Natural skin care specialists are reaching for pumpkin seed oil (also called pepitas). A little bit goes a long way because it has such dense nutrition. It is extremely high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and other trace minerals and vitamins. By the same token packed, pumpkin seed oil is high in phenolic compounds, tocopherols, and sterols.⁠

When we look into the effects from the main properties of this oil, I swear the skin starts to crave it.

The 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗶𝗱𝘀 content serve as the essential building blocks of skin’s surface layers and hydrate the cells. They help create a smoother, more even, and healthy aged complexion.

𝗭𝗶𝗻𝗰 is a potent antioxidant and has calming ability with its anti-inflammatory properties. It is most noteworthy though for helping with homeostasis of the acid mantle for the skin.⁠ This means that pumpkin seed oil is creates a perfect biome for the skin.

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 is an essential for the enzymes that support DNA repair and replication. The skin loves healing magnesium that is in this oil.

𝗣𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 are becoming a topic in skin care as they are effective for skin cell renewal, as well as they stimulate elastin and collagen production. They inhibit excessive melanin synthesis as well as inhibit inflammation and neutralizes free radicals. Flavonoids comprise the largest and most diverse group of phenolic compounds in plants.⁠ Phenols and tocopherols make up approximately 60% of the pumpkin seed oils properties.

𝗧𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀 mainly have Vitamin E activity. They protect the cells membranes from light induced damage and reduce photodamage, acute and chronic. Natural forms of tocopherols also reduce skin roughness, and noteworthy they are free radical scavengers & emollients too.⁠

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀 work to keep the structural integrity of the cell membrane which helps to reduce any existing and future inflammation in the skin. Along with improving the metabolism process within the skin, and aiding in moisture retention. Sterols can be applied topically and pumpkin seed oil is where I like to find them.

We use pumpkin seed oil in our line.

Our entire line is made to works through potent plant properties have been used as ancient natural remedies. Plants work with our skin, and I believe give the cells proper nutrition and atmosphere to flourish. Pumpkin seed oil can be found in our Ageless Serum which is exactly what it’s name says. It is an anti-aging serum that diminishes age spots, fine lines and bad texture. It naturally boosts the collagen levels in the skin and brightens too. When looking for natural skin care, I highly recommend incorporating my line in to your routine. I am a master esthetician that specializes in plant based skin care.

The biological balance of the natural rhythms of life and our bodies that has a deep impact on our mental, physical, and emotional health. is called Homeostasis. ⁠
⁠
Reaching homeostasis is achieved through the the body’s endocannabinoid system, the ECS. Its a system of receptors and endocannabinoids that are found throughout the body’s connective tissues, organs, glands, the brain, and in the immune cells. It plays a complex action in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body’s organs. With its roll, the ECS plays a literal bridge between mind and body.⁠
⁠
CBD stimulates and works in unison with the ECS receptors in our bodies to optimize a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, memory, and much more.⁠

Homeostasis, the biological balance of the natural rhythms of life and our bodies, has a deep impact on our mental, physical, and emotional health. Attaining homeostasis in life, pun intended, is truly a balancing act. Finding and maintaining equilibrium in the midst of a lava flow of stress can seem like climbing mountains. However, when you reach the peak and look out over the sun setting, painting the sky with brilliant lavender and glorious orange, it feels like you’ve found paradise.

Reaching these heights is helped by the body’s endocannabinoid system. CBD works in unison with the receptors in our bodies, allowing our endocannabinoid system (ECS) to support and regulate mood, appetite, immune system, sleep cycles, and anxiety levels. This helps us achieve proper levels of health and mental clarity. CBD, derived from phytocannabinoids naturally occuring in hemp plants can help us hit this sweet spot. 

The rush of sensation we get from zipping down a hill on our bikes, the wind in our hair and the sunshine on our face, comes in part from endocannabinoids. ECS brings us to that place, creating and maintaining a healthy homeostasis for our bodies. Think of it as a hammock on a beach, gently swaying, as we listen to our favorite song. Equilibrium brings a sense of calm to our bodies and minds. To accomplish our goal of reaching paradise, we need to follow the ABC’s:

Awareness: Gain knowledge of the way homeostasis affects our bodies and lives. The condition of equilibrium presents a quandary, as it is a resistance to change in its very definition. Embrace this resistance and persevere. Only then are we on a true path to creating the healthiest version of ourselves, emotionally and physically. CBD helps our bodies reach this level by working in unison with our ECS.  

Bargaining: Be prepared to negotiate with your inner resistance to change. We must learn to accept it, survive and thrive! Just as a marathon runner pushes their body toward a faster time, pushing past their physical limits, utilizing inner strength to overcome the pain and turn it into performance, in life we must conquer fears, doubts to take on the daily challenges of change. 

Consistency: Embarking on a journey of change also requires stability. We must be mentally stable to adapt without losing all measures of comfort. Building a strong foundation is key to weathering the storm! CBD provides that structure for our bodies and brains to take on life in a calm, balanced way. Achieving that base level of homeostasis provides stability during the uproar of change. 

Like a surfer on a wave, your body is constantly shifting to keep balanced and healthy. In short, an internal self-regulating system. The endocannabinoid System (ECS) helps to maintain this balance called Homeostasis and CBD helps.

Homeostasis is the balance of all body systems and functions. Most importantly, keeps our body at an optimal state, and in tune. Being a vital part of our physical cycle in our every day lives. With CBD, the homeostasis state is nourished.

Cannabinoids are essential for our health, homeostasis, and they tie in deeply with CBD. Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids (endo, meaning internally made) that bind to cell membrane receptors, as a result, binding together like two puzzle pieces. Above all, these endocannabinoids work with receptors to encourage the balanced functions impacting appetite, sleep cycles, relaxation, and cognition. The ECS also assists in the body’s overall recovery and repair.

We can activate our endocannabinoid system by using a phytocannabinoid (phyto, meaning plant origin) called CBD from hemp pants, subsequently nourishing our cell receptors. The hemp plant has 113 known cannabinoids, and CBD is just one of them. Those cannabinoids are concentrated as resin trimchomes (hairs) on the plant.

When it comes to extracting CBD from hemp plants, the CBD molecules can be 100% isolated. Which means leaving THC molecules behind, along with the impairing effects.

In short, cannabinoids and CBD play a significant role in a homeostasis. Therefore, providing balance to our bodies. Do you get enough CBD in your daily regimen?
