the exfoliating properties of the oil keep pores clean and clear, which is an essential part of minimizing breakouts and blackheads. Antioxidants are also present in abundance in cannabis oil, and these fight free radicals that lead to a variety of adverse skin conditions, acne included. You can either purchase creams and lotions that contain the oil or apply it directly to the skin. Many people prefer creams and lotions because they're blended with other beneficial ingredients, while others find that applying the oil directly to the skin produces desired results. 

Helps Decrease Fine Lines and Wrinkles 

The same exfoliation and free-radical fighting properties of cannabis oil that help keep acne flare-ups in check are also effective in fighting surface signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains lanolin acid, which plumps the skin and helps keep pores hydrated. As with products designed to fight acne, you can choose between creams, lotions, balms, or straight oil. Many people find it advantageous to use a combination of various products -- for instance, they may choose to do a weekly or bi-weekly hot oil treatment on their skin and and supplement that on a daily basis with otters preparations. Cannabis oil also improves the elasticity of the skin and provides a protective layer against environmental damage.

Helps Tame Frizzies in the Hair 

Another way to use cannabis oil to enhance your appearance is to give hair hot oil treatments. You can either heat the oil on a double boiler on the stovetop, taking care not to let it come to a boil, or heat it up in the microwave. Apply it liberally to the hair, and then wrap your head in a warm towel to hold heat in for as long as possible. You can also apply the oil while it's at room temperature, wrap your head in Saran wrap or other food service film, and apply heat via a blow dryer  -- however, you'll have to remember to keep moving the blow dryer to different locations on your head to prevent any one spot from becoming overly hot. Conditioners and shampoos containing cannabis oil are also available. Some people with very thick and frizzy hair find it beneficial to use a very small amount of cannabis oil as a styling product -- simply place a drop or two in your palm, rub your palms together, and distribute it throughout your hair.  Reach out to a supplier for more tips and tricks on enhancing your beauty using cannabis oil.
