CBD Creams & CBD Lotion - Skin Care and Wellness in One Package

CBD cream is just the thing you need to keep your skin and body healthy. This isn’t your standard body cream that helps fight dry elbows, this is a superhero topical ointment that's been lab-tested by scientists in white coats! 

If you’re a skincare nut, or just want to look and feel your best, you need CBD cream in your arsenal, and Diamond CBD has an incredible selection to choose from. Whether you’re looking for pain relief creams, soothing roll-ons, or even CBD hand lotion, Diamond’s got you covered.

When most people think of CBD, they think of vapes, gummies, or even flower. They may even be aware of the potential health benefits. What many people don’t know, however, is that CBD can be used to make a topical cream that works in harmony with your body, resulting in incredibly positive effects on pain and inflammation.

What Are CBD Creams, and How Do They Work?

To better understand CBD creams, let’s look into its main active ingredient: cannabidiol, or CBD. Cannabidiol is a chemical compound that occurs naturally in the hemp plant that’s been well-document as a reliever of many ailments throughout human history. 

CBD, unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is not a psychoactive cannabinoid. THC causes the sensation of getting "high" commonly associated with marijuana, while CBD does not have mind-altering effects. This quality makes CBD an attractive option for individuals seeking relief from pain and other symptoms without the psychoactive effects of marijuana or pharmaceutical drugs.

What makes CBD creams different from other forms of CBD is how the body processes it – since creams are not (and shouldn’t be) ingested, the CBD never enters the bloodstream. As with all topical CBD products, CBD cream is absorbed by the skin and received by the body’s endocannabinoid system. This advanced system of receptors throughout your brain and body is responsible for processing and reacting to cannabinoid molecules in the body.

When the CBD molecules enter the endocannabinoid system – that’s when you’ll start to notice the positive effects of CBD cream! Pain relief, reduced inflammation, and increased blood flow are coming your way. And, this process is usually pretty quick - 15 to 45 minutes to feel the full effects.

CBD Cream vs. Other Forms of CBD

The main benefit of CBD cream and other topical CBD products is its targeted pain relief effect. A CBD vape or a CBD edible may give you subtle, whole-body pain relief. However, if you have one painful problem area, your best bet is slathering that spot up with some high-quality CBD cream. 

In other words, if your whole body aches, pop a CBD gummy. But if your elbow is killing you, go ahead and rub some CBD cream, lotion, or gel on it, and get some quick, soothing pain relief!

The other benefit of topical CBD products is how quickly they begin working. CBD gummies and other edibles can take up to an hour to show their effects, while CBD cream can provide relief in 15 minutes or less.

Finally, the convenience factor of CBD cream is unmatched. Everyone should have some kind of lotion or cream as part of their daily routine (skin care is important!), so why not switch over to a CBD lotion? You won’t have to change a thing about your process, and you’ll stay smooth, soft, and hydrated, while also gaining the wonderful benefits that come with topical CBD.

How To Use CBD Creams

Using a CBD cream is incredibly simple – just rub it into your skin wherever you’re having pain! No special preparations or crazy rituals needed. Most importantly, make sure to use a healthy amount, so you can make sure you’re getting the most soothing, pain-relieving power possible. 

However, make sure not to use too much! CBD cream works by getting into the skin, and the skin can only absorb so much cream before it’s overhydrated. In other words, this stuff is amazing - you don’t want to waste it!

The effects of CBD cream should last several hours, so feel free to reapply as needed.

How Much CBD Cream or CBD Lotion Should I Use?

The proper dose of CBD cream depends on a few things: your body weight, your level of tolerance, and how much pain you’re having. In general, more pain equals more CBD! That being said, if you’re a first time user, we recommend that you start with a lower dose to assess your tolerance, and move up from there.

Diamond CBD offers a huge variety of strengths when it comes to CBD creams. We carry creams ranging from 250mg of CBD all the way up to our most powerful extra-strength CBD cream, at a whopping 10,000 mg of CBD per jar! That’s a lot of hemp.

Additionally, we offer topical CBD products in several other varieties that are sure to please. For extra-strength targeted pain relief, this CBD Oil Roll-On comes packed with not only 1500mg of CBD, but menthol and lidocaine, for the soothing relief you need. The CBD Biotech Roll-On is specially designed for joints, your knees and elbows will sing your praises!

If you’re looking for quick pain relief, but you’re afraid of getting high from these products, let’s put those fears to rest. All of our CBD cream products are made with CBD Isolate, which is completely free of any THC. 

CBD Isolate is a purified form of CBD oil that does not contain any of the other cannabinoids extracted from the hemp plant – only pure cannabidiol. These products will help soothe your pain, but not because you’re too high to notice it!

In conclusion, if you have chronic joint or muscle pain, skin inflammation, or you’re just looking for a kick-ass skin care product, you need one of Diamond CBD’s CBD creams!
