Hemp Oil for your skin - the latest Beauty Trend

Let's start with what hemp oil is?

Hemp oil s made from cold pressed hemp seeds, while CBD oil is extracted from the leaves of the hemp plant. It has a lighter texture than other natural oils and can be absorbed quickly by our skin. Hemp oil is rich in omega-3-6-9 fatty acids, which are responsible for the antioxidant, antiseptic and antimicrobial effects on our skin. Gamma-linolenic acid - one of the essential fatty acids - is very rarely found in plants and can be used to treat skin conditions like neurodermatitis and psoriasis. Hemp oil is also rich in vitamins A, C and E, which provide powerful anti-aging properties and keep our skin hydrated and protected from environmental aggressors. Hemp oil is gaining popularity as an ingredient in natural cosmetics, as along with its  fast-absorbing light consistency, it is also naturally non-comedogenic meaning: it will not clog your pores. Hemp oil is suitable for all skin types.

How do hemp skincare products work?

Its silky-smooth texture is not the only reason hemp oil is trending in the beauty & wellness community. The popular oil also serves as a natural remedy for a variety of skin diseases, while keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized without leaving an unpleasant shine on your face.

The antioxidant effect of hemp seed oil in skincare products helps to reduce inflammation and soothes irritated skin. Its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties kick-start a quick healing process for pimples, other blemishes and small wounds. When used topically (externally), the unsaturated fatty acids contained hydrate and moisturize your skin without weighing it down.
