Is CBD in Your Skin Care Routine?

CBD has a variety of health benefits. One of the most often talked about – CBD and skin.  Just take a trip to any beauty counter, and you’ll see that CBD is a darling of the skincare world, and with good reason! Cure Crate carries various CBD skin care products formulated to encourage healthy and glowing skin and make an impact.

Cure Crate shares the scoop on what they are doing to your skin and how: 

How CBD Works on the Skin – The first topic to explore is how CBD and the endocannabinoid system works.  The simple version is that our body contains a system of endocannabinoids that the body naturally produces to regulate functions such as appetite, sleep, pain, and inflammation. The cannabis plant contains compounds known as phytocannabinoids, which have various effects on the body and impact the endocannabinoid system. CBD is one of the most well-known of these compounds.

CBD is Anti-inflammatory – The fact is a lot of things that negatively impact skin health are caused by inflammation. Inflammation can lead to redness, worsen acne, psoriasis, itchiness, and general unhealthiness of the skin. CBD has shown effectiveness in research as being a protective agent against neuroinflammatory disorders. These anti-inflammatory effects have also proven helpful against inflammatory skin disorders.

Adding CBD to your skincare routine is a great way not just to help you battle skin issues like acne and psoriasis but help you put your best face forward! Here are some of our favorites that we feature in Cure Crate: 

  • Sheet Mask – Collagen Sheet Mask by Mantra

  • Facial Serum – Glowing Face Serum by Vertly

  • Face Mask – Chamomile Face Mask by Hugs

  • Lotion – Bergamot lotion by Empower CBD

  • Lip Balm – Lip balm by Highline Wellness

  • Eye Treatment – CBD Under Eye Patches by MASK

Get Darker, Stronger, Longer Lashes with Beverly Hills MD’s Lash Enhancing Serum

Because…Who doesn’t want longer, stronger, darker, healthier and more beautiful lashes?
Created by two of Beverly Hills’ top celebrity plastic surgeons, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour, Beverly Hills MD Lash Enhancing Serum is a revolutionary formula made with MP-17. This is a signal peptid supporting natural keratin production to help your lashes grow in looking darker, longer, thicker & denser.

lash serum product

The secret is a proprietary blend of natural conditioners and strengthening compounds which safely work to promote healthy hair growth by supporting keratin production and reducing fallout. Many other lash treatments employ prostoglandins as their active ingredients. Prostoglandins are effective at helping lashes grow longer, but are also associated with several potential side effects. Instead, Beverly Hills MD’s Lash Enhancing Serum is formulated with MP-17, a signal peptide that supports natural keratin production to help you naturally build lashes that look long, thick, dark, and dense.

Beverly Hills MD’s Lash Enhancing Serum key ingredients are: Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17  supports healthy keratin production, allowing the body to produce long, full lashes. Sodium Hyaluronate moisturizes lashes and lash line for a softer, less brittle feel and Milk Protein supports and nourishes lashes to help reduce breakage.

6 Unique Health Products

Staying consistent with your fitness routines can be a daunting task. You know the importance of working out, burning those calories, and cutting down on the extra kilograms. However, it takes a lot of motivation and inspiration to follow through with your fitness routines consistently. 

Whether your fitness goals include drinking more water, building muscles, or reducing a sedentary lifestyle, there are many interesting products to get you started. These products can make workouts effective and an activity to look forward to rather than a time to dread. They offer some motivation and help you follow through with your routines.  

  1. Smart Water Bottles

Studies show that the recommended daily water intake for men is 3.7 liters and 2.7 liters for women based on varying conditions such as exercise and temperature. Regular water intake keeps body temperature normal, protects sensitive tissues, and keeps joints well lubricated. As obvious as this sounds, people still struggle to drink enough water. However, there are smart water bottles that have made this task more fun. 

People often forget to drink water because they are engrossed in work. There are smart bottles that track drinking activity and even glow to remind users to drink. The bottle is connected to an app through Bluetooth. It has sensors that monitor how much you drink and relay to your phone. 

Some bottles even calculate your hydration needs based on your activity level. Others have UV-C light technology that removes bacteria that remains after washing. Some smart bottles are powered by SPE/PEM technology that converts water to hydrogen water, which has better mineral absorption and aids muscle recovery. For your outdoor activities, some are fitted with Bluetooth speakers. 

  1. Balance Board

A balance board is a great product for improving balance and coordination. There are different boards to choose from: rocker boards, wobble boards, sphere-and-ring boards, among others. It helps in strengthening muscles, especially for recuperating athletes. It also comes in handy in building the core. 

It helps to improve the lower leg muscles and lower body stability. The board helps improve motor skills and reduces the chances of ankle injuries. A balance board is often used to train the tendons, muscles, and ligaments for better balance in the ankle region.  

  1. Shoe Lights

Research shows that night exercise helps improve sleep. It is also a good way to end the day and could serve as a form of meditation before you relax for the night. Some individuals prefer night running because of tight schedules, to improve their eating habits, or just to clear their heads. 

Whatever your reason is, you need to be careful and stay visible. Shoe lights help you stay visible at night and help cars and other road users see you on time. Shoe lights give you about 30 feet more visibility at night and come in handy for all weathers. Also, compared to early morning runs, where you rely heavily on your vision, night running involves your proprioceptive skills, helping increase blood flow to your legs. 

  1. Turmeric Snacks

Turmeric has amazing health benefits that make it a must-have superfood. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties that help prevent arthritis and improve joints functioning. There are turmeric bars, crackers, and even gummy vitamins containing turmeric that make it easy to access these health benefits. 

It is often difficult to get all the nutrients the body needs from food, hence the need for supplements. Supplements cushion this effect and provide all the body needs by combining various foods and nutrients. Research also shows that curcumin, the medicinal ingredient in turmeric can also reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease

  1. Smart Scales

As you progress through your fitness journey, you will want to take measurements of your progress and record some key metrics. These include muscle mass, body mass index, body fat mass, and more. Smart scales help you do this, and even better, you can record all these on an app. 

It also compares your data against recommended level for your age and gender. Some allow you to track data for multiple users and can connect to other third-party apps. 

  1. Air Quality Monitor

This phone-like device makes it possible to track particles in the air. This can be very helpful for those with allergies, as they can quickly detect a polluted environment. It also has a weather sensor that monitors the temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. For those with respiratory conditions, it helps to prepare for outdoor workouts sessions adequately.

New Approach, More Energy

In today’s age and time, workouts are easy to find and more engaging. There are a plethora of products and gadgets you can take advantage of to improve your health while still having fun. Rejuvenate your workout sessions with these products and enjoy more rewarding sessions.
