One of the great things about CBD is that it can be used in so many different ways. One way a lot of athletes and active people like to use it is in roll-on form. A CBD roll-on can come in really handy when you're struggling with sore muscles or tired joints. Here are some tips to guide you as you begin using a CBD roll-on product.

Check whether the roller contains any additional cooling or warming ingredients.

One small downfall of CBD is that it does take a few minutes to kick in when used topically. A lot of CBD companies counteract this by adding some extra ingredients to their CBD roll-on formulas. Menthol is a common one; it causes a cooling sensation almost immediately upon application. Capsaicin is another one; it causes a warming sensation. Read the label to see whether your CBD roll-on contains either of these ingredients so you know what you can expect to feel when rolling it on.

Let the area dry after application.

CBD roll-on products are formulated to be absorbed quickly, but they do still take a few minutes to absorb. If you apply clothing or a bandage over the area too soon after application, the CBD will just be absorbed into the clothing and won't do as much for your body. So, make sure you let the application site dry completely after applying the CBD.

Be conscious about how much you are using.

Some of the CBD you roll on will be absorbed into your bloodstream. So, you want to be careful not to use too much. If you do use too much, you may feel a little fatigued and less energetic. Most CBD roll-ons will come with recommendations as to how often you should use the product. If you find that the CBD is wearing off too soon and you're having to apply it way too often, you may not be rolling on enough each time you apply. Try using a somewhat larger dose, but spacing your applications out a bit more. This can take some trial and error to find the perfect "dose" that gives you relief without drowsiness. 

Using a CBD roller is a great way to get relief from muscle pain, soreness, or even arthritis. Follow the tips above for more effective use of your CBD roller. They're an excellent tool for adults of all ages.
