Summering av endocannabinoidsystemets funktion i huden - 1753 SKINCARE
Briefly what the endocannabinoid system is responsible for when it comes to the skin:

Regulation of inflammation: The endocannabinoid system plays a role in regulating inflammatory responses in the skin. By affecting the immune system, it can help reduce excessive inflammation.

Sebum production:
The endocannabinoid system can affect sebum production in the sebaceous glands of the skin. This may be relevant to managing skin conditions such as acne, where overproduction of sebum plays a role.

Cell growth and differentiation:
The endocannabinoid system is involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation in the skin. It can affect how skin cells develop and renew.

Pain relief:
The endocannabinoid system can help relieve pain in the skin by affecting nerve endings and pain receptors.

Skin barrier function:
The endocannabinoid system may play a role in supporting the skin's protective barrier by influencing the production of lipids and other substances important for skin integrity.

Moisture balance:
By regulating the activity of the sweat glands and influencing moisture levels (through the skin cells' own production of hyaluronic acid), the endocannabinoid system can help maintain a healthy moisture balance in the skin .

Wound healing:
The endocannabinoid system can affect wound healing by regulating inflammation processes and promoting the growth of new skin cells.

Neurogenic function:
It can affect neurogenic function in the skin, which is relevant to the interaction between the nervous system and the various functions of the skin.
