While the verdict is still out on the use of CBD orally during pregnancy, studies show that topical use has many benefits. CBD has shown to be an ally with properties that aid in skin elasticity, collagen production, and sooth inflammation. All of these become increasingly important as our hot girl bodies are rapidly transforming into hot mom bods. Our tummies are growing each week and many of us experience, striae gravidarum, better known as stretch marks as well as cellulite.
How does it work?
Oils and creams infused with CBD aren’t absorbed through the bloodstream. Instead, it penetrates the into the pores of the skin. And because our bodies already have an Endocannabinoid system, when applied topically, CBD interacts with the cannabinoid receptors near the application site.
Why should I try it?
With pregnancy, my body has changed and grown so much. Lately, my skin is more sensitive and everyday my body has a new ache in new place. This is due to my skin stretching and my body making room for our little bundle of joy. Thankfully, using CBD oil has helped me find the relief I need. My skin feels more nourished and less irritated and itchy. I use it on my baby bump, my hips and breast to help soothe my stretching skin and I even enjoy it when my husband uses it to massage my very sore body.
A friend of my family owns a wellness store where I found a CBD oil that I absolutely love called, OrganiCBD. Although I choose to use the product topically, this CBD oil can also be taken orally. OrganiCBD is a broad spectrum oil which means there's no trace of THC in it. The oil comes in four flavors-- lemon, peppermint, lavender and natural unflavored. Due to pregnancy, I experience extreme smell/taste aversions, so I really appreciate that there was an unflavored option. OrganiCBD comes in a 1 ounce container with a dropper. I simply apply it to the areas of my body I want and rub it in. Another great thing about the product is that it goes on clean and doesn't leave me feeling oily or sticky. This oil always leaves my skin feeling supple, soft and well-moisturized. I most definitely rate this product, PRETTI DOPE!
