Is Hemp Oil beneficial for the health of your skin?
Hemp oil is actually different from CBD oil. Hemp oil is extracted by cold-pressing hemp seeds, and CBD oil is extracted from hemp leaves and flowers. While hemp oil, hempseed oil and CBD oil might contain traces of Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), it is well below the legal limit of .3% and does not have any mind-altering effect.
Hemp Oil Skin Benefits
Your skin is the only barrier between your environment of toxins, pollutants, UV rays and a host of other problems in this modern day of industrial production. In order to stay healthy your body needs to protect itself and your skin is its' only protection.
To do the job you need to help preserve and protect your skin by keeping it nourished and flexible.
Moisturizing Your Skin
Hemp Oil has moisturizing properties that can be used on all skin types. It doesn't cause clogging of your pores and can even help regulate your skin's oil production so you do not have too much or too little. Hemp oil can help rejuvenate your skin to its' natural glow. By using this oil on a regular basis, you can help retain the proper moisture of your skin. There are many hemp stores in Dickson like Hemp House Plus that can help you.
Soothes Inflammation
Hemp oil also contains Gamma-Linolenic Acid or GLA, which is a helpful fatty acid. This fatty acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin as well as offer relief to people suffering from skin conditions like Psoriasis, Eczema, Lichen Planus, Acne, etc.
Hemp Oil Helps Treat Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) is a skin condition that causes redness or itchiness on the skin. Hemp Oil contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are useful in helping this type of skin condition.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants help fight free radicals in the body. While some amount of free radical production in the body is normal, stress, tobacco and alcohol can increase your free radical production which hurts your skin and can have other serious health complications like cancer. Antioxidants help stabilize free radicals and maintain the natural elasticity of your skin and are important for maintaining skin health.
Skin Health
Your skin is your last line of defense between the outside world and the inside of your body. Keeping your skin healthy is one of the keys to longevity.
Hemp Seeds/Oil contain Linolenic Acid and Oleic Acid. These two ingredients help to maintain the health of your skin. They also have a nice side effect of keeping your skin looking healthy and young.
Unfortunately your body cannot produce these two elements so it is necessary and essential you get them.
Infusing CBD Oil and Hemp Oil together into a skin care product can provide a much more efficient combination to soothe and nourish the skin as well as slow the skin's aging process. CBD stores in Tennessee like Hemp House Plus in Dickson, TN can help.
How To Use Hemp Oil
Hemp Oil can be used directly or you can find it in other topical and oral products like the Pain Balm found at Hemp House Plus in Dickson, TN.
Pure Hemp Oil
Both CBD products for the skin and Pure Hemp Oil can be used directly on your skin, like when you are experiencing irritated or dry skin patches. Topical application of this oil on the affected area may help soothe the problem. However, since everyone is different, it is recommended you do a patch test to ensure it will work for you and your skin type.
How to do a patch test
Step 1: Wash an area on your upper arm and pat it dry
Step 2: Apply a small amount of pure hemp oil
Step 3: Cover the area with a bandage and leave it for 24 hours. The bandage needs to be kept dry.
Step 4: If you experience any burning, irritation or itching of the affected area, this could mean your skin is too sensitive for this oil. If so, standard soap and water should alleviate the problem. You can also try a lesser amount and/or diluting the concentration.
Mixing Hemp Oil with Essential Oils
You can also combine Hemp Oil with melted coconut oil and a few drops of essential oils such as lavender or rosemary which could help enhance the effects on your skin.
CBD Facemask
Hemp House Plus has a care-free, easy to use solution for your face, our CBD facemask. Wash your face and place this mask on for 20 to 30 minutes.
