I have a terrible sunburn. Can CBD or hemp oil help take the pain away?


Hello! I don’t have personal experience in treating sunburn with CBD, but in theory it should help reduce some inflammation of the skin and help to keep you calm while it’s healing. If you have open sores or any physical symptoms other than inflammed skin, you may want to visit a doctor. Otherwise, look for CBD products that are alcohol free and free from other chemicals that irritate your skin. Aloe is good for sunburn, too, as is staying hydrated. Prevention is the best medicine! Be sure to cover up with clothing, hats, shade, and use copious amounts of sunscreen (& reapply often) if you know you’re going to be outside!
