Discover the fascinating world of Cannabis skincare! Did you know that there are endocannabinoid receptors in skin cells, or that you can get systemic relief from transdermal and topical application?

Imagine lotions, salves, oils, sprays, and more, all infused with the power of Cannabis, working their magic by connecting with cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are like hidden gems scattered throughout your body, even within your skin, and they can be activated by your body's natural endocannabinoids or the cannabinoids found in Cannabis.

When it comes to applying cannabinoids to your skin, there are two exciting methods: topical and transdermal. Topical products offer targeted relief, staying where they're applied and not entering your bloodstream. On the other hand, transdermal topicals are equipped with a secret agent that dives through your skin, entering your bloodstream and delivering benefits to your entire body.

Alisha Diaz from Liquid Flower and the Silver Cannabis Club shares how topicals team up with your endocannabinoid system and the intriguing differences between the two product types.
