Does CBD benefit the skin?

CBD in the use of skin care products has been well hyped since at least back in 2014. This even takes me back to 2010, when the Hemp Network was starting to get off of the ground, but ended up not going very far.

Back in ’14, I was one of the founding members of a well known multi-level marketing company from MJNA called Kannaway.
