With the information about the health benefits of CBD making headlines almost everywhere, it is essential to understand that even celebrities have not been left behind in advocating for the use and even legalization of these products. Many of these stars consider CBD products as safe and effective alternative medications for various health conditions. Besides, some of the celebrities also admit that they have been using CBD products to maintain their wellbeing and health.

Studies have shown that CBD and other products extracted from cannabis plant help in relieving body pain, sleep disorder, epilepsy, and anxieties as well as many other ailments. Moreover, CBD is free of a psychoactive effect that is associated with other cannabis compounds such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the other primary active compound found in this plant. It is thus safer for consumption as compared to THC as it does not make users to get high.

According to Ildi Pekar, a celebrity and an expert in face beauty therapy, CBD (especially hemp-derived), is an active ingredient in most beauty products as it contains omega-rich elements and a powerful antioxidant.
